1. What is Mild Hyperbaric Therapy?
Mild Hyperbaric Therapy (HBT) is a safe method of delivering more oxygen to the body at the cellular level. HBT provides the optimal environment for the body to carry out vital cell processes, thereby increasing the capacity for the body to heal itself. HBT utilizes filtered pressurized ambient air to dissolve oxygen directly into the plasma, cerebral and spinal fluids, flooding tissues and vital organs with oxygen. Mild Hyperbaric Therapy allows for healing at the cellular level, which is critical for changes to be made which in turn affect healthy tissue formation, making it possible for healthier organs and ultimately a healthier body overall.
2. Is it Safe?
YES! The hyperbaric chamber uses filtered ambient air, so there is no risk of oxygen toxicity to the body even with regular use.n The chamber can be depressurized and opened from the inside. Once inside the chamber, both visual and verbal communication is possible with the outside, and there is also a buzzer for help. Most people report a comfortable, relaxing experience and emerge from the chamber feeling refreshed. This therapy is non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, and there are no dangerous side effects.
3. How does it work?
The mild hyperbaric chamber is filled with compressed ambient air from 2 to 4.5 pounds per square inch. (1.3 ATA max) This is the equivalent of 11 feet below sea level. The increased pressure allows the blood plasma and other liquids of the body to absorb additional oxygen thus greatly increasing oxygen uptake by the cells, tissues, glands, organs, brain, and fluids of the body. The resulting uptake of oxygen allows for increased circulation to areas with swelling or inflammation. At the same time, the increased pressure decreases swelling and inflammation. Oxygen is then utilized by the body for vital cell functions, healthier cells equals healthier tissues, and organs. The human body is capable of healing itself when it has what it needs. There is NOTHING the human body needs more than OXYGEN.
