HBOT is the use of prescribed high-pressure oxygen to help treat a variety of health conditions and diseases. Each cell in the body needs oxygen to preserve, repair, and enhance cellular function. Breathing 100% oxygen at pressures greater than sea level helps flood the body with enriched oxygen, leading to a cascade of positive benefits.
The power of HBOT is that it provides the body with the necessary energy and the optimal environment to heal wounds no matter where they are or how they got there; from the inside out. This healing power can help those struggling with a variety of diseases as well as those seeking to simply optimize their health.
The Principles
The term “hyperbaric” is defined as a gas at a pressure greater than normal. Compared to breathing normal air at sea level, hyperbaric oxygen-rich air will drive up to 1200% more oxygen into the bloodstream and other fluids, including lymph and cerebrospinal fluid.
Super-saturating the body with oxygen drives the regeneration of damaged tissue, strengthens the immune system, and provides the body with greater opportunity for healing by:
Immediately reversing hypoxia
Acting as a signal inducer of DNA, turning on and off over 5,000 genes
Stimulating the development of new blood vessels where circulation has been compromised (Angiogenesis)
Promoting collagen, bone, and cartilage repair and regeneration
Greatly reducing swelling and inflammation
Mobilizing and stimulating an increase of stem cells within damaged tissues and in bone marrow
