Hyperbaric Chamber and Anti-Aging

Hyperbaric chambers are all the rage, but are they truly effective or just another celebrity craze?

If you follow me on Instagram, @valerieorsoni, you’ve seen me spend hours in a hyperbaric chamber, especially when I was super-speed healing my broken right ankle. ✨

I'm a huge fan! But when I talked about it with people around me, I realized that very few actually knew how it works and why it’s a part of a comprehensive biohacking & anti-aging approach. This post focuses on the anti-aging aspect. Other posts will be dedicated to autism, mental illnesses, injuries, and other issues.

Let’s dive into the wonderful world of hyperbaric chambers together!

What is a Hyperbaric Chamber?

A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed chamber where atmospheric pressure is increased beyond normal levels, often measured in ATM (atmospheres). This technique, known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), allows patients to breathe pure oxygen under high pressure, increasing the amount of oxygen the blood can carry.
In a standard environment, we breathe air with about 21% oxygen, but in a hyperbaric chamber, the oxygen level can be raised to 100%, under pressures ranging from 1.5 to 3.0 ATM.
This significant increase in oxygen in the blood and tissues stimulates various beneficial biological processes. 🌱🩸

What is it Used For?

The hyperbaric chamber is used to treat a variety of medical conditions. Initially developed to treat decompression sickness in divers, HBOT has since expanded its applications. 🌊🩺

It's now used to heal serious infections, promote healing of chronic wounds that don’t heal well, and treat carbon monoxide poisoning. 🚑💉

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by increasing the concentration of oxygen in the blood plasma, allowing oxygen to reach areas of the body where circulation is compromised, thereby stimulating tissue repair and cellular regeneration. 🌟🧬

Why is it Considered an Anti-Aging Practice? 🕰️✨

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is often touted as an anti-aging practice due to its effects on cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation. 🔄🔥

But is this claim true?
