Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) uses a pressurized chamber to deliver 100% oxygen, flooding tissues to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, fight infections, and increase stem cell production. It is officially approved for treating conditions like severe burns, decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and chronic, non-healing wounds.
Medical and Health Benefits
Accelerated Wound Healing: Increases oxygen delivery to tissues by up to 25 times, promoting the growth of new blood vessels and collagen to heal stubborn wounds like diabetic foot ulcers.
Reduced Inflammation and Swelling: Effectively treats tissue swelling, bruising, and chronic inflammation.
Infection Control: Boosts white blood cell activity and helps the body fight bacterial and fungal infections, particularly in dead or damaged tissue.
Toxin Removal and Gas Bubble Relief: Treats dangerous air or gas bubbles in blood vessels (embolisms) and aids in clearing carbon monoxide from the body.
Rehabilitation and Recovery: Promotes tissue rejuvenation, aids in repairing radiation injuries, and speeds up recovery from severe physical injuries.
Neurological Support: Evidence suggests it can assist in neuroplasticity and cognitive function improvements for conditions like traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and stroke.
