Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber (HBOT)

HBOT involves a sealed chamber with 2 to 3 times higher air pressure than normal and the inhalation of pure oxygen, which aids maximum absorption into the plasma.
Benefits are many including accelerated injury healing, release of growth factors and stem cells, reduction of inflammation throughout the body, and so on.
The chamber is sealed air-tight and pressure is then increased. It takes about 20 minutes to pressurize the chamber. The session of breathing oxygen through the mask then may last an hour or so. Then another 20 minutes to depressurize the chamber so the door can be opened.
If you’re claustrophobic, HBOT may not be to your liking.
Results? LongevityLive.com notes:
Each patient received 60 daily hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions over the course of 90 days.
There is a notable difference between portable hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers or pods you can buy on the internet and even those you may use at walk-in health centres. This is not to be confused with medically designed, approved hyperbaric oxygen therapy suites referred to in this scientific study.
Our body senses fluctuations in oxygen and that rejuvenation processes can actually be triggered by these oxygen fluctuations. This is one of the main principles behind the hyperbaric oxygen therapy medical protocol. The treatment involves the inhalation of 100% pure oxygen while sitting in a large HBOT suite. The chamber is pressurized with air to above atmospheric levels.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions will take approximately two hours per day, five days a week, for 12 weeks. Two to three times a week.
