Collection: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Knowing the science behind hyperbaric is interesting. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing in 100% pure oxygen while sitting or lying down in a pressurized chamber. The whole process is often pain-free and non-invasive. While inside a chamber, you will be breathing 10 to 20 times more oxygen than you would regularly breathe through the concentrated 21% oxygen you get from the current air outside. Oxygen Saturation Fights Infection – When the fluids and tissues within the body are saturated in oxygen, the body is no longer an ideal environment for anaerobic bacteria to thrive and cause infection. HBOT directly kills anaerobes, enhances the ability of white blood cells to engulf and digest bacteria and fungi, and enhances the ability of amino glycoside antibiotics to function.
Increased Oxygen Levels – Through HBOT induced vasoconstriction and hyperoxygenation, the treatment simultaneously reduces edema and increases oxygenation. A patient’s tissues are hyper oxygenated by increasing the plasma oxygen concentration 10 – 15 times which allows the oxygen to provide immediate support to areas with compromised blood flow. HBOT is being utilized to treat a variety of illnesses, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized HBOT treatment for 14 illnesses and diseases. Nevertheless, many trials have shown that HBOT is successful in treating a variety of other illnesses, and it has been permitted for practice in more than 50 countries across the world.
