Ozone therapy refers to the use of ozone gas for medical purposes. Ozone gas consists of three oxygen molecules and is naturally present in our atmosphere. Ozone therapy is the use of ozone gas in low concentrations for medical purposes. Ozone therapy can be used for many different health problems such as increasing blood circulation, increasing antioxidant activity, supporting the immune system, treating infections and reducing pain.
Ozone therapy can be applied in many different ways. One of the most common methods is the injection of ozonated water through the skin or ozonated oils. Ozone therapy can also be applied by taking a portion of blood, mixing it with ozone and then giving it back.
Although ozone therapy is thought to be useful for many different health problems, it also has some risks. Ozone gas can cause irritation of the lungs and respiratory tract tissue. Also, high concentrations of ozone gas can be harmful. Therefore, ozone therapy should only be administered by experienced health professionals.
Ozone therapy is becoming increasingly popular, especially in the field of alternative medicine. However, before having sufficient knowledge about ozone therapy or before it is carried out by an experienced health professional, it is important to be informed about and carefully evaluate its potential risks.
