Isn’t it incredible what people can come up with? Apparently the first Hyperbaric Chamber was built in 1662 already… Where has it been all my life?

There are so many exciting treatments these days to help our bodies function optimally. The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber is no exception. Diving into the oxygen chamber headfirst might not always feel so graceful, but I’ll dive right back in again. The large vacuum seals you in from the outside world and for an hour your body is exposed to air pressure that is three times higher than normal air pressure. It’s probably not the best idea for someone who suffers from Closter phobia, but it sure has its benefits. The conditions inside the oxygen chamber allow your lungs to gather more oxygen, which helps fight bacteria and stimulates the release of growth factors and stem cells, evidently promoting healing.

What was initially developed to treat military divers for DCI (decompression sickness) has become a valuable tool in treating other illnesses too. These include air or gas embolisms, anemia due to severe blood loss, osteomyelitis (a bone marrow infection) and more. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber patients also claim to have less headaches, reduced depression and they claim to be less irritable. They sleep better and have improved cognition, mood and memory.
