Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help the body heal itself. It curbs infection by providing an oxygen-rich environment that is hostile to anaerobic bacteria, which thrive in the absence of oxygen. It promotes the growth of new capillaries and blood vessels to areas with poor circulation and boost collagen formation. It also mobilizes stem cells. Stem cells have the unique ability to transform into a variety of cell types. Although you usually hear about embryonic stem cells and the like, we all harbor stem cells in our own bodies, primarily in our bone marrow. These stem cells can be called into action to repair organs and tissues. Studies show that after just one HBOT treatment, concentrations of circulating stem cells doubled and after a full course, there was an eight-fold increase in
