People Have To Pay Rs 300 For 15 Minutes At This Delhi Oxygen Bar

The concept of earning money from selling fresh oxygen in the 1980’s sci-fi movie Spaceballs is now turned into a reality. At a time when the air pollution in Delhi has reached its peak, a Saket bar is profiting from it.

Oxy Pure is a bar in Delhi that is selling fresh oxygen. For fifteen minutes, customers need to pay Rs 300. The website of the startup read:

The inhalation process reportedly takes place using a recliner. There’s a cannula which is loosely fitted around customers’ heads. The two small prongs from the cannula are placed inside the nostrils for the delivery of the oxygen.

Head of staff at Oxy Pure, Bonny Irengbam, said that for Rs 300 customers will get to inhale an amount of oxygen with different aromas. The staff will give the customer a tube from which they inhale the flavored oxygen. And according to Bonny, inhaling the oxygen has several benefits like improved sleep patterns, glowing skin, and curing depression.

There are seven different aromas to choose from, lemongrass, cinnamon, orange, peppermint, spearmint, lavender, and eucalyptus. Besides oxygen inhalation, customers can also try Oxygen Cocktail, which is a glass of beverage filled with oxygen.

In 2015, Troy Paquette and Moses Lam from Canada, captured, compressed and commercialized fresh air in their country.

The company called Vitality Air sold these bottles of air along with masks. Each bottle was enough for 160 one-second breaths. On the online store of the company, the bottle was sold for Rs 2,288.

A study from the Global Burden of Disease reported that the consequences of the toxic air in India and China are alarming, leading to the deaths of three million people in two countries.
