Hbot Studies/The Science
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been studied for decades as a safe and effective way to increase oxygen delivery to the body. By breathing concentrated oxygen in a pressurized chamber, more oxygen is dissolved into the bloodstream, which helps tissues repair, reduces inflammation, and supports overall healing. Clinical research has shown benefits in multiple areas, including wound healing, brain health and neuroplasticity, sports recovery, and even age-related conditions. While some applications are still considered “off-label,” the growing body of scientific evidence continues to highlight HBOT’s potential to improve wellness and enhance the body’s natural ability to heal.
🟢 Healing & Recovery
HBOT is widely recognized for its ability to support wound healing and tissue repair. By increasing oxygen delivery to injured or inflamed areas, HBOT helps stimulate new blood vessel growth, fight infection, and accelerate recovery. The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society lists several approved uses, including non-healing diabetic wounds and radiation injuries.

🔵 Brain & Neuroplasticity
Studies show that HBOT can improve brain function by stimulating neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new connections. Research from Tel Aviv University found that patients with stroke or traumatic brain injury experienced improvements in memory, attention, and processing speed after HBOT treatments.

🟣 Aging & Longevity
Recent studies suggest HBOT may play a role in slowing aspects of the aging process. Research published in the journal Aging showed that HBOT can lengthen telomeres (a marker of cellular aging) and reduce the number of senescent “old” cells, supporting healthier aging at the cellular level.

🟠 Sports & Recovery
Athletes use HBOT to recover faster from intense training and injuries. By reducing inflammation, supporting tissue oxygenation, and improving energy production, HBOT has been shown to shorten recovery times and enhance overall performance.
