🌟 Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Works at the Cellular Level 🌟
HBOT isn’t just about breathing oxygen, it’s about helping your cells heal and thrive! Here’s how it benefits three major conditions:
✅ Fibromyalgia
Cellular Issue:
Fibromyalgia is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired ATP (energy) production. Cells struggle to maintain energy balance, leading to muscle pain and fatigue.
HBOT Effect:
HBOT increases dissolved oxygen in plasma, which enhances mitochondrial respiration and ATP synthesis. Extra oxygen reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, improving cellular metabolism and tissue repair.
✅ Diabetes
Cellular Issue:
Chronic hyperglycemia damages microvasculature and impairs oxygen delivery to tissues. Wound healing is slowed because fibroblasts and immune cells lack sufficient oxygen for collagen synthesis and pathogen defense.
HBOT Effect:
HBOT elevates tissue oxygen tension, stimulating angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) and fibroblast activity. It also enhances leukocyte function for infection control and upregulates growth factors like VEGF, accelerating wound healing at the cellular level.
✅ Parkinson’s Disease
Cellular Issue:
Parkinson’s involves degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, partly due to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Neurons have reduced ability to produce ATP and manage reactive oxygen species (ROS).
HBOT Effect:
HBOT improves oxygen availability for neuronal mitochondria, supporting ATP production and reducing ROS damage. It also promotes neuroplasticity and may upregulate antioxidant enzymes, protecting neurons and improving cellular resilience.
💡 How HBOT Works:
Under pressure, oxygen dissolves into your blood plasma, reaching areas that need it most. This helps repair tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore cellular energy.
