How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can change our perception of health.
Oxygen is the essence of life. But pure oxygen has immense potential in preventive wellness. The Earth's atmospheric percentage of oxygen is 21 per cent, which is ideal. But in most cities where there is a high level of pollution, it is only 18 per cent. The body does not get enough oxygen for premium needs like staying healthy and wound healing but uses it for routine requirements.
What is it?
The increased level of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere means that the oxygen that we breathe in is not pure enough. This means slower healing and a general degradation in the quality of health; thus the preventive capacities of the body automatically takes a backseat. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps overall wellness by providing pure oxygen through a simple process.
The portable Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber allows one to breathe pure oxygen at high pressure for a prescribed amount of time. One can read a book or even listen to music while inhaling oxygen at its purest.
However, this requires a detailed examination and a prescription by a wellness physician and has to be done by a qualified therapist. Coupled with lifestyle changes, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy offers a holistic solution to accomplish your wellness goals.
Speedy recovery
Athletes and other sportspeople find this immensely beneficial as it improves overall physical condition and expedites injury healing process. This means better performance and higher levels of fitness. Post-surgery, this therapy helps faster healing of wounds and hastens the recovery process. Oxygen plays a vital role in rejuvenating the skin and hair for a gorgeous effect. Another application is the reversal of pre-mature aging.
Including oxygen therapy in smoking de-addiction programmes along with other methods has been found to reverse the damage caused to the body. With a 30 per cent higher pressure, the tissue penetration of oxygen is higher and improves the flushing out of toxins from the lung.
With detox programmes becoming an integral part of wellness routine, the inclusion of hyperbaric oxygen therapy aids the body in its preventive functions. This means that the advent of lifestyle diseases like diabetes, cholesterol and cardiac problems can be delayed and best prevented, with a mix of a sensible, especially customised diet, regular workouts and other alternative routes to wellness.
