Breathing concentrated oxygen while under pressure allows for accelerated healing and suppression of inflammation. Treatment sessions of HBOT are often referred to as “dives” because of the use of HBOT to help scuba divers recover from pressure change related illness, but now HBOT is being used to help athletes muscles heal faster, plastic surgeons to decrease the size of scar formation on their surgical patients, and for people of all ages to improve their brain health.
Normally, oxygen has to attach to your red blood cells to travel through your body and fuel healing, but by applying pressure the oxygen can “dissolve” into the liquid portions of your blood to better permeate the regions of your brain and body that need better circulation and faster healing.
