What is ozone therapy?

Ozone therapy is the treatment of some diseases using medical ozone gas. Medical ozone gas is produced with devices called medical ozone generators (MOJ). These devices are formed in an environment where pure medical oxygen in the range of 99.9%-100% is subjected to high electrical voltage at a certain current rate. Ozone therapy is the common name of the methods in which the ozone produced by this method is used for therapeutic purposes.

What are the ozone application methods?

The most known form of ozone therapy is the method in which blood is taken from the vein into a vacuum bottle, mixed with ozone gas and given back to the vein, known as major auto-hemotherapy. Giving the serum by ozonation or applying ozone-sauna is also considered as the major method.

All these methods, including ozonation of 0.9% NaCl serum, also known as saline, have been approved by the Ministry of Health in our country.

The method in which a small amount of blood is taken and applied intramuscularly after interacting with ozone is also frequently used, it is called minor auto-hemotherapy. There are situations where minor auto-hemotherapy is particularly preferred.

There are many methods in which ozone gas is used locally on or inside the body. There are many methods such as applying ozone gas to the large intestine (colon) or exposing the leg to ozone gas by bagging method, giving ozone gas to the joint space. The physician may choose one or more methods depending on the patient's condition and discomfort.

Adding another method to one of the major ozone methods is a non-mandatory standard in ozone therapy. It is a method that increases the efficiency of treatment in many diseases.

What is the target with ozone therapy?

In particular, major ozone therapy is a method that stimulates the body's antioxidant system. The antioxidant system, on the other hand, is the mechanism that neutralizes all kinds of metabolic events in the body, as well as toxic and disintegrating harmful molecules. Stimulation of this system virtually eliminates bodily fatigue and effectively compensates for the associated mental stagnation.

It also repairs microtraumatic problems in capillary circulation. Therefore, it improves blood circulation, that is, oxygenation and nutrition, in all tissues. Therefore, it successfully eliminates fatigue, especially after COVID-19 disease and due to vaccination.

How many sessions are applied?

Major ozone therapy is designed as a minimum of 10 sessions. It can be applied once a week as well as every day. The number and frequency of sessions in regional applications may vary depending on the patient and his/her condition.  Because of this reasion the ozone doses to be used in ozone therapy and the preferred methods are designed separately for each ailment.
