Ozone therapy is utilized to enhance the immune system and mitigate the effects of viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast, and protozoa. Additionally, it serves as an anti-inflammatory agent, offering a unique approach to healing and detoxification without leaving residues.
This therapy stands out for its dual action of healing and detoxifying the body simultaneously, contributing to its effectiveness in promoting longevity. Ozone, a colorless gas composed of three oxygen atoms (O3), serves as a potent regulator of the immune system.
While ozone is naturally present in the upper atmosphere where it shields the Earth from the Sun's ultraviolet radiation, its presence closer to the Earth's surface can be problematic. Ozone becomes an irritant to the lungs and may trigger asthma and other respiratory issues, which is why ozone therapy is not administered through inhalation. Instead, it is carefully administered through other means to ensure safety and efficacy.

Although ozone is a gas, advancements in technology have enabled its utilization in various forms and methods, including:
- Ozonated Oil: Applied directly to the body.
- Ozonated Water: Consumed orally.
- Ozone Sauna: Utilized for whole-body exposure to ozone.
- Insufflation: Ozone is blown into various orifices such as the ear, nose, vagina, or rectum.
- Injections: Commonly used in dentistry and pain management.
- EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation): Involves a continuous flow of blood passing through ozone via a hemodialysis machine.
- Major Autohemotherapy: Blood is withdrawn, mixed with ozone, and administered through an IV drip.
- Minor Autohemotherapy: Blood is withdrawn, mixed with ozone, and injected into the buttock via intramuscular injection.
- Ozone-infused Colon Hydrotherapy (“COLOZONE™”): Requires a prescription. For more information, refer to our price list for Colon Hydrotherapy and COLOZONE™.
These diverse methods of ozone administration offer a range of therapeutic applications, tailored to meet individual needs and preferences.
Over the decades, numerous published studies have explored the potential health benefits of ozone therapy. Some of the key advantages include:
- Inactivation of Pathogens: Ozone has been shown to effectively inactivate viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast, parasites, and protozoa, aiding in combating infections and promoting overall health.
- Promotes Longevity: Ozone therapy has been linked to promoting longevity, supporting cellular health, and enhancing vitality.
- Energy and Performance: It can boost energy levels, improve performance, and optimize metabolic processes by accelerating the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria, leading to increased ATP production.
- Digestive System Health: Ozone therapy helps in improving the digestive system by restoring a healthy microbiome and enhancing circulation, thereby aiding in nutrient absorption and waste removal.
- Immune System Support: By stimulating the immune system, ozone therapy can boost healing and enhance the body’s ability to fight off infections and diseases.
- Antioxidant Activity: Ozone scavenges excess free radicals, contributing to rejuvenation and overall health. It also up-regulates antioxidant enzyme defenses, protecting against oxidative stress.
- Cellular Health: Ozone therapy enhances intracellular breathing, reinforces cell membranes, and promotes vibrant, oxygenated skin.
- Improved Circulation: It clears arteries and veins, leading to better circulation, purifying the blood and lymph and promoting nutrient delivery to tissues.
- Hormone and Enzyme Balance: Ozone therapy supports hormonal and enzymatic balance within the body, optimizing various physiological processes
- Anti-inflammatory Effects: Ozone therapy exerts anti-inflammatory effects, reducing inflammation and associated symptoms
- Pain Reduction: It can help alleviate pain by modulating pain pathways and promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
These diverse benefits underscore the potential of ozone therapy as a holistic approach to enhancing health and well-being.
Ozone therapy is experiencing a resurgence in contemporary medicine, particularly within alternative healthcare circles, and is regaining momentum among patients seeking holistic approaches to wellness.
This therapy enhances tissue oxygenation by infusing oxygen into the mitochondria of cells, leading to increased energy levels. Additionally, ozone’s ability to improve blood flow can alleviate pain and inflammation, while its up-regulation of antioxidant enzyme defenses helps scavenge excess free radicals, contributing to overall rejuvenation and health.
Importantly, ozone therapy has been demonstrated to be remarkably safe, with only minor respiratory irritation reported if inhaled.
However, medical practitioners should exercise caution when considering ozone therapy for individuals with certain conditions, including:
- Acute and chronic tendency to bleeding/hemophilia
- Pregnancy
- Photosensitivity or the use of photo-active medication
- Active diverticulitis and active diverticulosis
- Low platelet count
- Possibly in cases of overactive thyroid or thyrotoxicosis
- Individuals with a known deficiency of the glucose-6-phosphate enzyme
It’s worth noting the FDA’s stance on ozone, which considers it a toxic gas with no known useful medical application in specific, adjunctive, or preventive therapy. Despite this, many practitioners and patients alike continue to explore its potential benefits within the context of alternative medicine.
The historical timeline of ozone’s discovery and utilization showcases its evolution and significance in various fields:
– 1785: Ozone was first discovered by Martinus van Marum, a Dutch chemist.
– 1840: A German chemist synthesized ozone for the first time.
