In clinical medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used under medical supervision for specific conditions such as wound healing, decompression sickness, and carbon-monoxide poisoning.

Oxygens chambers are different — they’re designed for mild, non-medical wellness use. People choose them to support general wellbeing, relaxation, and recovery. While research exists on a range of applications, results vary, and our equipment is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

We recommend seeking medical advice before undertaking HBOT to ensure it is suitable for your needs.

Yes, mHBOT is generally very safe when used correctly. However, there are certain conditions, such as congestive heart failure, certain lung conditions, and uncontrolled seizures, that may make mHBOT unsuitable. It’s important to consult a medical professional before undergoing HBOT.

mHBOT is not a treatment for cancer itself, but many people with a current or past cancer diagnosis have explored it as a complementary therapy — particularly to support recovery, energy levels, and wellbeing during or after treatment. Some individuals report benefits such as reduced fatigue, improved healing, and fewer side effects when used at appropriate times alongside medical care.

While there is growing interest in the role of oxygen therapy in cancer support — especially outside of chemotherapy windows — every case is different. The safety and suitability of mHBOT depends on individual health factors such as the type of cancer, current treatments, and timing.

For this reason, we strongly recommend speaking with your oncologist or medical team before starting sessions, to ensure it’s right for your situation. We’re happy to provide equipment details or protocols if your healthcare provider would like to review them.

At Oxygens, we are committed to supporting safe, responsible use of hyperbaric therapy and encourage all clients to make informed choices in partnership with their medical professionals.

Yes — for most people, mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is considered very safe when used as directed. mHBOT involves relaxing inside a softly pressurised chamber (usually between 1.3 and 2.0 ATA), breathing ambient or supplemental oxygen. This gently increases the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream, supporting natural healing and recovery processes.

The therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and generally well tolerated, with many users reporting benefits such as improved energy, faster recovery, reduced inflammation, and better sleep. Side effects are rare and usually mild, such as temporary ear pressure (similar to flying), which can be easily managed with guidance.

As with any therapy, mHBOT may not be suitable for everyone — particularly individuals with certain health conditions such as uncontrolled ear or sinus issues, specific lung conditions, or if using certain medications. We always recommend speaking with a healthcare professional before beginning therapy, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions.

At Oxygens, all of our chambers are designed with multiple built-in safety features and are supplied with full training and support to ensure your experience is both safe and effective.

Oxygen Purity – Our concentrators produce oxygen at up to around 95% purity, meeting recognised international and UK standards for concentrators.

Inhaled Oxygen (FiO₂) – Inside a mild hyperbaric wellness chamber, the oxygen you actually breathe is usually between 60% and 90%, depending on factors like mask fit, airflow, and breathing pattern.

Pressure & Oxygen Uptake – The chamber gently increases pressure to around 1.3–1.5 ATA. At this level, your body can absorb more oxygen than at normal room pressure — this happens naturally through basic gas laws (Henry’s Law and Dalton’s Law).

What this means in practice – The “up to 95% oxygen” figure refers to the purity of the oxygen produced by the concentrator. Inside the pressurised chamber, that oxygen is absorbed more efficiently, so even though the percentage you breathe can vary, you’re still getting enhanced oxygen availability to support general wellbeing and recovery.

Mild Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is a treatment that involves breathing increased oxygen in a pressurised environment, typically inside a hyperbaric therapy chamber. The increased pressure causes the oxygen to dissolve into the blood, which can help to increase the amount of oxygen in the body’s tissues.

Senolytic effects refer to the ability of certain compounds or treatments to selectively target and eliminate senescent cells, which are cells that have stopped dividing and can contribute to aging and age-related diseases.

There is ongoing research into the potential senolytic effects of Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Studies in animals and cells have suggested that mHBOT may help to eliminate senescent cells and improve the function of the immune system. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to determine the most effective ways to use mHBOT for senolytic effects in humans.

If you are looking for a Mild hyperbaric therapy chamber near you, you can try searching online for “hyperbaric chamber” or “hyperbaric oxygen therapy” along with your location. You can also contact your local hospitals, clinics, or medical centers to see if they offer Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Additionally, you can also check with your insurance company to see if they have any recommendations for providers near you

Mild Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is a therapy that involves breathing in increased oxygen at a pressure higher than normal atmospheric pressure. Although mHBOT is generally safe, it may not be appropriate for certain individuals due to certain contraindications. Some of the contraindications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy include:

1. Pneumothorax: Individuals with an active pneumothorax, or collapsed lung, should not undergo mHBOT as it can cause the lung to expand further and cause additional damage.
2. Decompression sickness: Individuals who have recently experienced decompression sickness, a condition caused by ascending too quickly from depths in scuba diving, should not undergo mHBOT.
3. Recent surgery: Individuals who have recently undergone surgery, especially on the ears, face, or eyes, should not undergo mHBOT until the surgical wound has fully healed.
4. Severe lung disease: Individuals with severe lung disease such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, or asthma should not undergo mHBOT.
5. Recent head injury: Individuals who have recently suffered a head injury or have an open wound on the head should not undergo mHBOT.
6. Seizures: Individuals with a history of seizures should not undergo mHBOT as the increased pressure may trigger a seizure.
7. Certain medications: Individuals who are taking certain medications such as nitrates, retinoids, or certain antidepressants should not undergo mHBOT as these medications can have dangerous interactions with the high oxygen levels.
8. Pregnancy: Pregnant women are usually not recommended for Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy
