Hyperbaric oxygen is used to treat all conditions which benefit from increased tissue oxygen availability and infections where oxygen can be used for its antibiotic properties, either as the primary therapy, or in conjunction with other drugs.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves overall health and optimizes the immune system by improving white blood cell function, improving detoxification, decreasing inflammation, and boosting tissue growth and repair. HBOT may be virucidal and bactericidal/bacteriostatic against many bacteria and viruses as well.
