Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT ) is a treatment that involves breathing almost 100 per cent pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber. Traditionally used for conditions such as carbon monoxide poisoning, non-healing wounds, and decompression sickness, HBOT has gained attention for its potential benefits in various health conditions, including colds and flus.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT ) can offer several potential benefits during the winter months, particularly for those dealing with colds and flu. In winter, the immune system is often compromised by lower temperatures and viral outbreaks, leading to increased inflammation, congestion, and fatigue. HBOT works by increasing oxygen levels in the blood, which can help reduce inflammation, speed up tissue repair, and boost the immune system’s response. This enhanced oxygenation may alleviate symptoms like fatigue, nasal congestion, and body aches, helping individuals recover more quickly from winter illnesses. While not a substitute for standard cold and flu treatments, HBOT could serve as an adjunct therapy to improve overall recovery and well-being during the winter season.
By promoting better oxygenation and immune health, HBOT may help patients feel more energised and recover more quickly from winter illnesses, making it a valuable tool in maintaining overall health and wellbeing during the colder months.
