WHAT IS OZONE THERAPY?
Ozone therapy is a highly effective and safe treatment method that has been used worldwide for over 50 years.
WHAT IS OZONE?
Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms. While the oxygen we breathe consists of two atoms and is quite stable, the oxygen atoms in ozone are unstable, causing the molecule to easily separate into individual atoms.
WHERE DOES OZONE COME FROM?
Ozone gas is naturally formed in the upper layers of the atmosphere when ultraviolet rays from the sun strike oxygen molecules. This process forms the well-known “ozone layer,” which protects the Earth from the harmful effects of the sun.
WHERE IS OZONE USED?
Globally, ozone is widely used for sterilizing municipal water supplies, preserving food, agriculture, and aquaculture. Industrial ozone is created by combining oxygen from the atmosphere with ozone gas.
WHAT IS MEDICAL OZONE THERAPY?
Medical ozone therapy refers to the therapeutic use of ozone. Unlike industrial ozone, medical ozone is a precise mixture of ozone and pure medical-grade oxygen, with the concentration adjusted according to medical needs. The ozone-oxygen mixture is prepared immediately before administration to ensure effectiveness.
METHODS OF OZONE APPLICATION
- Major autohemotherapy (systemic treatment involving blood or serum)
- Minor autohemotherapy (intramuscular injection of ozonated blood)
- Rectal/vaginal insufflation
- Intra-muscular and intra-articular injections
- Bagging method
- Ozonated oil, creams, and ozonated water applications
EFFECTS OF OZONE IN THE BODY
- Regulates the immune system
- Increases oxygen delivery to tissues and cells
- Kills bacteria and viruses upon direct contact
- Enhances cellular energy production
- Activates the body’s antioxidant systems
- Aids in the destruction of cancer cells
- Increases overall metabolic rate
- Stimulates collagen production and promotes regeneration of joint and cartilage tissue
Ozone therapy supports a more energetic, healthier life and may help improve quality of life and longevity.
SIDE EFFECTS OF OZONE THERAPY
Instead of side effects, it would be more accurate to talk about “side benefits.” During ozone therapy, additional improvements such as regulation of diabetes and hypertension, or a reduction in body acidity, may also be observed.
WHERE CAN OZONE THERAPY BE USED?
- Circulatory disorders (e.g., Raynaud’s Syndrome, Buerger’s Disease)
- Strengthening the immune system
- Enhancing regeneration of pancreatic cells to reduce medication needs in diabetes
- In metabolic syndrome (Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high triglycerides, abdominal obesity, and arteriosclerosis)
- Diabetic foot and fungal infections of the feet
- Reducing frequency, severity, and drug dependency in colitis flare-ups
- Supporting cartilage in arthritic joints through intra-articular injections
- Pain control and prevention of joint deformities in rheumatic diseases
- In fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, widespread muscle pain, and energy deficiency
- Sleep disorders
- Sudden hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo
- In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and allergies
- Burn treatment
- Promoting faster healing of surgical wounds
- Lumbar and cervical disc herniations
- Preserving liver function in hepatitis
- Treatment of shingles and genital herpes
- Supportive treatment in AIDS
- Treatment of bacterial and fungal vaginal infections
- As supportive care during cancer treatment to improve overall wellness
- In inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis)
- As supportive therapy in age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- In well-aging practices to delay signs of aging
- For localized fat reduction and cellulite treatment through lipolysis
- As supportive treatment for athletes
