Hyperbaric versus normobaric conditions

Hyperbaric and normobaric therapy are both methods that use oxygen to promote healing and recovery, but there is an important difference in the applied pressure conditions. Hyperbaric therapy occurs at increased pressure, which allows more oxygen to be absorbed into the blood. Normobaric therapy in a Normocare chamber, on the other hand, takes place at very slightly elevated atmospheric pressure up to a maximum of 1.5 bar. In these conditions we accelerate the absorption of the gases in the chamber into the body, without the risks associated with hyperbaric conditions.

Normocare adds an extra dimension to this: hydrogen as a secret weapon, both in the air of the chamber and in the hydrogen water you drink there.

Although many studies have been conducted in hyperbaric conditions, the underlying biological effects – such as improved cell repair, inflammation inhibition and stimulation of growth and repair processes – are also relevant in normobaric applications, although possibly to a lesser extent or requiring application over a longer period of time. Normobaric therapy in a Normocare room, however, is pleasant and safe, so you can stay in the room for several hours and not even notice that you are being treated.
