Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical therapy that utilizes oxygen in a pressurized environment. In this pressurized environment, exponential levels of oxygen are able to saturate the blood system; well-beyond what the human body is normally capable of accepting.
BENEFITS OF HBOT
80% of energy used in cellular metabolism comes from oxygen. When cells and tissues are deprived of blood and oxygen, the metabolism comes to a halt and cells stop functioning properly. This lack of oxygen, or hypoxia, is a major component of disease and aging. The benefits of HBOT go far beyond restoring oxygen to depleted tissues and cells though. HBOT is the only non-hormonal DNA signaling drug that has been shown to regulate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, growth, and repair gene expression. HBOT has also been shown to:
- Support and regulate immune function
- Stimulate blood vessel growth
- Directly kill Anaerobes Bacteria
- Increase fibroblast and collagen production
- Reduce inflammation and edema
- Enhance oxidative stress resistance
- Potentiate the effectiveness of certain antibiotics
- Preserve skin grafts, flaps, and other tissues
- Greatly increase the number of circulating stem cells
- Increase production of Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts
- Enhance body’s ability to destroy bacteria & viruses
