Breathing easier – sleep apnoea relief with HBOT

Thu, Jan 25, 2024

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT) emerges as a promising avenue for those grappling with sleep apnoea, offering a non-invasive and safe solution with notable benefits. A 2013 scientific study underscored the transformative effects of HBOT on obstructive sleep apnoea, revealing a remarkable reduction in severity, enhanced sleep quality, and decreased daytime drowsiness.

The key to HBOT's effectiveness lies in its ability to address the underlying issues associated with sleep apnoea. By increasing atmospheric pressure, this treatment enables a higher concentration of oxygen to dissolve into the plasma, compensating for lower oxygen levels delivered during apnoeic episodes. This, in turn, facilitates improved oxygenation throughout the body, promoting better sleep patterns.
