IMA water benefits
Human body and oxygen
The human body is nothing other than water, 75% in terms of mass and 99.3% on a molecular level.
Oxygen is essential to all body functions since the body can only survive for a few minutes without it. Approximately 90% of the body’s energy is generated by oxygen, emphasizing its primary importance. Any lack of oxygen can lead to a reduction in the functioning of essential body processes.
This shortage can alter cell metabolism, from highly efficient oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to a less efficient anaerobic glycolysis process. This metabolic change results in the formation of lactic acid, leading to states of tiredness and pain.
Your body needs water and your cells need oxygen.
Ensuring a continuous supply of oxygen especially through water is essential to maintain optimal recovery, overall balance and energy levels.
Researchs
The IMA system increases the oxygen content by more than 2.5 times (250%) in your water.
It has been demonstrated that taking IMA baths on a regular basis significantly improves the oxygen saturation of cells and therefore energy in the body. The cells activity rises significantly therefore the immune response too.
Ultimately an anti-aging effect is activated by optimal functioning of all metabolisms of the body.
How it works
IMA technology produces a clean and hygienic temperate bath water with a stable high level of oxygen.
Oxygen-enriched water is very beneficial for cells and help to rebalance, recover and regenerate the whole body.
Taking a bath in this water means you to relax and recharge your batteries, but not only that… While you enjoy this pleasant moment, your body is having a unique experience.
Hydration and oxygenation are so intense and unusual that your entire body benefits, while your metabolism is restored.
The effect of the process on running water transforms bath water into a real reservoir of oxygen quickly assimilated by your body through the skin and the interstitial part due to its exceptional properties.

The partial pressure level indicates the quantity of oxygen that can dissolve in the blood and the extent to which oxygen can diffuse from the airspace of the lungs (i.e. gas) to the bloodstream (i.e. liquid).
IMA baths provide a unique means of transporting oxygen in liquid form to the mitochondria responsible for cellular activity and membrane potential.
The result is water twice as rich in oxygen as any water with a higher partial pressure and biocompatibility characteristics similar to those of the human body.
Skin
Oxygen is vital to the body and essential for cells function.
Our skin, which is the largest organ of the body, is our first line defense against pathogens, environmental chemicals or any other external aggression.
IMA baths are both a unique and most suitable solution to provide a substantial supply of oxygen to the body.
Not only does it eliminate harmful bacteria on the skin, but it also promotes healing and provides skin cells with the energy they need to carry out its functions.
As the body is immersed in IMA bath water containing increased levels of stable oxygen, a significant amount of oxygen passes through the pores, hair follicles and interstitial liquid, reaching deep to the sebaceous glands.
A light water-repellent veil on the surface of the skin promotes cicatrization and induces a phenomenon of cleansing and detoxification outside and inside the body.
The bath also produces an anti-aging effect by inducing a regeneration phenomenon, gently exfoliating and by eliminating old, dry and dead skin to reveal a fresh and healthy skin layer.
The alkaline and sterile environment of oxygen-enriched baths water avoids any use of soap or cleaners.
Oxygen is negatively charged, leading to an attraction to positively charged impurities such as sebum, anaerobic pathogens, and other contaminants.
This unique property conveyed by water allows intense cleansing and detoxification in the deepest layers of the skin.
Oxygen-enriched baths can be beneficial for everyone’s skin and general condition.
Dehydration deteriorates and weakens the skin, which becomes dull and dry, leading to itching or other skin rashes.
Baths provide deep hydration and highly energizing oxygenation, a natural process very effective against inflammatory skin and subcutaneous conditions.
Ultimately, the skin becomes smooth, hydrated and elastic again, both for the body and the face.
Improves immune function
Baths enriched with oxygen have an reviving and immunostimulating effect on the body.
The instense oxygen supply promotes acid-base and bacterial rebalancing on the skin.
Highly oxygenated cells produce more energy and increase the immune response throughout the body.
Stress levels directly impact immune function. This results in increased cortisol levels thereby slowing down essential bodily functions, including the immune system.
Relaxation and oxygen considerably reduce the effects of stress, and promote immune defense metabolism as well as regeneration.
Relieves stress
Temperate water enriched with oxygen has the ability to relieve deep tension in muscles and tissues while improving blood circulation.
The increase and release of serotonin improves mood and significantly reduces stress.
An IMA oxygen-enriched bath before bed reduce the intensity of oxidative reactions in the body and helps improve sleep quality, which greatly contributes to facilitating the body’s regenerative metabolisms.
The benefits and improvements are not only somatic and physiological but also cognitive.
Improves memory and mood
Oxygen is an essential element for vital but also mental functions.
Most of the body’s oxygen supply goes to the brain.
Everything else is designed to support other crucial bodily functions.
Increased levels of oxygenation and heat can also impact our circulatory systems, particularly in the blood and lungs. High temperatures cause blood vessels to expand, allowing the circulatory system to receive high concentrations of oxygen.
Oxygen in the lungs provides perfusion to the blood vessels that carry essential nutrients to our organs, tissues and brain.
Oxygenated cells allow to produce and increase their energy levels in order to maintain and improve overall vitality. The regenerative effect of oxygen in this form lies in its ability to influence the processes of excitation and inhibition that have a calming effect on the functioning of the cerebral cortex.
Better oxygenation restores blood pressure and normalizes vegetative processes, which activates respiratory functions and compensates for localized oxygen deficits.
Helps fight aging
Hypoxia, which develops and affects the organs and tissues of the body, contributes significantly to the progression of age-related changes and alterations. Transcapillary oxygen exchange in blood vessels plays an essential role in the supply of oxygen to tissues. The primary function of microcirculation is to provide oxygen to the tissues since the human body’s oxygen reserves are quite limited.
IMA baths play a crucial role in mitigating and reversing in anti-aging effects. Oxygen in liquid form reduces the concentration of free radicals in the body, which are responsible for stress and aging.
Free radicals attack and damage cells and DNA by harvesting electrons from the body, leading to aging and other malfunctions. Negative ions, produced by oxygen molecules, stabilize and neutralise free radicals, thus preventing any problems that may result, including aging.
Helps recovery after exercise
Excessive lactic acid production can occur following long and intense physical activity. Above a certain threshold and due to lack of oxygen, this can lead to more or less serious complications in non-athletic or sedentary people.
Conversely, active and trained people generally eliminate excess lactic acid more efficiently and quickly. Fortunately, IMA baths offer an unparalleled alternative to compensate for these undesirable side effects.
