What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is a non-invasive treatment that uses increased oxygen levels in a pressurized environment to support the body’s natural recovery processes. It’s designed to optimize oxygen delivery to tissues, helping enhance overall wellness and recovery. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or looking to improve vitality, HBOT is a step toward feeling your best.
HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a controlled, pressurized environment, which allows your body to absorb significantly more oxygen than under normal conditions. This increased oxygenation supports faster tissue repair and improves overall health.
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, this therapy increases oxygen levels in the blood, helping to promote healing for conditions ranging from wounds to radiation injuries. It is widely recognized for its ability to enhance the body’s natural healing process.
Who Can Benefit from HBOT?
HBOT is used for a variety of medical conditions, including those approved by the FDA and emerging uses in wellness and beauty.
FDA-Approved Conditions
The FDA highlights HBOT for the treatment of:
Non-healing wounds (such as diabetic ulcers).
Carbon monoxide poisoning.
Radiation-related injuries.
Severe infections and tissue damage.
Emerging Applications
Recent studies explore HBOT’s potential for:
Anti-aging and skin rejuvenation, improving elasticity and cellular repair.
Recovery from neurological injuries, such as strokes and concussions.
Accelerated athletic recovery by reducing muscle fatigue and enhancing performance.
