What Is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy is the practice of using ozone gas to treat disease or improve health. The treatment involves administering ozone gas into the body in one of several different ways. 

Ozone (O3) is a colorless gas made of three oxygen atoms. It is naturally present in Earth’s atmosphere, blocking much of the sun’s UV radiation. Medical-grade ozone is a versatile molecule that can help treat many diseases, alleviate pain, deactivate parasites and bacteria, promote healing and strengthen the immune system.

How Does Ozone Therapy Work?

Ozone therapy uses medical-grade ozone gas, which is created with an ozone generator. This ozone gas can be administered by:

  • Applying it to the skin
  • Injecting it into muscle
  • Blowing it into the body
  • Mixing it with blood
  • Ingesting it orally

Ozone therapy works by triggering controlled levels of oxidative stress in the body. This upregulates the body’s antioxidant defense system and boosts immunity. Ozone also increases oxygen levels in tissue and has antimicrobial effects. There is even evidence that it triggers collagen remodeling and faster wound healing. All of this, taken together, helps treat countless ailments and improves well-being.

Benefits of Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy stimulates the body’s antioxidant and immune systems while simultaneously increasing oxygen levels in targeted areas. In other words, it works with your body’s own healing potential. This has numerous potential health benefits. There is evidence ozone therapy can:

  • Inactivate viruses, bacteria and parasites
  • Boost and modulate the immune system
  • Reduce inflammation and mitigate pain
  • Increase cell turnover and promote healing

Who Is a Candidate for Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy is a suitable treatment option for many of our clients interested in alternative therapies for common conditions. It has been found to be effective in alleviating pain and the severity of a wide range of conditions.

However, this treatment is not suitable under certain conditions. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have severe cardiovascular instability, if you are taking ACE inhibitors or if you have favism, you may want to consider other treatments.

Which Conditions Can Ozone Therapy Help With?

Ozone therapy is a versatile treatment. It was traditionally used to treat infected wounds, but its use has now expanded to address the following conditions:

  • Viral infections
  • Allergies
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Chronic infections (e.g., candida, herpes and Lyme disease)
  • Chronic pain conditions (e.g., migraine and fibromyalgia)
  • Musculoskeletal disorders (e.g., arthritis and disc herniation)
  • Cardiovascular system disorders

This treatment is noninvasive, quick, painless and generally safe. Patients can experience the benefits of ozone therapy after a single session without serious side effects and long recovery periods.

What Happens During Ozone Therapy?

There are different ways to administer ozone. A method is chosen based on the condition being treated and patient preference. The options include:

Ozone sauna

We can expose an area of your body to ozone gas using a protective covering, which is known as an ozone sauna.

Skin application

An alternative to ozone saunas is applying a solution with ozone directly to the skin. This is usually done to enhance wound healing.

Injections

Ozone injections are a great way to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain. The injections help increase circulation into the affected tissues, encourage collagen remodeling and reduce inflammation.

Insufflation

Another way to deliver ozone is by filling mucous-rich cavities, like the ears, with ozone gas. This helps deliver the therapeutic potential of ozone gas to the entire body.

Ingestion

You can also ingest ozone to deliver its benefits anywhere in the body. The gas is dissolved in water or oil at carefully selected doses for easy administration.

Auto blood transfusion

We can take a sample of your blood, dissolve ozone gas in it and then reintroduce it back into your body via an auto blood transfusion.

A typical ozone therapy session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Patients can have as many treatments as needed until they see improvement. The treatment is painless, but you may experience mild tingling when ozone gas touches your skin. Side effects may include headaches or nausea, which resolve on their own within the first day.
