What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy is a painless, natural therapy in which ±93% oxygen is inhaled while lying in a pressurized chamber. HBOT increases oxygen concentrations in the plasma and lymphatic system, up to ten times the normal amount! This simple treatment has been shown to help countless people, from toddlers with autism to seniors with dementia. While receiving HBOT, the body and cells become oxygen-saturated, leading to increased cell function, healing and repair, and anti-aging effects.

You don’t have to have health problems to incorporate Hyperbaric Oxygen into your health regimen.  Some people use this inexpensive type of healing modality to enhance the good health they already have, in order to attain even higher and more optimal levels of health.
