Description
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy delivers close to 100% pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber to increase cellular oxygen levels in your body. This is a significant increase in comparison to the 21% in the normal atmosphere. This works to up-regulate the healing and repair of cells. Cellular Oxygen levels can increase by up to 1200%.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy works to drive extra oxygen into the plasma, lymph, and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This increase in oxygen to damaged cells and tissues throughout the body reduces inflammation, up-regulates genes and mobilises stem cells.
Why would I need Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Our bodies require energy every day in order to carry out our daily activities as well as for growth, healing and repair. Essentially this energy is fundamentally drawn from the oxygen we breathe and the nutrients we intake, this is then at a cellular level transformed into adenosine triphosphate.
Given the modern lifestyle which can be intense and stressful and not providing a nourishing environment for our bodies to maintain a healthy balance. Many of us live in large cities, where at best we could be breathing oxygen at a mere ~21%.
During this state, our bodies are significantly more prone to inflammation, and cannot focus on growth, healing, and optimal functionality. This is how over time, chronic diseases can build up and begin to affect our vital cells and tissue function..
