Oxygen Therapy has been increasing in popularity recently and for good reason. Hyperbaric refers to pressure that is greater than sea level pressure. Ranging from 1.3 to 3 Atmosheric pressure. Typically in a room there is 1 atmospheric pressure around 21% of the air being oxygen. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) gives the human body oxygen supersaturation.
Here are some amazing benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy:
The formation of new blood vessels termed angiogenesis; the pressure in the HBOT chamber causes oxygen molecules to become more soluble to readily pass through cell membranes allowing more than just the red blood cells to deliver and transport oxygen thus creating new transportation means of oxygen in the body.
Clinical use in hospitals include but not limited to radiation burns, infections, non stop-healing diabetic foot ulcers, gangraneous tissue that's blacked dead like tissue, traumatic brain injuries, smoke inhalation and much more.
Enhancement Of Antioxidant Activity through enzymes such as superoxide dismutase that is one of the bodies main way of cleaning damaging free radical formation.
Cognitive Enhancement through plasma infiltration affecting oxygen deprived tissue. Examples include stroke (cerebrovascular accident)
A summary of research on HBOT included around 40 sessions of HBOT. I would recommend Google search Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) near me. I would recommend giving at least 20 HBOT sessions before coming to any conclusions.
