Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a gentle and effective treatment that enhances oxygen levels in the blood, leading to increased oxygen delivery to your body’s tissues and vital organs. This process stimulates healing, boosts stamina, endurance and promotes a sense of relaxation and overall well – being.

What is a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber?
Oxygen is crucial for the body’s functions and deficiencies can disrupt its balance. Mild hyperbaric oxygen chambers are specially designed enclosures that are pressurized to create an environment with higher atmospheric pressure than normal. This increased pressure makes the air denser allowing for more oxygen molecules per unit. While normal oxygen intake primarily affects red blood cells, high-pressure oxygen therapy also delivers oxygen directly into the blood plasma, the liquid part of the blood. This enhanced oxygenation can help combat harmful bacteria, parasites, toxins, and viruses, which thrive in low-oxygen environments.
What to Expect During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy takes place inside an inflatable chamber. As the chamber inflates, you may experience a pressure sensation in your ears, similar to the feeling when a plane ascends or descends. You will need to equalize this pressure, after which the sensation will subside, allowing you to relax and enjoy your session. Inside the chamber, you can wear loose, comfortable clothing and choose to sleep, meditate, read, use your laptop, or listen to music. After your treatment, you can resume your daily activities, including eating and drinking, without any restrictions.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Safe?
Yes, mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy is very safe. The chamber uses filtered ambient air, eliminating the risk of oxygen toxicity even with regular use. The chamber can be depressurized and opened from the inside if needed, and both verbal and visual communication with our staff is possible throughout your session. For any concerns or needs, you can also contact our team via your mobile phone at any time.
