Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an exciting, rapidly growing area of medicine that harnesses the remarkable healing power of pure,natural oxygen.
Medical science has long recognized that oxygen is necessary for life and for proper healing. HBOT applies this knowledge in a unique treatment that stimulates the body’s own natural ability to rebuild and repair itself and fight disease.
“Hyper” means increased, and “baric” means pressure. During an HBOT treatment session the client breathes 100% medical grade oxygen in a specially designed chamber under increased atmospheric pressure. Breathing pure oxygen under conditions of increased atmospheric pressure super-saturates the entire body with this life-giving substance. The level of oxygen in the tissues increases 10 to 15 times higher than normal, and the blood oxygen level increases by up to 2000 %. In essence, oxygen is infused into all body fluids and tissues – the blood, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, all organs and bone - and it penetrates areas that would otherwise be difficult to reach.
