Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:
This therapy enhances oxygen delivery to all your cells and tissues—even those that might not normally receive oxygen. The therapy takes place in a plastic chamber roughly twenty-five cubic feet in size, which has a slightly higher atmospheric pressure than that of a normal room. The physics principle that underlies Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is as follows: when you put two substances, a liquid and a gas, under a slightly elevated air pressure, the gas will go into the liquid.
Since your body is composed of over 70% water, the slightly elevated pressure of the HBOT chamber gently forces oxygen into the plasma and therefore into tissues that don't normally receive enough oxygen. Muscles, skin, nerves, bones, and organs are all exposed directly to oxygen, creating a number of positive chemical reactions. HBOT is highly effective against a wide variety of disorders such as chronic fatigue, slow wound healing, poor lung capacity, many degenerative conditions associated with ageing, improved chemical balance in the body, relieving symptoms of PMS and depression, increased circulation and metabolism resulting in loss of body fat, and headaches.
A few hundred years ago, the oxygen content of our atmosphere was about 35%. Today it is about 21% due to industrial factories, auto exhaust, pesticides and other pollutants that are draining the oxygen from the atmosphere.
With aging, our ability to consume sufficient oxygen decreases 5% to 10% per decade between the ages of 25 and 75. You could be at high risk of oxygen deficiency and a perfect candidate for the oxygen chamber if you fall under any of these categories: the elderly, smokers, those who participate in regular heavy exercise, those who participate regularly in sports activities, those who work in a sealed building, those who work in a high-stressed environment and those who work regular excessive hours.
