Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment in which a person, under medical supervision, breathes 100% pure oxygen inside a specially designed treatment chamber that is pressurized like being in deep sea.

Normal air that we breathe has 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% carbon dioxide and other gases. Oxygen is normally bound to haemoglobin in the red blood cells and carried to various tissues through blood.

Breathing 100% oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure like in deep sea pressure causes oxygen to be dissolved in our blood plasma and increases its availability 5 to 10 times more than normal to our body's tissues.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HBOT AND HOW IT HELPS?

• High levels of oxygen can help with repair and restoration of body cell and organ function

• Induces growth of tiny blood vessels called angiogenesis in tissues deprived of oxygen

• Stimulates stem cell production that helps in repair of damaged cells and regeneration of new cells in the affected organ

• HBOT helps in faster healing of wounds and chronic ulcers

• It stimulates the production of new bone cells in damaged bones

• High levels of oxygen helps eliminate anaerobic bacteria

• Oxygen augments the antibacterial effect of antibiotics

• HBOT increases immune function of cells

• Inhibits the effects of toxins and decreases inflammation

• Increased pressure decreases nitrogen bubbles in decompression illness

• Increased oxygen to muscle reduces pain and rejuvenates it.
