A good analogy is a can of fizzy drink. The can is a pressurised vessel, in the can there is liquid, then a gas is added. According to Henry’s Law, gas under pressure will dissolve into the liquid. Hence the “fizzy” in the drink. In the Hyperbaric Chamber, as the pressure goes up, more oxygen is absorbed into the fluids of the body to boost oxygen levels. Supplementary oxygen is added to the chamber via the use of an oxygen concentrator. This oxygen becomes infused into all the body’s fluids, blood, plasma and cerebral fluids just from breathing the air in the chamber. Red blood cells become saturated with oxygen and all remaining oxygen dissolves directly into other body fluids and tissue.

At this point, the body’s healing process accelerates.

Once a person is in the increased atmospheric pressure, the body’s natural healing mechanisms can now function efficiently because the damaged tissues are receiving more oxygen. In this way, the therapy can help with improving the energy levels, tissue regeneration, reducing inflammation and pain, improving and enhancing immune functioning; or in all protecting the body from chronic health conditions.
