As an alternative treatment, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is showing great potential in improving the symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease. As demonstrated by some important studies, a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues, called hypoxia, can contribute to the progression or development of Alzheimer’s disease.
HBOT delivers 100% pure oxygen at increased pressure, thereby helping it reach oxygen-starved areas of the body. HBOT significantly enhances oxygen delivery to brain tissues and protects neurons. While there is no cure for Altzheimer’s disease, patients who have undergone Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy have reported significant improvement in the symptoms, including increased memory and concentration, better conversational abilities, decreased disorientation, better sleep, and less frustration. In the case of Altzheimer’s Disease, HBOT is particularly effective if started in the early stages of the disease.
