Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Because oxygen is fuel for every cell in your body — and most of us aren’t getting enough of it where it matters most.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) gently increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry by placing you in a pressurized chamber where you breathe nearly 100% pure oxygen. This allows oxygen to dissolve deeper into your tissues, cells, and plasma — places it normally can’t reach under everyday conditions.
More oxygen means faster healing, reduced inflammation, and improved cellular energy. It helps the body recover from injury, stress, and fatigue while supporting brain health, circulation, and immune function.
Regular HBOT sessions can:
- Accelerate recovery from workouts, surgery, or injury
- Reduce inflammation and swelling throughout the body
- Enhance focus, energy, and sleep quality
- Support healthy aging and cellular repair
In short: HBOT gives your body the oxygen advantage — helping you function better, recover faster, and feel stronger from the inside out.
HBOT
What is a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber?
A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed, pressurized environment designed to safely increase the amount of oxygen your body absorbs. While inside, you breathe nearly 100% pure oxygen at a pressure slightly higher than normal atmospheric levels—allowing oxygen to dissolve deeper into your bloodstream, tissues, and cells than it can during everyday breathing.
At Nearing Total Health, we use a mild hyperbaric oxygen chamber (mHBOT)—a comfortable, soft-sided system made of medical-grade materials. The chamber gently inflates to about 1.3 ATA (atmospheres of pressure) while you rest inside on a cushioned surface. You can bring a book, listen to music, or simply relax as your body receives a powerful boost of oxygen.
This mild, therapeutic pressure helps support:
- Faster recovery from workouts, injuries, and inflammation
- Improved circulation and oxygen delivery throughout the body
- Enhanced focus, energy, and cellular repair
Unlike hospital-grade chambers used for acute emergencies, mild hyperbaric chambers are designed for safe, repeatable wellness treatments—ideal for supporting long-term healing, recovery, and vitality.
It’s like giving your cells a deep breath of life.
HOW HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY WORKS
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) works by delivering 100% oxygen in a gently pressurized chamber, allowing your body to absorb far more oxygen than it can under normal conditions. This increase in oxygen levels drives a series of powerful, science-backed effects inside the body that support healing, recovery, and long-term wellness.
1. Deep Oxygen Saturation
Under mild pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into your plasma, tissues, and lymph fluid—not just your red blood cells. This means oxygen can reach areas with poor circulation or inflammation, helping cells get the fuel they need to repair, regenerate, and function optimally. This improved oxygenation enhances cellular energy production (ATP) and overall tissue metabolism.

2. Cellular Repair and Inflammation Control
The influx of oxygen activates the body’s natural healing pathways. It increases production of growth factors and stem cells, while also modulating the immune response to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Studies show HBOT can trigger the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stimulate angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels—which helps restore blood flow to damaged tissues.

3. Improved Mitochondrial Function
Mitochondria—the “power plants” of your cells—rely on oxygen to create energy. By saturating tissues with more oxygen, HBOT boosts mitochondrial performance and activates protective genes like PGC-1α and Nrf2, which help your body manage oxidative stress and maintain cellular health over time.

4. Enhanced Healing & Longevity
Because every healing process in the body depends on oxygen, HBOT supports faster recovery from injuries, surgeries, inflammation, and fatigue—while improving brain function, metabolism, and overall vitality. By improving microcirculation and reducing oxidative damage, it may also support healthy aging and longevity.
