COLITIS & HYPERBARICS
A recent study involving patients hospitalized with severe ulcerative colitis (UC) symptoms found that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) was associated with clinical improvements. In some cases, these improvements allowed patients to avoid surgery or the use of immunosuppressive medications.

HOW HBOT CAN HELP
Addresses Tissue Hypoxia:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is often associated with inflammation and may contribute to reduced oxygen levels in affected tissues, a condition known as hypoxia. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) increases the amount of oxygen carried in the blood, which can enhance oxygen delivery to these areas—potentially supporting tissue function and aiding in the body’s natural healing processes.
Reduces Inflammation:
Inflammation is a key factor in IBS, and HBOT can help reduce it by suppressing inflammatory gene expression and mitigating cytokine storms.
Promotes Tissue Regeneration:
HBOT can promote the growth of new blood vessels and tissues, which can be beneficial in repairing damaged tissues in the gut.
Antibacterial Effects:
HBOT can help the body fight off harmful bacteria, which can be a contributing factor to IBS symptoms.
Improved Oxygenation and Healing:
HBOT increases oxygen levels in the blood, which can improve oxygen delivery to tissues, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
Potential for Improved Quality of Life:
By addressing the underlying causes of IBS, HBOT can potentially lead to a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in the overall quality of life for individuals with IBS.
