Hyperbaric oxygen chambers fill the body with pure, concentrated oxygen. The pressure
inside the chamber is 1.5 to 3 times higher than usual, flooding the cells with life-giving
oxygen.
Many studies claiming HBOT slows aging fail to use double-masked trials. That raises
questions about the results of these experiments.
Increases Collagen Production
Pure oxygen is inhaled in a pressure chamber during hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This
therapy is used to treat various conditions, such as decompression sickness, carbon
monoxide poisoning, and chronic wounds that take longer than usual to heal.
Breathing air with high amounts of oxygen under pressure stimulates the formation of
new blood vessels and collagen, which serves as the body natural scaffold.
HBOT also promotes longevity by suppressing the inflammatory response and reducing
oxidative stress. The combination of these effects has been shown to cause aging reversal
processes and significantly increase life expectancy in humans and animals.
For most people, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is safe. In rare cases, a person may
experience temporary nearsightedness and feel nauseous during treatment due to the
acute infusion of oxygen. A healthcare professional is always in the room to monitor
your condition and help you through the discomfort.
Reduces Inflammation
Inflammation is a natural part of the body’s healing process, but too much inflammation
can slow recovery. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces inflammation by increasing the
amount of oxygen delivered to cells. HBOT stimulates the production of new blood
vessels and collagen, which acts as the body scaffolding for wound healing.
During HBOT, you breathe pure oxygen at a higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure
in a treatment chamber. This rise in oxygen encourages the formation of new blood
vessels, which supply damaged tissues with vital nutrients. It minimizes bruising,
discoloration, and swelling while quickening the healing process.
Athletes at all levels are turning to hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help them recover from
injuries faster and enhance their performance. HBOT reduces inflammation, increases
oxygen delivery and cellular energy, and improves mitochondrial function, enhancing
muscle performance and endurance.
Stimulates Stem Cells
The specialized cells that comprise the bone marrow and stem cells progenitor cells
move to injured areas of the body in response to injury. There, they differentiate into a
variety of cells that assist in healing. They can be stimulated to move by several stimuli,
including pharmaceutical agents and hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Unlike most
medications, which can carry with them an array of side effects, hyperbaric oxygen
treatment offers a lower risk of these unwanted reactions.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy stimulates the production of these particular cells, enabling
them to repair damage, wounds, and injuries. It occurs through increased oxygen
availability, which promotes vasoconstriction and decreases the swelling known as
edema.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy also stimulates the proliferation of new blood vessels,
resulting in better tissue oxygenation and allowing more blood-carrying cells to reach
damaged or injured tissues. It helps shorten the inflammatory process, improving the
quality of scar tissue formed and the quality of the collagen produced.
Increases Brain Function
As a natural alternative to anti-aging drugs and invasive procedures, hyperbaric oxygen
therapy has become increasingly popular in the wellness world. The benefits are not
limited to the skin and bones but can also extend to the brain.
Spending time in a pressurized chamber may seem intimidating to some, but the
treatment is quite comfortable and safe. During the session, the client wears a mask or
hood and is given an oxygen concentration 1.5 to 3 times higher than ambient air
pressure.
This is enough to stimulate the creation of new blood vessels and increase the body’s
ability to repress infection and repair damage. In addition, HBOT produces healthy
oxygen that can help to prevent and reverse traumatic brain injury (TBI). Recent studies
have shown HBOT helps to reduce symptoms of PTSD in people with traumatic brain
injuries, as well as promotes neuroplasticity in patients who suffer from persistent post-
concussion syndrome.
