Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is, at its core, a way to flood your body’s tissues with oxygen under pressure. In practice, it means you sit or lie in a specialised chamber where the air pressure is raised above what we normally experience, and you breathe close to 100% oxygen. Under that pressure, oxygen dissolves into the blood plasma - not just into red blood cells - allowing it to travel deeper into tissues, reaching areas that might otherwise be oxygen-starved.

Why go to all this trouble? Because oxygen isn’t merely life’s background hum - it’s an active player in repair, regeneration, and resilience. When tissues are stressed, injured, inflamed, or simply not getting the oxygen they need, everything - from cellular metabolism to healing capacity - can be compromised.

Amplified delivery: By pushing more oxygen deeper into tissues, HBOT helps reach zones that are difficult to service under normal conditions - areas where circulation is weakened or damaged.

Supportive environment for repair: Oxygen is a critical ingredient in many biochemical pathways. More oxygen means cells can generate more energy (via mitochondria), produce growth factors, and orchestrate repair more efficiently.

Taming inflammation: Chronic inflammation is an enemy of regeneration. HBOT supports anti-inflammatory processes, which can ease swelling, reduce oxidative stress, and create a more hospitable environment for healing.

Mobilising natural systems: It also encourages your body’s own regenerative capacity. For example, some evidence suggests HBOT can increase the number of circulating stem/progenitor cells - those ready-to-go repair agents harboured in the body.

Synergy with treatments: In many settings, HBOT is used alongside other interventions - like wound care, surgery, or therapies designed to support recovery - because better oxygenation helps those interventions be more effective.

Put simply: HBOT matters because it strengthens the foundation upon which healing, restoration, and optimisation occur.

During a session, you’ll relax inside a comfortable pressurised chamber while breathing in up to 100% oxygen. This increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve not only into your red blood cells but also into the plasma - the fluid part of your blood - enabling it to travel deeper into your body’s tissues.

At Jyai, we offer HBOT as part of our wider approach to holistic wellness and recovery. Our focus is on helping your body function at its best - naturally and safely.
