How to Use Hydrogen Peroxide in a Nebulizer

Inhaling hydrogen peroxide in a nebulizer is one of those hacks that I wish I’d known about years ago when my kids were young. They seemed to always be bringing home all sorts of bugs from school... It was a constant battle!

But I know about it now, and the great thing about hydrogen peroxide is that it’s cheap and inhaling it has real benefits for preventing those bugs that get passed around families, schools and communities, along with many other health challenges.

For myself, many years of working in a mold riddled building had flattened my immune system and left me with many health issues, including a chronic cough. Nebulising hydrogen peroxide definitely helped in resolving some of those issues.

In the video above, and in this article, I’m going to teach you how to make a hydrogen peroxide/saline solution and how to use it in a nebuliser. This article will walk you through the process I use to prepare and dilute it so that I can inhale it safely.

Understanding Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is a compound known for its cleaning and sterilizing capabilities. Not only is it valuable for external use, but it can also be used internally to increase oxygen levels within the body, a method particularly useful in combatting various health conditions.

The benefits of increased oxygen may include improved immune function and potentially lower risks of ailments like cancer, which thrives in low-oxygen environments.

Using Hydrogen Peroxide in a Nebulizer

Nebulizing hydrogen peroxide is one way to deliver more oxygen into your system. My husband and I have been using this regularly, especially in the winter if we feel a cold or flu coming on. This simple preventive measure has kept us healthy and bug free for the past few years.

Choosing the Right Hydrogen Peroxide

For nebulization, it's crucial to use pure food-grade hydrogen peroxide with no stabilisers or additives. The 35% concentration is generally recommended, but it's important to dilute it properly to make it safe for inhalation. A 3% solution is what is commmonly used for most applications, including nebulising. Avoid using the hydrogen peroxide commonly sold in pharmacies, as it may contain unwanted preservatives.

NOTE: Also be wary of the ‘food grade’ 3% solutions being sold for cleaning. They are fantastic for just that - cleaning! But they generally contain some sort of stabiliser to prevent the product from degrading, and so are probably not suitable for inhaling or ingestion!

Diluting Hydrogen Peroxide for Nebulization

1. Initial Dilution

To achieve a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, dilute one part of the 35% hydrogen peroxide with 11 parts distilled water. For example - Mix 100 ml of hydrogen peroxide with 1.1 liter of distilled water. - Or for a smaller batch, cut that in half and use 50 ml of hydrogen peroxide with 550 ml of distilled water.

2. Storing Hydrogen Peroxide

Hyrdrogen peroxide without additives is unstable and will gradually degrade into water and oxygen over time, especially when exposed to light or some organic compounds. The best place to store your 35% hydrogen peroxide is either in the fridge or the freezer, in the dark, and well away from the reach of young children.

You do not want children getting into this as this strength will burn!

The diluted 3% solution is much less dangerous, although still keep it away from young children. You can store the diluted solution in a labeled bottle in the fridge to keep it potent and effective for longer.

Preparing Saline Solution

Saline solution is essential for nebulization with hydrogen peroxide and making your own saline is really simple:

1. Measure one cup of distilled water.

2. Add half a teaspoon of Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt. Stir well to ensure the salt is fully dissolved.

3. Label the bottle and store the prepared saline in the fridge.

Mixing for Nebulization

1. Creating the Nebulizer Mixture:

If you’ve not used hydrogen peroxide in a nebuliser before, you may want to initially use a ratio of 4 parts saline to 1 part hydrogen peroxide for a milder solution. Otherwise it can irritate the nostrils a little. Then, eventually shift to a 3 to 1 saline to hydrogen peroxide ratio as your comfort level improves.

2. Using the Mixture:

Pour approximately 5 ml of the hydrogen peroxide/saline mixture into the nebulizer, fit your face mask and begin treatment.

Nebulizer Options

There are different types of nebulizers available, and choosing the right one can enhance your experience:

Plug-in machines are reliable and more durable, but they are more expensive to buy initially and require mains power to run.

Portable models like this one are more affordable and can be used anywhere, but may not last as long.

Ensure whatever nebulizer you decide to buy has a face mask so you can inhale the vapour via both your nose and mouth.

Final thoughts

Using hydrogen peroxide in a nebulizer can be an effective way to boost your health by increasing oxygen levels. Once you get the hang of the dilution ratios, it becomes quite straightforward.
