HBOT Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment involving breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The increased atmospheric pressure allows the body to absorb more oxygen than it normally can, promoting healing for various conditions such as carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, and severe infections. HBOT enhances the production of new blood vessels and stimulates the release of growth factors and stem cells, aiding tissue repair.
