Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy, also known as oxygen therapy, is a simple and therapeutic procedure that can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions. The most recognized effects of Ozone therapy are detoxification of heavy metals, and its ability to rid the body of bacterial, fungal, and viral disease. This treatment is an effective alternative to oral medication and is especially beneficial for patients who are allergic or experience adverse effects with certain medications.
What is Ozone therapy?
Ozone therapy involves a practitioner administering ozone gas to the patient’s body to treat or alleviate symptoms of targeted medical conditions. This is typically done directly through the skin, but is possible intravenously, or intramuscularly. This gas is colorless and odorless. Ozone therapy stimulates the immune system and disrupts unhealthy processes in the body. The biological effects of Oxygen-Ozone therapy reduce oxidative stress on the body, promoting healthier cells, protein, and DNA. Oxidative stress causes your body to age on a cellular level, leading to future illness. Medical Ozone therapy seeks to reduce this progression through oxygen delivery.
For over 100 years, doctors have used medical ozone to disinfect medical supplies as well as for medical application to the body, such as preventing infection in the wounds. Clinical studies have found that the action of ozone in contact with body fluids stimulates the production of more protein and red blood cells, consequently increasing oxygen supply.
Ozone therapy is a treatment that has been used for years in alternative medicine as well as traditional medicine and does not require surgical intervention to treat conditions.
How is Ozone Therapy administered?
Ozone therapy is typically administered through a sauna, with patients often noting its therapeutic effects. As the patient sits in a personal heated sauna, the ozone gas is then infused at the optimal temperature. A sauna is used in order to promote circulation to the skin, allowing the ozone gas to be absorbed by the skin and circulated throughout the body.
This method is effective at giving a generalized ozone treatment, with the added benefit of treating skin conditions the patient may have. Additionally, using a sauna is the most effective way to detoxify the body of heavy metals and maximize the biological effects.
The effects of Ozone therapy accelerates and enhances healing processes within the body, and is effective as a supplemental therapy in preventing vascular disease complications after cardiovascular damage has occurred, or surgery.
Treatments
The biological effects of Ozone therapy have a wide range of medical uses:
- Heavy metal detoxification
- Treating bacteria-related infections and viruses
- Treating certain fungal infections
- Treating breathing disorders
- Reducing risk of complications from diabetes
- Stimulating the immune system
Safety of Ozone therapy
When Ozone therapy is administered, it is important that it is not directly inhaled, rather absorbed through the skin to avoid any adverse side effects. Administering Ozone therapy at high doses intravenously can also yield dangerous effects.
Used appropriately, the beneficial effects of Ozone therapy can be used to treat a variety of ailments, as well as promote good health and wellness.
