Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has gained attention from celebrities like Mayim Bialik and Justin Bieber, who have used it for health reasons, including inflammation, autoimmune issues, anxiety, and stress.
The therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment and is used for medical conditions, including wound healing, slowing the effects of aging, and treating infections, air bubbles in blood vessels, and difficult-to-heal wounds or injuries.
Experts caution that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not a miracle cure and is not a one-size-fits-all solution, as it can have severe reactions like seizures, and medical supervision is crucial.
While the therapy can stimulate blood vessel growth and aid in healing, it can also be overdone, and its anti-aging benefits are debated, with more affordable and conventional health practices being recommended.
The therapy carries risks like lung damage, ear complications, and potential eardrum issues.
Mayim Bialik, who has been open about her struggles with Grave's disease, an overactive thyroid condition, found the hyperbaric chamber solution with the assistance of the International Hyperbaric Association.
