It might sound like something from sci-fi, but it's a well-established medical treatment with some fascinating science behind it!
In a nutshell: HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This allows your lungs to gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure.
This "super-oxygenated" blood then helps your body's natural healing processes in powerful ways, such as:
ยท Fighting Infection: Supercharging white blood cells.
ยท Healing Wounds: Stimulating the growth of new blood vessels.
ยท Reducing Inflammation: A key player in many chronic conditions.
ยท Repairing Tissues: Aiding recovery from injury, surgery, and more.
While most known for treating decompression sickness in divers, HBOT is now used for a range of conditions from diabetic wounds and carbon monoxide poisoning to radiation injuries and certain infections.
Knowledge is power when it comes to your health! Have you ever heard of or experienced HBOT? Share your thoughts in the comments!
