Increase brain health with hyperbaric oxygenation

Thu, Apr 25, 2024

Brain injuries, regardless of their perceived severity, can initiate a chain of cognitive challenges that endure over time. Studies highlight that repeated head trauma can instigate neurodegeneration, wherein the brain's essential functions gradually deteriorate. This not only compromises immediate cognitive abilities but also escalates the risk of developing debilitating neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Consequently, finding effective interventions to counteract these persistent effects becomes imperative.

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT) is extremely beneficial in this realm. Breathing almost 100 per cent oxygen in a pressurised environment creates a hyper-oxygenated atmosphere where oxygen dissolves into the bloodstream at heightened concentrations. This process aids in the repair and regeneration of damaged brain tissue, crucial for mitigating the effects of brain injuries.
