Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is the infusion of the body with pure oxygen (nearly 100%). Individuals are placed in a specially designed chamber at pressures higher than atmospheric pressure, and during a session, the patient breathes pure oxygen. Higher pressures assist in increased oxygen absorption. This process aids in recovery from both physical and non-physical trauma dealt to the human body. Oxygen plays a vital role in bodily functions and processes and assists in overall health and vitality, as well as the overall maintenance of healthy lifestyles and longevity.
