The Mild HOC increases the oxygen level of your tissues which will speed up your healing process and ATP (energy) production. According to the International Hyperbarics Association, “Mild-hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a much simpler procedure that consists of entering a hyperbaric chamber and experiencing a 30 percent increase in pressure, equaling 1.3 atmospheres or 10 feet below sea level. This serves as the highest pressure approved by the FDA for soft-sided chambers and allows for an exceptionally safe increase in tissue oxygen levels. Studies have shown a 50 percent increase, or more, in plasma oxygenation after one hour of treatment in a 1.3 atmosphere environment, with compressed room air only. By omitting deep depths of pressure and the use of high oxygen concentrations, mHBOT is an extremely safe way to cause a significant enhancement of oxygen in the body.” Increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve and saturate more effectively in the blood system, primarily the plasma (independent of hemoglobin), which yields a broad variety of positive physiological, biochemical and cellular effects.
