Ozone therapy involves administering medical-grade ozone gas into the body to to increase oxygen levels in the body, potentially boosting the immune system and promoting healing and various health benefits. Ozone (O3) consists of three oxygen atoms, while the oxygen we breathe (O2) has two oxygen atoms.
Ozone injection: Ozone gas is injected into the bloodstream, joints, or muscles through autohemotherapy.
Ozone sauna: Ozone is introduced through the skin or respiratory system in a sauna.
Ozone ozonated olive oil: Topical application for skin conditions.
Ozone insufflation: Administered through various orifices (e.g., rectal or auricular insufflation).
Some potential uses and benefits have been studied, including the following :
Immune System Support: Ozone therapy activates the immune system, potentially boosting immunity. However, keep in mind that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning against using ozone therapy in 2019 due to insufficient evidence of its effectiveness and safety.
Improved Blood Circulation: Ozone therapy may enhance blood circulation by increasing oxygen delivery to cells, tissues, and organs.
Improved oxygenation: Ozone therapy enhances oxygen utilization in the body, potentially aiding overall health.
