WHAT IS MILD HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing concentrated oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Because of the increased pressure, oxygen loads not only the red blood cells but the plasma as well, allowing the increased oxygen to deeply penetrate the body’s tissues. This boosts cell growth by delivering increased amounts of oxygen to blood, tissues, and organs.

Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Help with Long COVID?

What’s It Like Inside A Hyperbaric Chamber?

What Are The Side-Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
