"Hyper" means an increase in the quantity or quality of
something; "baric" means pressure. Combined with "oxygen," these two terms add up to one of the most exciting
new developments in medicine: hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Using pure oxygen under increased pressure, the body's
natural ability to heal from traumas, diseases and other afflictions is enhanced - and in many cases, is accelerated.
OXYGEN, The Basis of Life Human beings can survive without food for weeks,
and without water for days - but only minutes without oxygen. Oxygen is the basis of life. Used appropriately, it can mean
the difference between life and death, coma and mental alertness, paralysis and movement, illness and health.
It
has long been understood that healing cannot be achieved without sufficient oxygen levels in the tissues, where most illnesses
and injuries occur and often linger. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can provide this oxygen, naturally and virtually risk free.
