HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY FOR cancer treatment recovery
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a type of treatment that can be used to help with the recovery process after undergoing cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. HBOT involves breathing in high-dose oxygen while inside a chamber that is pressurized to three times normal atmospheric pressure. By doing so, your blood can absorb much more oxygen than it normally would, which then passes through your entire body to provide increased oxygen levels throughout.
The increased level of oxygen helps promote healing by stimulating the growth and repair of damaged tissues, encouraging new blood vessel formation in areas where tissue damage has occurred, and reducing inflammation and edema caused by tumors or other medical treatments. It also enhances the effectiveness of antibiotics and other natural healing agents, allowing for quicker overall recovery times.
Studies have shown that using HBOT for cancer treatment recovery can reduce pain levels, improve sleep quality, increase energy levels and overall wellbeing, reduce nausea or vomiting associated with chemo or radiation therapy, reduce risk of infection from weakened immune systems due to cancer treatments, hasten the healing process of radiation ulcers or other skin damage from treatments, reduce fatigue due to low red blood cell production caused by chemo drugs, boost white blood cell activity to help fight infections, stimulate appetite and digestion which can help patients regain lost weight after treatment, reduce swelling caused by tumors pressing against lymph nodes or other organs in the body.
Overall, HBOT is an effective complementary therapy for those who are recovering from cancer treatments.
