HBOT HyperBaric Oxygen Therapy
How HBOT Works;
Increased Oxygen Levels: The pressurized environment forces more oxygen into the blood plasma.
Enhanced Delivery: This enriched plasma carries high concentrations of oxygen deep into the body's tissues, even those with poor blood flow.
Cellular Benefits: The extra oxygen stimulates the body's natural healing processes, promotes cell rejuvenation, and supports the growth of new blood vessels.
Key Benefits;
Accelerated Healing: HBOT speeds up recovery from injuries and surgeries by providing tissues with the oxygen needed for repair.
Infection Control:
The oxygen has antimicrobial effects, helping to fight bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics
Improved Circulation:
HBOT stimulates angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, and increases blood flow, which is beneficial for oxygen-deprived tissues.
Cellular Rejuvenation:
It promotes the production of stem cells and collagen, contributing to skin firmness and tissue repair.
Reduced Inflammation:
HBOT can reduce inflammation in various tissues and organs.
Detoxification:
It can aid in reversing blood poisonings like carbon monoxide and cyanide by helping to move the poisonous gases out of the body.
Cognitive & Performance Enhancement:
HBOT may improve mental clarity, focus, and physical endurance by boosting oxygen delivery to the brain and muscles.
Conditions Treated with HBOT;
Acute Injuries: Carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, and crush injuries.
Chronic Wounds: Diabetic foot ulcers and failed skin grafts.
Radiation Damage: Treating tissue damage resulting from radiation therapy.
Compromised Tissues: Benefits for skin flaps or grafts at risk of dying from a lack of blood supply.
Potential Applications;
Long COVID Symptoms: Some studies suggest HBOT could help with fatigue and brain fog associated with Long COVID.
