HbOT for Parkinson’s disease is a therapeutic approach which been shown in studies to be a successful option for those suffering from this debilitating condition.

HbOT for Parkinson’s Disease – What is it?

HbOT is a therapy which is used to treat a range of illnesses, including decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and chronic wounds that do not heal.

HbOT is a procedure in which people breathe pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber.

The therapy boosts the quantity of oxygen provided to the body’s tissues, which can:

  • Enhance healing
  • Decrease inflammation
  • Encourage the creation of new blood vessels in the brain

Please Note: It’s important to keep in mind that HbOT for Parkinson’s disease should be used in conjunction with other therapies suggested by your doctor. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy complements conventional treatments. We do not recommend it as a replacement.
