Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is a medical treatment during which patients breathe 100% oxygen under hyperbaric (air pressure higher than sea level) conditions. This is done while sitting or lying comfortably inside a pressurized chamber. While in the hyperbaric chamber, oxygen diffuses into the body, even into damaged tissues at the cellular level.
Pressurized oxygen has healing capabilities. Oxygen expands and gets into the tissues and stimulates formation of new blood vessels, which leads to healing.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can heal the brain and improve cognitive function. It may improve attention, concentration, the ability to follow directions, and hyperactivity. It has been used as therapy for treatment of candidiasis. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used for allergies, autism, auto-immune disorders, stroke and brain injury, heavy metal poisoning, infections, and multiple sclerosis. Approved uses for HBOT are :
- Refractory osteomyelitis
- Radiation damage to body tissue
- Stimulation of formation of new blood vessels
- Decompression sickness
- Wounds that do not heal
- Diabetic ulcers
- Carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation
