At Revital Health, we’re committed to pioneering health optimisation through innovative therapies. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a key component of our holistic treatment approach. This blog delves into the science of HBOT, its myriad health benefits, and the significance of different atmospheric pressures for an in-depth understanding.
Understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised room or chamber. It’s a well-established treatment method that significantly increases oxygen concentration in all body tissues, even with reduced or blocked blood flow.
The Science Behind HBOT
– Oxygen Saturation: Under increased pressure, typically referred to in terms of ‘atmospheres absolute’ (ATA), oxygen dissolves more readily into the bloodstream, promoting healing and recovery.
– Angiogenesis: Enhanced oxygen levels promote the formation of new blood vessels, improving circulation and vitality.
– Anti-inflammatory Effect: HBOT reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, beneficial in treating various chronic conditions.
Benefits at Different ATA Pressures
Revital houses a 1.4 ATA chamber and have a brand new hard shell 1.5 – 2 ATA arriving in March 2024.
– 1.3-1.5 ATA: Often used for wellness and cognitive enhancement. It’s reported to improve overall vitality and brain function.
– 1.6-2.5 ATA: Commonly used in medical settings for conditions like diabetic foot ulcers, radiation injury, and severe infections. There are many other benefits. Higher pressure allows for greater oxygen saturation and therapeutic benefits.
Health Benefits of HBOT
1. Enhanced Healing: Accelerates recovery from wounds and injuries by increasing oxygen delivery to damaged tissues.
2. Neurological Support: Aids in the recovery of brain injuries and neurological conditions through neurogenesis and reduced inflammation.
3. Athletic Performance:Helps athletes recover faster and perform better due to enhanced oxygen delivery and reduced muscle fatigue.
4. Infection Control: Elevated oxygen levels can help inhibit bacterial and fungal growth, aiding in the treatment of infections.
5. Mental Well-being: May alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety by reducing brain inflammation and promoting balance.
