Samantha recently shared a post on her Instagram talking about her recent hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment.
Hyperbaric therapy is an oxygen therapy that is rarely used. Recently, Google must be getting several inquiries about hyperbaric therapy after actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared a post on Instagram. Last year, the Yashoda actress spoke about the diagnosis of myositis – inflammation of the lungs. In her last post, she posted a picture of herself wearing an oxygen mask and that made fans of hers and others curious to find out more about hyperbaric surgery and how beneficial it really is.
What is the hyperbaric therapy that Samantha Prabhu recently underwent?
What is Hyperbaric Surgery?
It is an oxygen therapy that provides high concentrations of oxygen. According to Healthline, hyperbaric therapy is administered under high air pressure, as it helps the body take in oxygen. This therapy is usually prescribed when someone is recovering from illness and the air is 100 percent pure oxygen, as the normal air we inhale is only 21 percent oxygen. The air pressure helps the lungs to take in pure O2. Therefore, our body tissues receive more oxygen improving the recovery process.
Why did Samantha undergo hyperbaric therapy?
Last year, Samantha Prabhu spoke about her health problems. She was reportedly diagnosed with myositis, a chronic progressive inflammation of the muscles. It is a rare disease and cannot be easily diagnosed. There are different types of myositis:
Dermatomyositis: Causes more skin rashes
Polymyositis: Polymyositis (PM) begins with muscle weakness in the muscles closest to the trunk of the body and then spreads from there. Each case of PM is unique and often people with PM are found to have additional autoimmune diseases.
Inclusion body myositis: Causes pain in the muscles of the thighs, knees, forearms. One might experience pain while swallowing as well.
Myositis has no particular known cause or symptoms. This autoimmune condition affects the muscles and there is still ongoing research to understand the true cause behind it.
