Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Hype or Hope?

What to Know About the Buzz Around Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

A recent article in The Cut—“Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy a Scam?”—explores the growing interest in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), especially among celebrities and wellness circles. The article provides a thoughtful examination of where HBOT excels, the current state of the science, and why some caution is warranted.

It explains how HBOT works by delivering concentrated oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing oxygen to reach areas of the body that need healing. It also outlines the FDA-approved uses for HBOT, including conditions like chronic wounds, carbon monoxide poisoning, and radiation tissue damage. The article raises a valid point: while HBOT has clear medical benefits, it’s essential to distinguish well-supported treatments from unproven wellness claims, and we’re here to guide you in making informed decisions.
