How pure, pressurized oxygen can be medicine - the risks and health benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? The use of pressurized oxygen for health complaints is called hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This holistic wellbeing approach to healing involves breathing pure oxygen while in a pressurized chamber, allowing 100% oxygen to infuse the bloodstream.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is approved as a medical therapy in cases of severe burns, and does often dramatically help the healing process in such cases.

This potent oxygen therapy, called HBOT for short, been around for centuries in one form or another and is far more widely used in some other countries than the United States.

Currently, the U.S. does approve HBOT for certain situations, including cyanide and carbon monoxide poisoning, intracranial abcesses, wounds that won't heal otherwise or where there is necrotization of the tissues, etc.

Beyond the currently approved uses, it is believed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy could help a host of other conditions. Medicare seems to recognize the sign of the times because they have approved it's use for lyme disease, migraine headaches and strokes.
