Insights on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a significant tool for various health conditions, especially in promoting brain function, combating infections, and reducing inflammation. Research has demonstrated that combining HBOT with biologic immunosuppressive drugs can significantly enhance their efficacy, particularly for conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease. The therapy can deliver oxygen to areas of the body that typically receive minimal circulation, thereby benefiting tissues that are deficient in oxygen. Studies also reveal a substantial increase in the production of anti-inflammatory genes while reducing those linked to inflammation after multiple HBOT sessions.
