What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Healing cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue and cells. Many illnesses and injuries fail to heal because of inadequate oxygen levels. Inflammation, swelling, and reduced blood flow contribute to non-healing. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) causes increased oxygen under pressure, which provides this extra oxygen to tissue and cells with minimal side effects. Recent research initiatives from Israel have demonstrated the improvement of brain functions damaged by age, stroke, or brain injury. Most recently the researchers from Israel have developed a protocol including hyperbaric oxygen that has demonstrated that the aging process can in fact be reversed at the basic cellular-molecular level.
What are the benefits of HBOT?
HBOT, when used as a complement, enhances the quality of life and results in situations where other approaches may yield incomplete effectiveness.
Overview
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized environment.
In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased two to three times higher than normal.
When your blood carries this extra oxygen also dissolved in plasma throughout your body, it reaches further, which helps to enhance all healing and regenerative processes in the body.
