Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
The medical treatment that uses the administration of 100 percent oxygen within a controlled pressure (greater than sea level) for a [prescribed amount of time is called Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (HBOT). Dramatic results can be obtained in difficult cases.
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy help?
The oxygen dissolves more in the liquid part of the blood (plasma) which increases its level 10-20 times more than normal level during the process of HBO. Henceforth, excess oxygen reaches to the parts of the body and to the places where oxygen was not reaching before due to less hemoglobin or inadequate blood supply.
