FAQ

YES! The hyperbaric chamber uses filtered ambient air, so there is no risk of oxygen toxicity to the body even with regular use.
The chamber can be depressurized and opened from the inside.

Once inside the chamber, both visual and verbal communication is possible with the outside.
Most people report a comfortable, relaxing experience and emerge from the chamber feeling refreshed.

This therapy is non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, and there are no dangerous side effects

The increased pressure allows the blood plasma and other liquids of the body to absorb additional oxygen, thus greatly increasing oxygen uptake by the cells, tissues, glands, organs, brain, and fluids of the body.

The resulting uptake of oxygen allows for increased circulation to areas with swelling or inflammation. At the same time, the increased pressure decreases swelling and inflammation.

Oxygen is then utilized by the body for vital cell functions, healthier cells equals healthier tissues, and organs.

The human body is capable of healing itself when it has what it needs. There is NOTHING the human body needs more than OXYGEN.

No dangerous side effects have been reported with Mild Hyperbaric Therapy.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind when preparing for your first session in a chamber:

Some people experience a mild discomfort to the ears when pressurizing the chamber, not unlike during the ascending part of an airplane ride.

Some people following their first few sessions experience slight fatigue as the body sweeps itself clear of toxic debris that has built up in the body. This is safe and necessary.

It is advisable that you wear comfortable, loose clothing. (Tight clothing may contribute to feelings of claustrophobia.)

Bring something to read, as the sessions last between 55 and 85 minutes. You may want to bring your phone, a book, or music/podcast, etc. to listen to.

Do not drink large amounts of fluids before entering the chamber.

Do not wear perfume or cologne when you are coming for your session.

The chamber will seem smaller when deflated than it is when fully pressurized. Within a few minutes the chamber will inflate completely, allowing enough room for an adult to lie fully extended.

After the chamber inflates, it will begin to pressurize. This is the time when you may experience pressure in your ears. The easiest way to relieve any discomfort this may cause is to equalize your ears using one or more of the following methods:

Close your mouth and firmly clamp your nose shut with your fingers and thumb. Blow, as if you were blowing your nose, but keep nose and mouth closed. You will feel the air come out through your ears when you have done this procedure correctly, and this should relieve the pressure.
Yawn.

Stretching your mouth as wide as possible, even stretching your tongue out. This will cause the sinus passages surrounding your ears to drain and relieve the pressure.

If you are the parent of a small child who is having trouble with their ears during pressurization, try massaging the area just below the ears and right behind the jaw. A baby still on the bottle or pacifier should be given either of these, but if your child is likely to spill drinks in the chamber please try to monitor them with liquids.

Sit upright. Turn your head completely to the right, then completely to the left. Repeat earlier steps until the ears are cleared.

The sessions usually last between 50 and 80 minutes, and up to 110 minutes.
