HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing almost pure oxygen while in a chamber. Oxygen is carried around the body by the blood.
Breathing in pure oxygen under increased pressure, called HBOT, allows extra oxygen to be taken up by the bloodstream and dissolved more quickly.
This extra oxygen can help where healing is slowed down by infection or where blood supply is limited by damage to the tissues.
HBOT is safe, effective and can change people's lives.
-
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a simple procedure that consists of entering a hyperbaric chamber and experiencing an increase in pressure to 1.3 ATA.
-
The increase in oxygen provided by HBOT is enough to help the body’s innate ability to heal and regenerate faster than allowing the process to happen naturally.
-
HBOT can also help with a wide range of medical conditions, easing or lessening symptoms for patients and sufferers worldwide.
-
By breathing 20% up to 100% oxygen in a soft or hard chamber that is designed for the whole body, the atmospheric pressure can be increased and controlled.
-
It is light and portable therefore will fit into a suitable vehicles with minimal life support required
THE IMPORTANCE OF OXYGEN
Every day an average adult consumes 2kg of food, 1 litre of water and almost 550 litres of oxygen. 90% of our daily energy comes from oxygen and the rest food and water. The human brain uses 25% of the oxygen we breathe alone.
Oxygen is what contracts our muscles, repairs our cells, feeds our brains and even calms our nerves, it is also our chief cleansing tool. Every day our body burns off some seven hundred billion old cells.
These old cells are toxic and must be removed from our system, if there is low oxygen in the body it struggles to do so and can lead to disease, infection and tissue destruction.
