What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy entails inhaling pure oxygen within a pressurised chamber to boost health, well-being, and cell rejuvenation. The increased concentration of pure oxygen allows higher and faster oxygen supply to the lungs, tissues, and cells to improve well-being and boost longevity, among its other benefits.
Our body's natural ability to take in oxygen diminishes as we age. Insufficient oxygen levels can lead to tissue weakness and damage, hasten the ageing process, and potentially affect memory function. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy supplies the body and cells with increased oxygen to help optimise its functioning.
What is a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber?
A hyperbaric chamber offers a controlled, pressurised environment where oxygen levels are significantly higher—ranging from 1.5 to 3 times more concentrated than atmosphere. Unlike the air we typically breathe, which contains around 20% oxygen, the hyperbaric oxygen chamber delivers air enriched with 100% oxygen. This abundance of oxygen saturates the bloodstream, facilitating the repair of injured tissues and promoting the restoration of normal bodily functions.
Individuals can sit comfortably or recline on a specialised surface within hyperbaric oxygen chambers. Once settled, they are encouraged to take slow, deep breaths and relax throughout the treatment. By adopting a relaxed posture and deep breathing pattern, patients can optimise oxygen absorption and circulation, facilitating its delivery to tissues needing healing. This gentle and tranquil atmosphere within the chamber fosters a sense of comfort and well-being, enabling individuals to fully engage healing process.
