The short answer is yes, of course! After all, oxygen is natural and required by our bodies, continuously, to survive. Using oxygen as a laxative can be a much better alternative to standard laxatives which only target constipation and have a host of side effects. Many people do not realize that standard laxatives can have a harsh effect on the stomach.

Stress, diet, lack of exercise, dehydration, medication? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. Those are all symptoms of a problem I’ll call lack-of-wellness. If you’re stressed out, eating junk, sitting in one spot 23 hours a day, a soft drink in one hand, and a bottle of prescription pill bottles in another (or any combination of), you’re not well and your body isn’t going to function very well. You should be able to push out waste, fully and completely, without problem. If that’s not happening, you need to take inventory of your life, identify where you’re not well, and immediately start a course of action aimed toward improvement.
