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.

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.
