What is the term "Hyperbaric" mean?
Hyper - referred to as "more",
Baric - related to "pressure".
Thus, Hyperbaric
Mean - More Pressure.
What is Hyperbaric oxygen Therapy? Intermittent application
of oxygen at a higher pressure than atmospheric pressure in an enclosed
chamber is termed as "Hyperbaric oxygen Therapy"
How Hyperbaric Oxygen is administered? Oxygen as a medium of gas and
an enclosed chamber as a tool to deliver oxygen at greater
pressures.
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy works ? Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
forces oxygen into the body fluids under pressure. Oxygen then
enters into the body’s fluids greatly increasing the oxygen
levels in all the body fluids.Oxygen reaches to all the cells in the
body that could not be reached.
The extra oxygen throughout the body enhances the body’s natural
healing process.
Let us get a bit more technical:
Oxygen
is a colorless, odorless gas that makes up about 21% of the atmosphere. It is
essential for life for two main reasons:
1.
Oxygen is one of the body’s basic building blocks. All of the body’s major
components – water, protein, carbohydrate, and fat – contain oxygen.
2. Oxygen helps promote certain chemical reactions within the
body that result in energy production. Energy is needed for proper circulation,
respiration, digestion, temperature control, and many other important
functions.
Nature has proven that healing cannot take place without
appropriate oxygen levels in the body’s tissues. Many serious health problems
stem from or are complicated by tissues having low oxygen levels. In many cases
adequate oxygen cannot reach the damaged areas. Without adequate oxygen in the
tissues, the body’s natural healing process fails to function properly, and we
begin to see damaged tissues, decreased tissue function, slow healing, dry
& sagging skin, aging, fatigue, wrinkles, and a
variety of other symptoms.
Oxygen given under normal atmospheric pressure is not enough to
raise tissue oxygen levels to reverse this lack of oxygen because red blood
cells cannot carry and release enough extra oxygen. In order to overcome the
oxygen starvation and raise tissue oxygen levels high enough for optimal
healing to occur, the oxygen must be delivered under slightly increased
atmospheric pressure.
Blood is made up of three main components: White blood cells
that help fight infection; red blood cells that carry oxygen; and plasma, which
is the fluid that carries both kinds of cells throughout the body.
Normally, only the red blood cells deliver oxygen, via a protein
called hemoglobin, to the body’s tissues and cells. A healthy person’s
hemoglobin is 97% saturated with oxygen when exposed in our lungs to normal
air, or 100% saturated when breathing pure oxygen. Whether breathing air or
pure oxygen, the limited number of red blood cells can only deliver a certain
level of oxygen to the body’s tissues.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a 300 year old medical
treatment that consists of administering 100% oxygen at greater than
atmospheric (sea level) pressure in order to improve and correct certain
medical conditions. The underlying principle of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is
quite simple: HBOT saturates the body and its tissues with oxygen so they can
function properly.
When HBOT is used, you are breathing 10 times the regular amount
of oxygen under increased pressure. These increased oxygen molecules are not
only dissolved in the red blood cells, but also forced into the blood plasma,
which makes up the bulk of the blood. This allows oxygen to be delivered to
every parts of tissues and cells that that may be deprived of oxygen.
In short, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) works by saturating a
person’s blood and plasma with oxygen resulting in increased oxygen delivery to
tissues. In fact, because HBOT forces oxygen into the body under pressure,
oxygen dissolves into all of the body’s fluids including the blood plasma, the
lymph, and the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. All
of these fluids carry the extra oxygen to the tissues and cells of the body,
even where circulation is poor or blocked.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Has Three Phases:
1) Compression: After the doors are
closed, you can hear the compressing gas circulate.
2) Treatment: Treatment begin
when pressure reaches the prescribed level. During the treatment you may rest,
sleep, meditate or read a book.
3) Decompression: The attendant lets
you know when the treatment is complete. The pressure then is slowly lowered at
the rate which is comfortable.
Using HBOT to increase the oxygen level in body tissues produces
several long-term therapeutic effects and facilitates healing through a number
of mechanisms, such as:
•
Growth of new blood vessels and capillaries to increase blood flow
•
Relief of oxygen starvation (hypoxia)
•
Enhancement of the immune system
•
Reduction of free radicals that may continue to cause tissue damage
•
Constriction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction) to decrease swelling &
edema
•
Protection of the integrity of cell membranes so they can function properly
•
Stimulation of fibroblasts (cells involved in wound/tissue healing)
•
Increasing collagen synthesis
•
Increasing ability of white blood cells to destroy bacteria and remove toxins
•
Decreasing the number of viruses in the blood
•
Detoxification
How many of you know: What Anaerobic bacteria, toxins, viruses, parasites,
and fungi have one thing in common? "None of the above can survive in
an oxygen rich environment in your body"
Hyperbaric medicine is well accepted in medical centers around
the world as adjunctive therapy to treatment of infections, inflammation
and large scale of acute and chronic conditions where lack of oxygen and
blood supply are the main problem.
Healthy living
delays many of the body changes that aging brings. And it is never too late to
begin your journey on the road to better health. If you are interested in
your appearance, staying younger & healthy and keeping your mind and body
refreshed and rejuvenated consider Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
