HBO (Hyperbaric Oxygen) Treatment

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or chamber. This increased pressure allows more oxygen to dissolve in the blood, enhancing healing and fighting infections. It is used for various medical conditions, such as decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and chronic wounds. By delivering oxygen at higher levels, HBOT promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the body's natural healing processes. The treatment typically lasts 60 to 120 minutes and is supervised by medical professionals. While generally safe, it’s essential to follow medical guidelines to minimize risks.
