Hyperbaric Oxygenation: boosting immunity against recurring bacterial infections

Thu, Aug 24, 2023

Recurring bacterial infections can significantly impact one's quality of life, leading to discomfort, weakened immunity, and a constant battle against persistent health issues. However, a promising solution has emerged in the form of hyperbaric oxygenation. This non-invasive treatment involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised environment, which offers a range of benefits for both the immune system and overall well-being.

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT) is known to bolster the immune system's defences against bacterial infections.
