Hyperbaric oxygenation: a breath of fresh air for skin health

Thu, Oct 26, 2023

Many individuals seek hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT) primarily to address specific medical conditions, such as chronic wounds or radiation injuries. However, a significant and often welcome bonus of HBOT is the notable improvement in skin health.

As people undergo HBOT sessions, the elevated oxygen levels benefit not only the targeted medical conditions but also their overall skin health. Consequently, people frequently observe rejuvenated and healthier skin, often experiencing smoother texture, increased elasticity, and a radiant complexion. This serendipitous enhancement in skin health underscores the multifaceted advantages of HBOT, making it a holistic approach to medical care that goes beyond the primary condition it's intended to treat.

The changing face of Kingshill

Thu, Oct 19, 2023

Our first photograph today (courtesy of the National Library) is a bird’s eye view that was taken in 1953 and shows the Warwick Hotel at the top of the picture. Next to it on the right was the entrance to Lenaboy Park, and beyond that you can see part of Queeney’s shop. Next door was Doorley’s private house and then Mrs Turke’s B&B called Osterley Lodge. Opposite, on the far side of the road was Billy Binn’s house and on the corner, as you can see, was a field with a lot of trees, much used as a playground by local children. This whole area was very prone to flooding and was occasionally rendered impassable, as was the case with Hurricane Debbie.
