Understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves increasing atmospheric pressure and inspired oxygen levels to enhance oxygen delivery to tissues. This method, often used in hospitals, can significantly improve healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the release of stem cells. The therapy works on the principle that higher pressure allows more oxygen to dissolve in the bloodstream, thus providing immediate benefits in cases of acute conditions such as strokes or infections. Long-term effects include enhanced tissue regeneration and new blood vessel formation due to epigenetic changes induced by increased oxygen availability.
