Hyperbaric Oxygen/Hydrogen Therapy can be an important part of a complementary and integrative cancer treatment program.

By increasing the levels of Oxygen/Hydrogen in the body, can help enhance the immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. The therapy involves breathing a combination of Oxygen and Hydrogen in a pressurised chamber, which allows oxygen/ hydrogen dissolve more effectively into the bloodstream and delivered to tissue in the body including areas with limited blood flow due to cancer or treatments like radiation.
This treatment can provide several potential benefits for cancer patients:
- Immune System Support: Improving the function of immune cells, helping the body to better identify and attack cancer cells.
- Reducing Hypoxia: Many tumors thrive in low-oxygen (hypoxic) environments. By increasing oxygen delivery, HBOT it may reduce tumor resistance to treatments, making them more effective.
- Wound Healing: Cancer treatments, particularly radiation therapy, can damage healthy tissues and lead to delayed healing of wounds. HBOT has been shown to accelerate wound healing and reduce complications from radiation therapy, such as radiation-induced tissue damage.
