Hyperbaric oxygenation involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, significantly increasing the oxygen levels in the body. This heightened oxygenation facilitates cellular respiration, promoting energy production and aiding in the body's natural healing processes. By optimising oxygen availability, hyperbaric oxygenation creates an environment that supports the body's immune system in fighting against autoimmune conditions.
Inflammation is a hallmark feature of autoimmune conditions, contributing to tissue damage and exacerbating symptoms. Hyperbaric oxygenation has been shown to modulate inflammation by influencing various immune pathways. It helps reduce the production of pro-inflammatory molecules while promoting the release of anti-inflammatory substances, leading to a more balanced immune response. By dampening chronic inflammation, hyperbaric oxygenation alleviates symptoms and potentially slows the progression of autoimmune conditions.
Autoimmune conditions often result in tissue damage and impaired healing processes. Hyperbaric oxygenation improves blood flow and enhances oxygen delivery to damaged tissues, promoting tissue repair and regeneration. It stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis, which facilitates the healing of wounds and lesions. By supporting tissue repair mechanisms, hyperbaric oxygenation can help mitigate the long-term consequences of tissue damage associated with autoimmune conditions.
While hyperbaric oxygenation is not a cure for autoimmune conditions, it offers potential benefits by enhancing oxygenation, modulating inflammation, promoting tissue repair, boosting immune function, and supporting psychological wellbeing. The non-invasive and minimal side effects make it an attractive adjunctive treatment option for individuals with autoimmune conditions.
