Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT):
Enhancing the Body's Ability to Repair and Protect Cells
The body needs oxygen to complete metabolic processes and maintain balance. Insufficient oxygen intake can throw the body out of balance, while reduced oxygen levels can encourage harmful agents to flourish and cause disease.
Why Use (HBOT)?
- HBOT helps increase oxygen levels in the body
- Creates an oxygen-rich environment that can kill harmful agents and toxins
- Enhances the body’s ability to repair and protect cells
Potential Health Benefits of HBOT:
- Reduces oedema and inflammation
- Improves range of motion and collagen production
- Promotes healing and recovery from injury
- Supports scar tissue repair and growth of new blood vessels
- Stimulates stem cell and growth factors
- Helps destroy viruses and anaerobic bacteria
- Increases immune function and physical training
- Improves gut wall function and absorption of nutrients
Conditions that HBOT may assist with:
- Fungal Infections: HBOT has been shown to be effective in treating a range of fungal infections.
- Chronic Pain: HBOT has been shown to help alleviate chronic pain, particularly pain caused by conditions such as fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome.
- Autism and Brain Injuries: HBOT has been shown to be effective in improving brain function and reducing symptoms in individuals with autism and traumatic brain injuries.
- Sporting Concussions/Injury: HBOT has been shown to be an effective therapy for individuals who have suffered concussions or other sports-related injuries.
- Heart Disease: HBOT has been shown to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms in individuals with heart disease.
- Recovery from Radiotherapy: HBOT has been shown to be effective in assisting individuals recovering from radiotherapy.
- Skin Ulcers, Abscesses, and Burns: HBOT has been shown to be effective in promoting the healing of skin ulcers, abscesses, and burns.
- Diabetes Foot: HBOT has been shown to be effective in promoting the healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
- Poor Cognition/Memory: HBOT has been shown to improve cognitive function and memory in individuals with conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Shift Work and Jet Lag: HBOT has been shown to help alleviate the effects of shift work and jet lag.
While HBOT is not a cure for these conditions, it has been demonstrated to be an effective therapy that can complement other treatments and help individuals manage their symptoms. It is essential to speak with a healthcare professional to determine if HBOT is suitable for your particular condition.
What’s a HBOT Session Like?
- A typical session lasts for 60-90 minutes
- The person can relax, read a book, watch a movie, or sleep
- The chamber is completely safe and can be combined with most other therapies without side effects
- The pressure in the chamber must be equalised with the outside environment, which can cause the sensation of “ears popping.”
- Discomfort may indicate blocked Eustachian tubes, which can be alleviated by regulating pressurisation.
What’s Next?
HBOT is a simple, non-invasive, and painless treatment that enhances the body’s ability to repair and regenerate. It has a broad range of potential health benefits and can be used as an adjunct therapy to complement and enhance the healing process in chronic and acute conditions.
