What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone is an unstable gas consisting of molecules of three atoms of Oxygen. The instability of these molecules causes them to easily break apart and release a single electron, which is a free radical. This is a chemical process known as oxidation. Typically, we think of oxidation as being bad for us. However, just as with inflammation, it is the excess that causes degeneration and disease, while a little bit is beneficial and even necessary for health.

​

This oxidative property makes ozone a powerful therapeutic agent within the body by promoting increased production of our own antioxidants, one of which is glutathione. Glutathione is not only our strongest antioxidant, but it also serves to naturally recycle and restore other antioxidants we ingest, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid – and more.

​

Ozone has no known toxicity to any tissue except for the lungs. Ozone is toxic to the lungs and should not be inhaled.

​

Other ways in which the oxidation of ozone is beneficial: 

• By destroying pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi

• ​Neutralizing many toxins 

• Boosts our own immune system to help it fight harder, via increased cytokines and white blood cells. In this way, ozone helps the body to better fight infections naturally and inhibit tumor growth.

• Increases the metabolism of red blood cells, allowing each one to carry and release oxygen more efficiently.

• Dilate constricted blood vessels, thereby increasing the flow of this newly oxygenated blood into every tissue in the body. More oxygen means each cell, tissue, and organ can better perform its work.

Ozone has been used to help with​

• Wound healing

• Circulatory disorders, heart disease

• Acute infections like colds, flu, dental or skin infections

• Chronic infections like Hepatitis B & C, Epstein-Barr, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes Simplex and Zoster, Lyme, Streptococcal and Staphylococcal infections, and Candidiasis

• Autoimmune disorders like Systemic Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis

• Allergies

• Cancer

• Acute and chronic fatigue

• Preventive aging

• Athletic performance and endurance
