Porter Pharmacy: Breathe your way to better health with Oxygen Therapy

We all know that oxygen is essential for life, but there are a host of health benefits associated with inhaling oxygen at greater pressure. It’s called Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and you can now experience the benefits for yourself at Porter Pharmacy in Westhill. 

Oxygen Therapy Manager Gail Winchester explained, ‘Studies have shown so many conditions benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It’s beneficial for pain relief, wound healing, sports performance, long Covid recovery, skin conditions, menopausal issues, sleep apnoea, arthritis and muscle and bone conditions to name a few.  It boosts mental wellbeing, relieves anxiety and depression symptoms and is a very relaxing experience. It is not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker, defibrillator or serious sinus or lung issues like COPD. 

‘Each session in the chamber lasts an hour; the pressure gently increases, followed by 40 minutes of pure O2 before a gradual decompression. Many people describe the sensation as similar to flying. 

‘Sessions cost £75 for an hour, but are also available in blocks of five or ten at a reduced price, as it works best with a cumulative build up in your body. At the moment, we have a special introductory offer of £10 off a trial session using the code Trend10.
