Well, you can water with hydrogen peroxide... It is by weight more oxygen than hydrogen. I forget how much but google that and you'll find an answer.

I'm with Phil. Use hydrogen peroxide so the roots can get some oxygen and don't drown. 3 tablespoons per gallon. Water until it seeps out the bottom. May seem counter intuitive, but right now your plants are starved for oxygen, and the H2O2 will give it to them.

Your local drugstore. It's the same stuff you put on a cut to keep it from getting infected. (The stuff that fizzes when you pour it on). Use 3% hydrogen peroxide. That's the stuff that they carry at the drugstore.

You can get higher concentrations, but for now you're better off just using 3% because it's easy to find in a hurry and you won't have to mess around with diluting it.

It will re-saturate your soil, but the goal is to add oxygen to the roots, and the H2O2 will do exactly that. The soil will dry faster because the plants will resume normal uptake of the water in the soil. When they don't have oxygen they don't carry out normal fuction (and eventually die).

Liquid Oxygen is a brand name suppliment intended for human consumption. It has other added ingredients, including some salts and whatnot. Don't bother with this. Just use 3% hydrogen peroxide from the first aid section of your pharmacy. Comes in a brown bottle, and says 3% right on the label.

Seems to be pure H2O2, so I'd say it would work fine, but I've never used it so can't vouch for it. I have, however, used 3% on overwatered plants and it worked great. I prefer to only give advice from my own experiences, so the stuff you linked would be out of my range of experience. (I would also suspect it's the exact same stuff at a higher concentration, then re-labelled so they can charge you extra)

As far as I know, H2O2 is H2O2. It's diluted with pure water to a specific concentration. The food grade stuff is just more concentrated. The 3% at the pharmacy is for medical use, so you can be confident it's pure.

It should give you instructions on the packaging. I'm honestly not trying to dodge the question, I just always hesitate to give advice on something I'm not familiar with. I suppose you could just do the math and figure out how much to dilute it to get the same percentage as 3% at 3 tablespoons per gallon.
