For what diseases is a normobaric chamber suitable?
The normobaric chamber is called the chamber of life. It was patented by Polish doctor Jan Pokrywka. It is a non-invasive method of supporting the treatment of diseases and injuries. The undoubted advantage of the normobaric chamber is its wide range of applications: its use is recommended in dermatological, metabolic, cardiological, neurological and oncological diseases. It is an excellent solution for allergy and asthma sufferers, because it makes breathing easier. A huge benefit of using normotherapy is its effect on stimulating the body to remove toxins accumulated by staying in an environment polluted with dust and smog. It helps in the fight against drowsiness, lethargy and headaches by properly oxygenating the body. Harmful free radicals, which are removed in normobaric oxygen therapy thanks to the antioxidant effect of hydrogen, are also a major problem for health and well-being. It is also recommended for patients after invasive procedures due to the fact that it accelerates the healing of post-operative wounds and infections, reduces swelling and removes inflammation. It can also be a lifesaver for people suffering from chronic, drug-resistant migraines – normobaric therapies help reduce headaches and rheumatic pain. It is also worth mentioning cancer diseases, in which normobaric therapy also has many benefits – it alleviates the effects of chemo- and radiotherapy and facilitates the cleansing of carcinogens. The normobaric capsule will also bring relief to people with depression or neurosis, helping to calm and quiet the body. It is also recommended for healthy people – the benefits of the therapy include support for collagen production, which results in improved appearance of hair, skin and nails. A single session lasts about 2 hours, but you can stay in the chamber non-stop and even sleep in it. Contraindications include claustrophobia, ear or sinusitis or upper respiratory tract infection. These are mainly circumstances that do not allow for equalization of pressure in the ears.
What are the characteristics of a hyperbaric chamber?
The beginnings of hyperbaric therapy are associated with the British physician Henshaw, who in 1662 constructed a prototype of the “Domicilium” spa chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a method based on treatment using oxygen by increasing its concentration in the inhaled air. The hyperbaric chamber is a tightly closed device that is used to perform a non-invasive oxygen therapy procedure under high pressure. In this way, a lot of oxygen dissolves in the blood, more than during deep breathing or climbing mountain peaks. The commonly used pressure in the chamber is up to 2 times greater than the atmospheric pressure, thanks to which it eliminates the physiological barriers to the penetration of oxygen into cells. Currently, several types of chambers are used in hyperbaric therapy: a single-place chamber for one person, who is in a lying or standing position without using an oxygen mask, and a multi-person hyperbaric chamber , where it is possible to perform the procedure on several people at the same time, and oxygen is inhaled through masks. The treatment allows you to breathe pure oxygen at a concentration up to 9.5 times higher than in a normal environment, which has a beneficial effect on your health and well-being.
