Ozone Therapy
Ozone Therapy is when small amounts of ozone are introduced to the body (internally and externally) that triggers healthy cells and moderates oxidative stress. This oxidative stress generates a number of chemical messengers for activating crucial biological functions.
BENEFITS OF OZONE THERAPY
- Ozone increases Oxygenation: Ozone increases dissolved oxygen levels in the blood which results in increased ATP (energy).
- Ozone improves Antioxidant Systems: Increases antioxidants in response to the oxidative stress induced by ozone. This increase not only protects from oxidation and inflammation but also helps with chronic oxidative stress.
- Ozone improves Energy Levels: Increased free dissolved oxygen means an increase in ATP (energy) production which is also a powerful mitochondrial stimulant.
- Ozone is Anti-inflammatory: Ozone triggers an increase in the production of antioxidants that protect cells from oxidation and inflammation.
- Ozone is Anti-Microbial: Ozone produces a direct oxidative effect on bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microbes. A sufficient amount of ozone can break through the cell membrane and destroy the organism.
- Ozone is Analgesic (Painkiller): Ozone has an analgesic effect by oxidation on the nerve endings in the damaged tissue. Analgesic effects are also brought on by the increase in antioxidants, a reduction in inflammation and improved oxygenation.
- Ozone improves Elasticity of Red Blood Cells: Ozone can decrease blood thickness and viscosity, resulting in easier circulation, stimulated dilation and relaxed artery walls.
- Ozone supports Detoxification: Ozone activates metabolic processes in hepatic and renal tissues, meaning their main functions of neutralisation and elimination of toxic compounds are ensured.
- Ozone heals Mucus Membranes (Leaky Gut): Ozone triggers a strong tissue repair mechanism that is useful in healing scars, wounds and mucus membranes.
AREAS OF OZONE USE
Ozone has been used for over 80 years. Currently, there are almost 50,000 medical practitioners that deal with ozone on a daily basis in over 100 countries.
SIDE EFFECTS OF OZONE THERAPY
- Ozone is toxic for inhalation: The lungs only have a small amount of antioxidants which are insufficient to counteract the strong oxidative effects of ozone. But in the case of blood and internal components, both plasma and blood cells have a remarkable quantity of antioxidants that are able to handle ozone making it non-toxic in recommended amounts.
- Ozone adverse reactions: The incidence of ozone-related adverse reactions are very low – 0.000007% (one of the lowest in medicine). Allergic skin reactions are possible from ozone, although they are very uncommon.
