IMMUNITY & HYPERBARICS
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) supports immunity by increasing oxygen levels in the blood, which enhances white blood cell function, boosts the body's ability to fight infections, and promotes tissue healing.
IMMUNITY & HYPERBARICS
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) supports immunity by increasing oxygen levels in the blood, which enhances white blood cell function, boosts the body's ability to fight infections, and promotes tissue healing.
HBOT encourages the body's oxygen radical scavengers to seek out the problem molecules and let healing continue. HBOT helps block the action of harmful bacteria and strengthens the body's immune system. HBOT can disable the toxins of certain bacteria. It also increases oxygen concentration in the tissues.
Here's a more detailed explanation of how HBOT helps with immunity:
HOW HBOT CAN HELP
Increased Oxygen Levels
HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing the blood to carry significantly more oxygen than normal.
Enhanced White Blood Cell Function
White blood cells are crucial for fighting infections, and increased oxygen levels can enhance their activity and ability to target and destroy pathogens.
Stimulating White Blood Cell Production
HBOT can stimulate the production of white blood cells, further bolstering the immune system's ability to fight infections and diseases.
Promoting Tissue Healing
HBOT can improve tissue healing and regeneration by enhancing oxygen delivery to affected areas, which is essential for the body's natural defense mechanisms.
Anti-inflammatory Effects
HBOT can help reduce inflammation, which can impair the immune system's ability to function effectively.
Antimicrobial Effects
Some studies suggest that HBOT may have antimicrobial effects, further aiding in the body's ability to fight off infections.
Immunomodulatory Effects
HBOT can help regulate and balance the immune response, which can be beneficial in autoimmune conditions.
