Conditions for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a well-established medical treatment that has been found to help effectively treat many medical conditions. HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which increases the amount of oxygen in the blood and tissues.
