Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
“Oxygen is nature’s anti-Inflammatory medicine. One hour in a hyperbaric chamber does the equivalent of 40 ibuprofen without harming the liver”
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
It has been proven that healing in many areas of the body cannot occur without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue. We typically don't think of ourselves as deficient in oxygen because we have a continual source. We don't think about our oxygen intake unless we are choking or have lung issues. Panic sets in because we know that we can't live minutes without it. The importance of oxygen is the same for healing. If we have a disease, pain, inflammation, fatigue, or loss of cognitive function, we can be sure our cells are begging for oxygen. We can not live without oxygen, and we can not heal without oxygen. It is our primal nutrient!
In cases such as circulatory problems, non-healing wounds, brain trauma, and strokes, adequate oxygen cannot reach the damaged area, and the body cannot function properly. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances the body's natural healing ability by providing oxygenated blood flow to damaged tissues. It can improve one's quality of life in many areas where standard medicine is not working. Health conditions such as stroke, cancer recovery, head injuries, chronic fatigue, and much more have responded favorably to HBOT.
Is HBOT For You?
Suppose you are suffering from a tissue injury, and you want to try hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat your condition. In that case, this article will describe the protocol that you should follow to benefit from this type of treatment.
What To Expect With HBOT
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, is a medical treatment in which patients breathe 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. This type of therapy helps treat wounds that are slow to heal, infections such as those in the ears and sinuses, osteomyelitis (bone infection), carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, and other conditions caused by insufficient oxygen reaching tissues and cells.
The increased pressure inside the hyperbaric chamber allows more oxygen molecules to be dissolved in your blood plasma. This extra oxygen supply can help heal wounds and damaged tissue more quickly. The effects of HBOT are cumulative – with each session bringing an increase in healing activity.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not a quick fix or cure-all treatment, and it takes time to see results, sometimes even months or years (depending on the severity of your condition).
