Part 2: Mitochondria, Inflammation & Whole-Body Healing
At its core, HBOT addresses two major drivers of chronic and degenerative illness:
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
- Chronic systemic inflammation
Oxygen Where It Matters Most
Under hyperbaric pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into plasma, allowing it to reach tissues that may otherwise be poorly oxygenated. This results in:
- 30–40% increased oxygen absorption
- Direct delivery of oxygen into organs and tissues
- Enhanced cellular energy production
This oxygen-rich environment:
- Fuels cells directly
- Supports mitochondrial repair and efficiency
- Improves tissue resilience and repair capacity
System-Wide Benefits of HBOT
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to:
- Reduce systemic inflammation
- Support immune function and infection control
- Kill or inhibit certain pathogens
- Improve nervous system function and signalling
- Enhance stem cell mobilisation and function
- Promote faster healing and recovery
Conditions That May Benefit From HBOT Support
These effects make HBOT a valuable adjunctive therapy for individuals with:
- Autoimmune conditions
- Degenerative diseases
- Chronic inflammatory conditions
- Certain infections
- Autism spectrum conditions
- Post-surgical recovery needs
- Impaired stem cell function
- Cognitive decline and dementia
