what is mhbot?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry. And an increase in oxygen may restore normal levels of blood gases and tissue function to promote healing and fight infection.

Under normal circumstances, oxygen is transported throughout the body only by red blood cells. With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, oxygen is dissolved in all of the body’s fluids, the plasma, the central nervous system fluids (brain and spinal fluids), the lymph, and the bone and it can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked. In this way, extra oxygen can reach all of the damaged tissues and the body can support its own healing process. The increased oxygen greatly enhances the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria, reduce swelling and allow new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas. It is a very simple, non-invasive, and painless treatment.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may improve the quality of life in clients in many areas and can be used to enhance standard medical treatments. The benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can include:

  • Reduce Inflammation

  • Increase Stem Cell production

  • Promote Angiogenesis

  • Increase Mental Clarity

  • Strengthen Immune System

  • Heighten Energy and Performance

  • Decrease Bruising

  • Anti - Aging

  • Wellness

A new landmark study in hyperabric medicine (HBOT) shows that breathing air (21% oxygen) at 1.3 ATA of hyperbaric pressure mobilizes stem cells!

Since 2006, it became clear to us that HBOT helps the body to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration by stimulating the release of stem cells in the bone marrow What we did not know is at what pressure level this occurs at. So a team of researchers decided to try and find out and they published their results in this study.

They found that a minimal pressure level of 1.3 ATA caused a significant elevation in stem cells. Moreover, the researches did not add extra oxygen into a breathing apparatus, so the results were purely based upon pressure-alone, no additional oxygen supplementation.

This landmark study clearly demonstrates that pressure-alone can be a contributing factor to some of the remarkable benefits that have been documented with hyperabric oxygen therapy. More importantly, it shows that these potentially-contributing  benefits can be achieved at lower pressures and without the use of supplemental oxygen. <view study>

 
 

mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen therapy under pressure with the entry level of therapeutic pressure being considered 1.3 ATA which is about 4.5psi and equivalent to being about 9-10 feet under water. By scientific laws, Boyle’s Law, we know that the oxygen molecule will shrink under pressure allowing our plasma to carry more oxygen molecules per square inch of plasma. A low pressure session can typically bring around a 300% improvement in blood oxygenation. In fact, in just 10 sessions it has been clinically documented to greatly improve blood flow to the brain! If mHBOT can improve blood flow to the brain in just 10 sessions, imagine what it can do for the rest of the body!

 

Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Benefits

Did you know that doctors in other countries recommend to patients that they do a minimum number of hyperbaric sessions both before and after any surgical procedure? Whether you're about to undergo surgery or you're in the recovery phase, you might want to consider mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) as part of your overall health strategy. mHBOT has been recognized as a valuable tool in the medical world, promoting healing and reducing recovery time after surgery. It's a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment option that many are considering in their journey towards better health.

Pre-Surgical Benefits

mHBOT can be used as a proactive step before surgery to optimize health and create the best possible environment for recovery.

  1. Improved Immune Response: The increased oxygen levels from mHBOT support the immune system's function, making it more resilient against potential infection [2].

  2. Reduced Inflammation: Research indicates that mHBOT can help reduce inflammation. Lowering inflammation pre-surgery may limit the risk of complications during and after the operation [3].

  3. Enhanced Tissue Oxygenation: mHBOT saturates body tissues with oxygen, promoting better overall tissue health. Improved tissue oxygenation can mean a better surgical outcome [4].

Post-Surgical Benefits

The benefits of mHBOT extend to the post-surgery period as well.

  1. Speedier Recovery: One of the key advantages of mHBOT is its ability to promote faster healing. The high oxygenation can accelerate the repair of tissues and blood vessels, reducing recovery time [5].

  2. Reduced Risk of Infection: By enhancing the body's immune response, mHBOT can lower the risk of postoperative infections [2].

  3. Management of Surgical Pain: mHBOT may help manage post-operative pain. By reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing, pain may be better controlled [6].

Research on mHBOT and Surgery

Numerous studies have validated the effectiveness of mHBOT in a surgical context. One such study, published in "American Journal of Surgery," demonstrated that patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy before abdominal surgery showed significantly better outcomes, including a reduced infection rate and improved wound healing [7].

In another study published in the "International Journal of Radiation Oncology," it was found that patients receiving mHBOT after breast reconstruction surgery had a significantly lower rate of tissue necrosis and other complications [8].

While mHBOT is generally considered safe, it's always important to discuss any new treatment with your healthcare provider, especially in the context of pre- and post-operative care. mHBOT may not be suitable for everyone, and it's crucial that all aspects of your health are considered before starting therapy.

In conclusion, whether you're preparing for a surgery or recovering from one, mHBOT could be a valuable addition to your healthcare regime. With its capacity to enhance your immune response, speed up recovery, and reduce the risk of complications, it's an option worth exploring.

How mHBOT Helps You

Mild hyperbaric chambers raise the air pressure inside of them to 1.3 or 1.5 times the air pressure outside of them. This is equivalent to 9 to 15ft under water. That pressure pushes more oxygen into your blood, into your plasma and into your lunges. Now you have a lot more oxygen to be distributed throughout your body. This can help saturate damaged tissues with oxygen and potentially aid in the healing process and increasing blood flow to the brain. mHBOT has been shown to help revitalize your whole body as essential oxygen makes its way throughout and will help repair tissue, cleanse harmful microbes and stimulate the bodies ability to fight off infection.

When you are not in the hyperbaric environment, the tissues that are injured are hypoxic (lacking normal levels of oxygen). When you are in the hyperbaric environment it creates a change in tissue oxygen tension, this large change in tissue oxygen tensions promotes the growth of new blood vessels into these hypoxic tissues, called neovascularization.

Hyperbaric treatment can:
Aid the body in stimulating health reactions
Reduce Healing Time for Injured Tissues
Stimulate Release of healing factors
Reduce the Body’s Inflammatory Response
Improve Quality of Life in Clients
And……There is No Downtime after mHBOT chamber sessions

From professional and semi-professional athletes, weekend warriors, to everyday people in every walk of life. Anyone can benefit from improved recovery time, better oxygenation and circulation of blood, and a wealth of other benefits all contributed to low pressure oxygen therapy.

mHBOT can help your system to detoxify, reduce inflammation, increase collagen and repair factor production, and improve circulation. Whether you’re living with an existing condition, looking to heal faster, or searching for the preventative health benefits of oxygen; mHBOT can help you achieve your goals.
