Boost Immunity

The immune system is an incredibly complex network of cells, collectively called white blood cells (WBCs), that protect the body from foreign substances.

We cannot live without them. The immune system is found throughout the body: in the skin, lymph nodes, blood, tissues, and gastrointestinal system.

When this system is weak, the body becomes increasingly susceptible to damage from pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites.

Keeping your immune system strong is vital to lowering your risk of infection from something as common as a cold, a cut, or something bad you ate, to life-threatening viruses like Ebola and COVID-19.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) strengthens both the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system.

By doing so, the body is better prepared to eliminate pathogens before they can cause serious damage.

HBOT improves the immune system through two main mechanisms. Firstly, HBOT increases the activity and efficacy of white blood cells.

White Blood Cells are directly responsible for eliminating pathogens, so enhancing WBC activation results in a more effective immune response.

Secondly, HBOT floods tissues with oxygen, creating an environment in which harmful anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that live in low/no oxygen) cannot survive.

Together, these mechanisms make HBOT an effective therapy for strengthening the immune system and decreasing risk of infection and pathogen-driven disease.
