Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) benefits your body by helping to
increase your body's ability to absorb oxygen. Oxygen is vital for
health; it is the single most important element your body needs. Oxygen
is our primary source of energy. Not only does oxygen fuel the body, it
supports the immune system by destroying toxic substances. Anaerobic
bacteria, fungi and viruses all have a common intolerance for oxygen;
they cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment. The body's vital
functions are enhanced by increased availability of oxygen. Increased
pressure also stimulates blood flow and decreases inflammation, and has
a calming effect. Sleep is enhanced, absorption of nutrients and
digestion are improved. At the cellular level, oxygen is required for
proper function.
Oxygen deficiency is often overlooked. Some of the possible signs
of low oxygen levels in the body include:
- Premature Aging
- Unexplainable depression, anger or sadness
- Memory loss/forgetfulness
- Sleeping disorders, drowsiness, exhaustion
- Digestive disorders, acid stomach
- Excessive colds or infections
- Inflamed, swollen or aching joints
- Muscle or tendon aches
- Headaches
- Chronic fatigue
- Difficulty breathing, breathlessness, shortness of breath
Certain environments and activities can contribute to low oxygen levels,
including:
- Regular, heavy exercise
- Regular participation in sports activities
- Working in a sealed building
- Working excessive hours
- High stress work environments
- Living in city with high pollution
- Traveling frequently in airplanes
- Frequent travel across time zones
- Smoking or being around smokers
- Consuming alcohol on a regular basis
- Driving in congested traffic more than 1 hour per day
- Lack of exercise/sedentary lifestyle
