HYPERBARIC

OXYGEN THERAPY

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves the medical use of oxygen in a pressurized environment exceeding 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA). The increased pressure enables oxygen to dissolve directly into the blood plasma, bypassing the reliance on hemoglobin or red blood cells. This process delivers elevated oxygen levels throughout the body, producing a wide range of positive physiological, biochemical, and cellular effects. As a noninvasive treatment, HBOT is widely regarded as the most effective method for enhancing oxygen delivery to all organs.

Each session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, during which patients lie down and breathe normally. Clinical studies have shown that HBOT supports the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate, making it a valuable adjunct therapy for promoting healing in both acute and chronic conditions.

Best Uses For Mild Hyperbaric

Oxygen Therapy

ENHANCED RECOVERY

Speeds up the healing of injuries, wounds, and post-surgical recovery by improving oxygen delivery to tissues, promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

IMPROVE CIRCULATION

Enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body, supporting overall circulatory health.

ANTI-AGING

Supports cellular regeneration and may help slow down the aging process by promoting the repair of damaged cells and tissues.

CHRONIC CONDITIONS

Can be helpful for managing conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, asthma, and other chronic health issues by improving oxygenation and reducing symptoms.

IMPROVE SKIN HEALTH

Promotes collagen production, which can improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity, leading to healthier, younger-looking skin.

INCREASE ENERGY & VITALITY

Boosts overall energy levels and helps combat fatigue, making you feel more energized and refreshed

REDUCE INFLAMMATION

Helps reduce inflammation in the body, which can be beneficial for conditions like arthritis, chronic pain, and muscle soreness.

MENTAL CLARITY & FOCUS

Helps clear brain fog and improves cognitive function by enhancing oxygen supply to the brain, promoting better focus and memory.

STRESS MANAGEMENT & ANXIETY RELIEF

May help lower stress levels and anxiety by promoting relaxation and reducing the physical effects of stress.

BOOST IMMUNE FUNCTION

Enhances the body’s ability to fight infections by supporting the immune system and improving the function of white blood cells.

After my surgery, I began mHBOT, and it completely transformed my recovery process. The sessions significantly reduced my swelling and pain, allowing me to heal much faster than I anticipated. Even my doctor was amazed at how quickly my incision site healed and how minimal the scarring turned out to be.

Henry's Law

P/Kh = C

C = kH x P

C: Concentration of the gas in the liquid (solubility).

kH: Henry's Law constant, which depends on the specific gas, the solvent, and the temperature.

P: Partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.

The law states...

At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid

In a hyperbaric chamber...

Pressure is essential for a gas, like oxygen, to dissolve effectively into a liquid, such as blood plasma. In a hyperbaric environment, elevated pressure enables higher levels of oxygen to penetrate deeply into the body’s tissues.

Boyle's Law

C = P x V

C: Constant

P: Pressure

V: Volume

The law states...

When the temperature and quantity of gas remain constant, an increase in pressure results in a decrease in volume, and vice versa.

In a hyperbaric chamber...

As pressure increases, oxygen molecules are compressed into a denser environment. This higher concentration of oxygen in the alveoli (lung membrane) enhances the diffusion of oxygen into the bloodstream, allowing more oxygen to saturate the blood plasma.

Boyle's Law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1: Volume of gas

T1: Temperature of gas

V2: Volume of gas

T2: Temperature of gas

The law states...

The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, provided the pressure and amount of gas remain constant. As the temperature of a gas increases, its volume increases, and as the temperature decreases, its volume decreases.

In a hyperbaric chamber...

Inside a hyperbaric chamber, as pressure increases, the temperature also rises. This temperature increase directly affects the volume of gases, expanding the available oxygen and enhancing its accessibility.

I was skeptical at first, but mHBOT has really made a difference. It’s helped with my focus, and I feel younger and more energized overall. My stress and anxiety are way more manageable now too. The sessions are simple, and I walk out feeling better every time. Definitely worth it!

What A Typical Session Looks Like

A typical Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) session is straightforward, relaxing, and lasts around 60–90 minutes. Here’s what it looks like:

Arrival and Preparation: You'll check in and be guided to the hyperbaric chamber. Wear comfortable clothing or we can provide some for you (no special attire is required). If desired, we will provide optional relaxation items like blankets or pillows.

Entering the Chamber: You’ll step into a soft-sided chamber that’s spacious enough to lay or recline comfortably. The staff will explain the process, ensure you’re comfortable, and seal the chamber.

Pressurization Phase: The chamber gradually pressurizes to 1.3 times the normal atmospheric pressure. You might feel a slight popping in your ears, similar to flying in an airplane.

Breathing Oxygen-Rich Air: During the session, you’ll breathe naturally. The oxygen in the chamber is compressed, allowing it to be absorbed by both your red blood cells and your blood plasma. This helps increase oxygen levels in your bloodstream and tissues. You can relax, take a nap, or even use your phone or laptop during the session.

Decompression Phase: Near the end of the session, the chamber slowly returns to normal atmospheric pressure. You may notice a gentle popping in your ears again.

Post-Session: After the session, you’ll step out of the chamber feeling relaxed and refreshed. There’s no downtime, so you can immediately return to your normal activities.

For optimal results, it's generally recommended to schedule hyperbaric sessions as closely together as possible. After a certain number of sessions, a mandatory rest period is required.
