Hyperbaric chamber benefits

*ATTENTION: As of November 1, 2019. Health Canada prohibits the sale and rental of hyperbaric chambers. Many of our articles were written before the Health Canada notice. Please take it into consideration 😉

Many people wonder how a hyperbaric chamber works and, above all, what a hyperbaric chamber does to the body. In other words, what benefits do hyperbaric chamber sessions bring to their body?.

Although the science behind hyperbarics is complex and time-consuming to explain, we can sum it up in 3 simple points.

1- Hyperbarics saturate all body fluids with oxygen. And since our bodies are said to be mostly composed of water, we're in for a treat!  We're talking about blood plasma, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid and microbiota (the digestive system). As a result, the body is hyper-oxygenated on all sides as never before. What's more, the immune system is reinvigorated, which is enormously helpful for people weakened by all kinds of illnesses and treatments such as chemotherapy.

In a way, we feed our entire body. You know that if we stop eating, we can survive for several days. If we stop drinking, barely a day, and if we stop breathing, I don't give you more than a few minutes before you die. 

2- A kind of anti-inflammatory effect takes place throughout the body. Many infections, ailments, illnesses and pain have one thing in common: inflammation. If hyperbarics can alleviate even the slightest inflammation, the oxygen-saturated fluids (point 1 above) will be able to circulate or recirculate in areas previously less «nourished» by oxygen. 

3- Promotes the body's detoxifying effect. Hyperbaric chamber sessions activate the body's natural detoxification process. The body's own system then takes care of eliminating everything, via the kidneys, liver and capillary networks, for example. They help eliminate toxins, bacteria, heavy metals, etc. 

With these 3 points very briefly explained, it becomes easier to understand why people who have had a stroke or concussion in the USA have fewer symptoms.
