Hyperbaric Oxygen Breathing Life Into Patients

The hyperbaric chamber is being used as a common treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions.

What appears to be a vessel from a science fiction movie could be the key to longevity. Hyperbaric chamber treatment is becoming more popular in hospitals and is being seen as a legitimate form of treating illness. Medical science may just have discovered the fabled fountain of youth.

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers have previously been used to treat divers who suffered from decompression illness or “the Bends”. About 20 years ago, medical science discovered the healing properties of hyperbaric oxygen chambers. Many are used to treat severe muscle, bone, and tissue damage as well as carbon monoxide poisoning. The treatment has also been known to help with migraines, anti-aging, and cerebral palsy. A study also showed that hyperbaric oxygen treatment increased brain activity in children with autism.

Treatments allow patients to breathe 100% pure oxygen within the hyperbaric oxygen chamber as opposed to the roughly 21% pure oxygen received in the atmosphere. The increased oxygen concentration allows the most abundant element in the human body to enter the blood stream in a higher concentration. Hyperbaric oxygen treatments have been shown to rejuvenate cells and in some instances bring dead tissue back to life.

Experts are noticing the undeniable benefits of hyperbaric oxygen chambers. The treatment has gained esteem within the medical community and many hospitals have been offering this treatment to patients. Some medical insurance companies will cover a limited number of hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments for medically verified illnesses. 

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers are surging in popularity and are available for home usage. Some companies offer smaller versions of the futuristic fountains of youth for rent or purchase. Hyperbaric oxygen chambers are becoming more common in homes of children with autism as well as people suffering from cancer.

Replenishing the body of its most abundant resource has reported undeniable positive results in mood and overall vitality. The idea is finally gaining the popularity and esteem as an alternative form of medicine that it deserves.
