The skin, our body's largest organ, often gets the short end of the stick when it comes to oxygen allocation. In the body's hierarchy of oxygen distribution, the brain receives the lion's share, around 20-25 per cent, followed by other vital organs. This means that the skin typically receives less oxygen, which can affect its health and healing capabilities. Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBOT) can compensate for this by significantly increasing blood oxygen levels. This offers substantial benefits for skin health, particularly through its anti-inflammatory effects.

Our gut plays a crucial role in keeping our immune system strong.
