Supportive Therapies for Rest, Balance & Renewal

Dao House offers a curated selection of wellness amenities designed to support rest, recovery, and vitality at high elevation.  These services may be enjoyed individually or integrated into your retreat experience.

Oxygen Lounge Sessions

At an elevation of approximately 9,200 feet, some guests may experience altitude-related discomfort such as headaches, fatigue, reduced appetite, or difficulty sleeping. Our Oxygen Lounge Sessions provide a gentle boost by increasing oxygen intake, helping the body adjust more comfortably to mountain conditions.

Even guests without noticeable symptoms often report increased energy, mental clarity, and overall well-being. Oxygen sessions may also support appetite and improve tolerance to altitude-related sluggishness.

Aromatherapy Options

All aromatherapy blends are made with food-grade, organic essential oils, infused with 90% purified oxygen through a base of distilled water.

Eucalyptus
Refreshing and cooling, eucalyptus supports clear breathing, opens the chest, and promotes mental alertness. Commonly used for its decongesting and invigorating properties.

Silver Fir
Soft, resinous, and grounding, silver fir encourages relaxation and mental clarity while supporting the respiratory system. This warming oil is especially beneficial during colder months.

Lavender
Known for its calming and soothing effects, lavender supports relaxation, improved sleep quality, and nervous system balance.

No Blend (Pure Oxygen)
For guests sensitive to essential oils, pure oxygen is available with no aromatherapy added.
