Utility of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to Decelerate The Aging Process

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be considered as the addition of another feather to the cap of the latest medical wonders. Apart from its wide ranging application to tackle virtually all types of health problems, it is found to exercise an extremely beneficial effect on human health in general. But the breakthrough in this treatment procedure came when it was discovered to have the potential to slow down the pace of our aging process.

From the beginning of the history of human race, an undying desire of human to stay forever young has featured strongly on the wish list of human beings. History bears witness to the fact that many monarchs of the ancient world have tried various means and herbal remedies to achieve unlimited youth and immortality. Many explorers have undertaken arduous journey to discover the fountain of eternal youth, but all in vain. But Hyperbaric therapy can be considered to be a partial answer to the human craving for eternal and everlasting youth. Medical researchers have recently discovered that the maintenance of perfect health of our body cells are key to decelerate the aging process and to achieve this end, hyperbaric therapy can render us valuable service.

This innovative treatment procedure is based on the principle of only one medicament- that of providing pure, unadulterated oxygen that is breathed at a pressure that is considerably higher than normal environmental pressure, facilitated by special equipment called hyperbaric chambers. It has been found that the source of all our diseases lies in the state of lack of oxygen- hypoxia( when oxygen pressure in cells is reduced) and anoxia( when cells is deprived of the oxygen supply). Hyperbaric therapy stops the suffering of cells, organism and tissues by delivering them a fresh and pure supply of oxygen and helps them to convalesce from such ailments.

The world we live in now has become too polluted to lead a healthy life- the food eaten by us, the air we inhale, the environment that surrounds us- all these factors lead our having degenerative diseases which accelerates the aging process. But medical studies show that all the signs of aging- loosening of skin, higher blood pressure, heart ailment, cholesterol- can be prevented. The aging process of our body gains momentum due to the lack of supply of sufficient oxygen. Contaminated food that we eat leads to the accumulation of toxic waste in our body. When this food starts to dissolve in the body, the residues tend to disturb the pH balance. This unbalanced pH level can give birth to multiple health problems like

low level of energy, weight gain, early aging etc. This therapy can keep these problems at bay by controlling the residues and buffering the pH level, that in turn helps to remove and repair the damaged cells and tissues.

Hyperbaric therapy has been implemented successfully in various beauty and anti-aging treatment like wrinkle reduction, detox, skin toning, and rejuvenation, along with strengthening the immune system. Besides this, various skin issues like psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, fat grafts etc can also be taken care of, while providing accelerated collagenation, quick recovery after surgery, increased growth of hair follicle, increased absorption of nutrients, better digestive system and many other better health conditions. HBOT also reduces the chromosome mutation rate, retard the aging process and exhibits anti-stress effects. If the toxins are not removed, then it might act as an impediment to the food and oxygen supply to the cells and hence stun their growth and proper functioning. This therapy shows only good effect on the health of skin by providing proper nourishment and slowing up the process of aging. Our present day lifestyle requires a little more that bare essentials, so try to reap the best benefits from this treatment for your skin too.
