What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

HBOT Chamber

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% pure medical oxygen while relaxing in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber (above 1.4 ATA). The increase in pressure, ranging from 1.5 to nearly 3 times normal atmospheric pressure, will allow up to 20 times more oxygen to be dissolved in the red blood cells, blood plasma, lymphatic fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid.
