Hi, I'm Dr. Ritisha from Dr. Preeti's team at Peak Wellness Gurgaon. I have been working on the edge pod, and today I want to talk to you about the diabetic foot ulcer. Now, diabetic foot ulcer, as we know, is a complication of very high sugar levels in your body. So what happens when you have a diabetic foot? There, because of the very high sugar, there is loss of sensation. This leads to decreased blood flow, and then there's thriving infection. Now, because of this reduced blood flow, there is no oxygen, and when there— wherever there is lack of oxygen, your infections start overgrowing, and this is what you call as tissue hypoxia. And a lot of cases that we come across, you know, when you have a diabetic foot ulcer, the only solution as of date is always known to be an amputation of the foot. But how many of us really want to be in that state? I mean, do you think anyone's very happy when they hear that they have a diabetic foot and the only treatment is, is an amputation? So this is where, where we at Peak Wellness can help you. This is the EdgeBot machine, a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber wherein we provide oxygen at a higher than normal pressure, and this pushes pure oxygen into your blood plasma 20 times more, and it allows oxygen circulation into all parts of your body. Even though you do regular pranayama and, you know, you're sitting in your air purifiers, your EdgePod will help send the pure oxygen across all your, all parts of your body. So especially like in diabetic foot ulcers, because they tend to happen in your extremities, this pushes the oxygen into these oxygen-deprived areas. So, and it helps to regenerate, um, all the blood vessels, this collagen production. So, and it kills all the bacteria. So an HPOT is definitely one treatment that people with diabetes should start looking at because, uh, it definitely gives you an improved, um, life and you save your limb at the end of the day. So what more could you ask for? So definitely if you or you know someone who's suffering from a diabetic foot ulcer or any gangrenous or highly infected wound, please do come visit us at Peak Wellness, um, and see, and I'm sure we will be able to help you live a much better quality life. Thank you so much.
