The Oxygen Reset: How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Supports Whole-Body Healing
At Fig Tree Wellness, we believe healing happens best when we work with the body’s natural intelligence—supporting it with time, attention, and the right environment. One of the therapies we’re honored to offer, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), does just that: gently inviting the body into a deeper state of healing by increasing access to its most essential resource—oxygen.
HBOT is a non-invasive, restorative therapy that takes place inside a comfortable pressurized chamber. While you lie down and simply breathe, oxygen is delivered at higher-than-normal levels and saturates your bloodstream—not just your red blood cells, but your plasma, lymph, and even your spinal fluid and bone tissue. This increased availability of oxygen supports tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and enhances the body’s natural regenerative processes.
Over time, things like chronic stress, inflammation, environmental toxins, and aging can reduce circulation and limit how much oxygen our cells receive. When oxygen can’t reach where it’s needed, healing slows down. HBOT helps change that—flooding the body with oxygen so that healing can resume in places that have been depleted, inflamed, or overlooked.
Research has shown remarkable effects. A 2020 study found that HBOT may help reverse key signs of cellular aging—lengthening telomeres and reducing the presence of senescent (or “stuck”) cells that contribute to inflammation. But beyond the science, what we hear most from our patients is how much better they feel: clearer thinking, deeper sleep, faster healing, improved energy, and a sense of calm that lingers long after the session ends.
HBOT has been shown to support a wide range of conditions, including:
Post-stroke and traumatic brain injury recovery
Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
Long COVID and other post-viral syndromes
Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions
Lyme disease and mold toxicity
Hormonal imbalances and adrenal fatigue
Cognitive decline and brain fog
Insomnia and nervous system dysregulation
Post-surgical recovery and scar healing
Radiation damage and non-healing wounds
Athletic performance and muscle recovery
“The fundamental cause of all degenerative disease is a condition called hypoxia: oxygen deficiency at the cellular level.”
Each session is deeply relaxing. The chamber is warm, softly lit, and private. You can rest, meditate, or simply be still while your body does the work. It’s a quiet kind of healing—nothing flashy or forced, just the simple act of breathing in what your body has been needing more of all along.
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from HBOT. Many of our patients use it to build resilience, support immunity, and age with greater ease. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes healing comes not from pushing harder—but from giving your body space to repair.
We invite you to experience it for yourself. Our introductory HBOT package includes three sessions for $480, to be used within two weeks—a spacious starting point to feel how oxygen can support your healing from the inside out.
You’re welcome to reach out with questions or schedule a consultation. As always, we’re here to support you—mind, body, and spirit.
