Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. It promotes healing and reduces inflammation by allowing your lungs to gather more oxygen than would be possible breathing at normal air pressure.

In a hyperbaric chamber, air pressure is increased to three times higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This helps your blood carry more oxygen to organs and tissues, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

HBOT is used to treat various conditions, including chronic wounds, carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, radiation injury, infections, and more. It is also popular for its anti-aging and wellness benefits.

Yes, HBOT is generally considered safe when administered by trained professionals. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. It’s important to consult with your doctor to determine if HBOT is right for you.

A typical HBOT session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. The duration and number of sessions needed can vary based on the condition being treated and the individual’s response to therapy.

During the session, you will lie down in the chamber and breathe normally. You may experience a sensation of fullness in your ears as the pressure changes, similar to what you feel during an airplane takeoff or landing.

Some people may experience mild side effects, such as ear pressure, sinus discomfort, or temporary changes in vision. Serious side effects are rare but can include oxygen toxicity and lung damage.

The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated and individual response. Some conditions may require 20-40 sessions, while others may need fewer.
