​ANXIETY & HYPERBARICS 

​Anxiety is a prevalent and debilitating condition affecting many individuals worldwide.  One of the ways hyperbaric oxygen therapy may help reduce anxiety is by increasing the oxygen available to the brain.

​​ANXIETY & HYPERBARICS 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is being studied for its potential to support individuals experiencing anxiety by enhancing the amount of oxygen delivered to the brain. This increase in oxygen availability may help promote a sense of calm and support overall mental clarity, though more research is needed to fully understand its effects. 

Research has linked anxiety to decreased blood flow and reduced oxygen delivery in specific regions of the brain. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), which involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized setting, may help increase oxygen saturation in the body’s tissues. This process can enhance circulation and improve oxygen availability to the brain. One of the observed short-term effects is a potential reduction in pressure within the brain, as improved blood flow supports a more balanced physiological state.

The elevated oxygen levels provided during Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may also stimulate the release of growth factors, which play a role in the development of new blood vessels. This process, known as angiogenesis, is believed to support improved brain function and enhance neuroplasticity—the brain’s natural ability to reorganize and adapt. If these effects are sustained, they may contribute to longer-term support for managing anxiety and promoting overall cognitive well-being.
