Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works

On average, an individual consumes about six pounds of oxygen every day, far outweighing any other nutrient demands.

Although oxygen performs many roles in the body, its primary role is in the production of energy. Only 50% of our energy actually comes from fats and carbohydrates in our diet. Our cells must convert this energy in order for our bodies to make this stored energy usable. This happens when our cells convert this stored energy into molecules of ATP using; you guessed it…OXYGEN.

By Using HBOT chambers, we are able to dramatically increase the partial pressure of oxygen, which then dissolves the oxygen into the plasma and other waterborne fluids of the body. This is extremely significant because water and gasses dissolved within it are able to cross the cells semipermeable membrane via osmosis and diffusion. Since the human body is approximately 70% percent water and every cell literally bathes in water, we use the HBOT chamber to deliver oxygen to every tissue in the body – Our bodies then do the rest!
