Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT) is a non-invasive method that consists of supplying oxygen at high concentrations in a pressurized Hyperbaric Chamber at a minimum of 1.4 atmospheres (ATM).
This generates Hyperoxia, i.e. it significantly increases the level of oxygen in the blood and, therefore, in the tissues.
Hyperoxia triggers numerous health benefits such as:
It increases oxygenation in all tissues, even those that are damaged.Stimulates collagen-producing cellsStimulates the immune responseAccelerates wound healing times.Produces angiogenesis, which is the stimulation of blood vessel formationBenefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Increases oxygenation in all tissues
The body's tissues need an adequate supply of oxygen to function. When a tissue is injured, it needs even more oxygen to survive. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen the blood can carry. By performing repeated scheduled treatments, the temporary extra-high oxygen levels help generate the same oxygen levels as in normal tissues, even after therapy is completed.
Stimulates collagen-producing cells
The increase of oxygen in the blood generated by the hyperbaric chamber is anti-inflammatory, stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, stimulates the cells that produce collagen, stimulates the release of stem cells and increases the bactericidal activity of white blood cells.
Stimulates the immune response
People who receive Hyperbaric Oxygenation Treatment have a better immunological response, since they have a greater energy supply at cellular level and less oxidative stress and inflammation, so they are able to fight more efficiently against any disease.
Accelerates wound healing times.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is a therapy based on breathing pure oxygen at high pressure inside specially prepared chambers, which accelerates the healing process of ulcers and wounds.
Produces angiogenesis, which is the stimulation of blood vessel formation
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is able, through the stimulation of growth factors, to create new fully functional vessels, called neoangiogenesis.
The advantage of creating new blood vessels lies in the importance of efficient transport of peripheral blood to all tissues, which becomes even more essential in case of ulcers, necrosis, cerebral infarction or ischemia.
Neoangiogenesis is one of the many scientifically proven therapeutic effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Final Words
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a revolutionary therapy that is poised to change the ways we treat ourselves, since there are now hyperbaric chambers for home use - with prices ranging fr0m $10.000 - $20.000.
