Getting Oxygen Therapy from the Advanced Hyperbaric Healthcare Center

Oxygen is the main component of the air that we breathe. However, the oxygen in the environment is not really pure. But especially here in the city pollutants are now a bad mix that we breathe in. Our air is already laced with so much pollution that it brings sickness more than health. Even the occurrence of allergies and other respiratory ailments (pre-Covid) have increased.

On the other hand, breathing in 100% oxygen under atmospheric pressure like in a hyperbaric chamber brings so many health benefits. In an HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) chamber, the air pressure is increased two to three times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, the lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. When the blood carries this extra oxygen throughout your body, this helps fight bacteria and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing. In order to have it, we have to go to places like the Advanced Hyperbaric Healthcare Center in order to avail of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).
