Before-and-after brain SPECT imaging studies of people who have undergone HBOT and MHBOT have show impressive improvement in blood flow to the brain.
Proper blood flow in the brain is vital for mental health. SPECT scans that show low blood flow have been associated with many neuro degenerative diseases like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, suicide, substance abuse, and much more.
Low blood flow is the #1 brain imaging predictor that a person will develop Alzheimer’s disease.
Some of the benefits of increased blood flow are :
You’ll maintain healthy blood and oxygen flow throughout the body, allowing your lungs, brain, heart and muscles to function properly and efficiently. You’ll fight off and avoid potential diseases and sicknesses. With good circulation, the white blood cells in your immune system will be transported around the body as needed. Keeps your organs in its best working order. Efficient circulation helps remove waste from the body created by different organs.Imaging Source:
