Know About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a process to regulate an increased intake of oxygen. This assists with detoxification and the healing process.

Patients enter a transparent chamber into which 100% oxygen is pumped. The increase in atmospheric pressure allows concentrated oxygen to be delivered to the damaged tissue. This speeds up the healing process.

HBOT sessions might last for a duration starting from ninety minutes, which may extend up to two hours.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is used to treat:

• Air embolisms experienced by deep-sea divers. The condition is known as “the bends”
• Carbon monoxide poisoning emitted by vehicles, engines, fireplaces, furnaces, gas stoves and lanterns.

• Gas gangrene, which is a bacterial infection producing gas in tissues
• Neurological problems such as traumatic brain injuries and strokes

Generally, one session will suffice for a simple oxygen treatment. Some opt for a session before a marathon and one after to rejuvenate the cells.
