Hyperbaric Chamber Weight Loss: Does It Work?
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Works Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood, potentially enhancing tissue healing. While HBOT is an established treatment for certain medical conditions like decompression sickness and carbon monoxide poisoning, its efficacy for weight loss remains unproven. The Theoretical Mechanism of HBOT and Weight Loss The rationale behind using HBOT for weight loss is based on the theory that increased oxygen supply might boost metabolism and fat burning....
