How To Engage Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
To undergo HBOT, you first need to discuss with your doctor and get a prescription. With an authorized prescription, you can then arrange for a session in public hospitals which have a HBOT laboratory. A session will cost between $100 to $150.
What to Expect from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Before you start your HBOT sessions, you will be given a set of rules, primarily for your safety in the oxygen chamber. Since the chamber contains pure oxygen, the rules are set to restrict flammable substances and prevent fire. For instance, you are not to put on any moisturizer or any perfume or talcum powder and only 100% cotton clothing are allowed in the oxygen chamber.
During the HBOT session, you will also be asked to lie on a cot and then wheeled into the oxygen chamber. These chambers are meant only for one person and are made of clear plastic. While you are in this chamber, you will be permitted to read, listen to music or sleep. The chambers are installed with built-in microphones so that you can speak to the operator of this chamber, when needed.
This specialized therapy lasts about 60-90 minutes.
