HBOT - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

The first recorded hyperbaric chamber was built by Henshaw in 1662, making this therapy almost 350 years old. Sometimes progress moves slowly. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is the use of 100% oxygen while under increased atmospheric pressure. The treatment is simple, but has far ranging effects. These include the promotion of new blood vessel growth, decreased swelling and inflammation, deactivation of toxins, increased resistance to infections, elimination of toxins and waste products, increased sugar metabolism in the brain, improved rate of healing, promotion of new cell growth, and decreased lactic acid production. The effects are widespread and at a basic level, as well as promoting an overall improvement in health. HBOT Is Used In A Wide Variety Of Conditions Because of its effects, HBOT has been used in a wide variety of conditions. These include burns, radiation effects, carbon monoxide toxicity, gangrene, stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, head injuries, hypoxic episodes (such as near drowning), heart attack, chronic fatigue states, infections of many kinds (including hepatitis and Lyme), ADHD, sports injuries, autism, migraines, cancer, Trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, vascular disease, lupus, diabetic complications, macular degeneration, and decreased immune function. There are many others, but essentially any condition with a state of low oxygen content in the tissues can benefit from treatment. The Treatment Itself Is Very Easy You simply sit or lie in a chamber and breathe. Depending on the type of chamber, you can watch TV, read, or take a nap. The major hurdle is the pressure, and you must be able to clear your ears in order to prevent any damage to them. This is easy to do, even for children, and should pose no problem.
