Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): A Proven Approach to Healing
Pressurized air therapyhas been utilized for over 350 years, with more than 70 years of published research supporting the benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). Even slightly elevated atmospheric pressure has been shown to provide significant therapeutic advantages, making HBOT a valuable tool in integrative medicine.
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works
HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing the body to absorb higher-than-normal levels of oxygen. This increased oxygen availability:
✔ Enhances Cellular Healing – Promotes tissue repair and regeneration.
✔ Reduces Inflammation – Helps alleviate chronic pain and inflammatory conditions.
✔ Boosts Immune Function – Strengthens the body's ability to fight infections and disease.
✔ Stimulates Stem Cell Production – Supports natural cell growth and tissue recovery.
✔ Improves Blood Flow & Oxygenation – Enhances circulation, delivering vital oxygen to deprived tissues.
HBOT in Cancer Therapy & Chronic Disease Treatment
For cancer patients and individuals facing chronic illnesses, HBOT can help by:
✔ Increasing Oxygen Delivery to Cancerous Tissues – Oxygen-rich environments make it harder for cancer cells to thrive.
✔ Enhancing Detoxification – Aids in removing toxins and metabolic waste from the body.
✔ Supporting Recovery from Radiation & Chemotherapy– Helps reduce side effects such as fatigue, tissue damage, and cognitive decline.
What to Expect During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Many patients describe Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)as feeling similar to the experience of flying in an airplane. The process involves a gradual increase and decrease in pressure, making it a comfortable and relaxing therapy for most individuals.
The HBOT Experience:
Pressurization Phase – As the chamber gradually increases in pressure, you may feel a slight sensation in your ears, similar to descending in an airplane. Some patients naturally equalize ear pressure, while others may need to:
✔ Swallow
✔ Yawn
✔ Chew gum
✔ Perform the Valsalva maneuver (gently blowing while pinching the nose closed)
Treatment Phase – Once the desired pressure is reached, you will breathe in pure oxygen while comfortably resting. Many patients relax, read, listen to music, or even nap during the session.
Decompression Phase – When the session is complete, the pressure is gradually reducedback to normal atmospheric levels. This transition is gentle, ensuring a smooth and safe return to normal conditions.
Is HBOT Comfortable?
✔ Non-invasive & painless
✔ Completely enclosed but spacious enough for comfort
✔ Relaxing environment with minimal side effects
✔ May cause mild ear pressure, which can be easily managed
