Why Hydration for HBOT Healing Matters
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) works by increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the body’s tissues, accelerating healing at the cellular level. While oxygen is the driving force behind HBOT, hydration for HBOT healing is a critical factor that determines how effectively that oxygen is transported and utilized. Water is essential for circulation, nutrient delivery, […]
