Ozone therapy is the process of applying ozone gas to your body to treat an illness or wound. Ozone is a colorless gas composed of three oxygen atoms (O3).

Medical ozone has been used for more than 100 years to disinfect medical supplies and treat different diseases. It also helps prevent infection in wounds.

According to a study published in PubMed in 2018, the reactions that occur when ozone comes into contact with body fluids enable the formation of more proteins and red blood cells. This increases the oxygen level in your body.

Ozone therapy can also disrupt unhealthy processes in your body. Studies have shown that ozone therapy can neutralize bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites:

Ozone application consists of three main treatment methods;

Major treatment (intravenous): To treat immune system disorders, ozone gas is usually dissolved in special glass bottles with blood taken from you. Then, blood containing the dissolved gas is injected back into you through your IV.

Minor treatment (intramuscular injection): Ozone therapy is also available as an intramuscular injection. For this injection, ozone gas is usually mixed with blood before administration.

Bagging application (direct to tissue): If you are receiving ozone therapy for an extremity problem or wound, ozone gas will most likely be applied directly to the tissue of the affected body part. The gas is delivered in an ozone-resistant bag.

The main diseases for which ozone therapy is applied as a complement and results are obtained are as follows:

• Circulatory disorders

• Diabetes

• Immune system strengthening

• immune system disorders

• Anti-aging treatment

• Preventing the progression of eye diseases

• foot fungus

• Rheumatism

• Arthritis
