Under normal circumstances, only red blood cells transport oxygen through the blood. This often deprives important tissues of oxygen, especially after an injury.
Without oxygen, cells can’t produce the energy needed for bacterial defence, collagen synthesis, regeneration, or any other essential repair functions. Instead, the healing process slows until it comes to a full halt. It’s not enough to simply inhale oxygen — the body needs concentrated oxygen flow to overcome its deficiencies.
HBOT makes it possible to deliver the concentrated oxygen needed for healing and recovery. Using a special hyperbaric chamber, high levels of oxygen gets dissolved into the liquid of the blood (plasma) so that it can thoroughly reach the areas where circulation has become compromised.
The essential benefit of HBOT is that it stimulates and supports the body’s own healing process. When white blood cells receive enough oxygen, they can effectively kill bacteria, reduce swelling, and allow the rapid reproduction of new blood vessels. HBOT even enables cells to build new connective tissue and improve organ function.
