Ozone therapy is an exceptional treatment that supports and encourages your body to heal. It can be used to support health and help assist patients who may have chronic illnesses or infections.
Ozone therapy has also been used for anti-aging purposes.
Please note that ozone therapy does not cure health conditions, but it assists the body through better oxygen utilization to begin to heal itself. It is used in conjunction with many other approaches in traditional and functional medicine.
According to the EPA, Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It is both a natural and a man-made product. The Oxygen one breathes is present in the air as a pair of oxygen atoms (O2). The addition of the third oxygen atom is what gives ozone potential healing benefits.
Since the early 1800s ozone has been used for medicinal purposes. It was suppressed in the US as pharmaceutical companies took over. The FDA does not approve the use of ozone however in Europe the LE (their version of the FDA) stands by its use. Here in the US the FDA only addresses the effects in the lungs. Ozone is toxic to lung tissue. At Aqua restore we use ozone in other ways that are highly beneficial to the body and very safe.
Most adverse reactions are due to negligence during administration and not from the ozone itself. There are more than 40,000 physicians that successfully use ozone in their treatment regimens today.
Oxygen particles have a strong affinity to bind to each other. As stated, prior, ozone’s chemical formation is O3, meaning it has an extra particle over oxygen (O2) making it super sticky. When Oxygen is mixed in blood it attaches itself to the hemoglobin within a matter of seconds. This may then create a “trickle effect” throwing your body’s defense system into hyperdrive. Ozone is known for the possibility to stimulate the immune system, which gives it the potential to be effective against infections. In addition, ozone can also be anti-inflammatory, and can help promote wound healing. Chronic inflammation is the cause of many diseases and ozone’s anti-inflammatory effect can also help in these circumstances.
Ozone has the capacity to promote an increase in the uptake and use of oxygen in the blood, which further promotes healing especially in conditions that result from poor circulation. Ozone also can simulate an increase in antioxidants which prevents further conditions from developing. In addition, ozone has the capacity to have a regenerative effect on tissues and stimulate stem cells.
The main uses for ozone are:
