How Does Ozone Therapy Work?

  • The process of ozone therapy involves the administration of ozone gas into the body in different ways, such as intravenous injection, rectal insufflation, or topical application, and it can also be introduced through ozonated water or oil, with the exact method depending on the health condition being treated.
  • Ozone therapy works by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, as ozone has the ability to activate the immune system, increase the production of white blood cells, and enhance the oxygenation of tissues.
  • When ozone is introduced into the body, it reacts with substances like lipids and proteins to form reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are highly reactive molecules that, while potentially damaging in large amounts, in controlled and small doses can stimulate cellular repair mechanisms and promote healing.

A Brief History of Ozone Therapy

  • 1850s Europe

    Ozone was first used for sterilizing surgical instruments.

  • World War I

    Applied directly to wounds to prevent infections.

  • 20th Century

    Evolved into autohemotherapy in Europe and Cuba.

  • Today

    It is practiced in clinics worldwide, with regulations and levels of acceptance that vary by country.

Ozone Therapy Treatment Options

Ozone can be administered in different ways, depending on the condition:

  • IV Ozone Therapy (Ozone IV drip)

    Infusion of ozonated blood.

  • Major Autohemotherapy (MAH)

    Blood is drawn, treated with ozone, and re-infused.

  • Rectal Ozone Insufflation

    Ozone gas introduced rectally for systemic effects.

  • Topical ozone therapy is applied

    To skin wounds or infections.

  • Ozonated Water & Ozonated Oil

    Used in dental care, skin treatments, and oral rinses.

  • Prolozone Therapy

    Ozone injections combined with nutrients for joint or pain management.

Potential Benefits of Ozone Therapy

Research for Ozone Therapy is ongoing, but possible benefits include:

  • Improved oxygen delivery and circulation.
  • Support for immune system activity.
  • Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress.
  • Enhanced wound healing, especially in diabetic ulcers.
  • Dental benefits for gum disease and oral infections.

Note: Scientific evidence is still developing. Ozone therapy should be seen as complementary treatment, not a replacement for conventional medicine.

Controversies and Risks

  • The FDA does not approve ozone therapy for any condition.
  • If misused, risks may include gas embolism, irritation, fatigue, or dizziness.
  • Some clinics have faced sanctions for falsely marketing it as a cure (e.g., during COVID-19).

At Nuceria, we highlight the potential benefits and the risks, ensuring you are always fully informed.

Legality of Ozone Therapy in the U.S.

  • Not FDA-approved, but not banned either.
