HBOT stands for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. During HBOT your body is effectively saturated with oxygen, an essential element used by your body for healing. HBOT provides oxygen to cells and tissues that suffer from a lack of oxygen. Tissues suffering from hypoxia are unable to heal themselves as effectively as when they have oxygen. Most cells in areas of swelling or other types of injury are suffering from hypoxia. HBOT also boosts the abilities of the immune system by accelerating the creation of new white blood cells, the sentinel of the bloodstream. Many conditions show improvement when treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. There are now 13 specific conditions that are approved by the FDA for hyperbaric oxygen treatments and many more that are not. All of these treatments listed have cases with documented success stories due in large part to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but further research must be done before FDA approval.
