How is Ozone Therapy Applied?

<

Ozone can be introduced into the body in various ways. It can be mixed with gases or liquids and combined with blood, or injected intravenously (directly into the veins) or subcutaneously.

Can be applied via the rectum, vagina, or into muscle tissue and joints.

Topical approaches limb bagging (a controlled gas bath) and ozonized water or oils.

Autohemotherapy and insufflation techniques may also be used. Your doctor will advise you on the most suitable dose and method of administration for you.

All routes of administration treat systemic, local or both. While systemic treatments benefit the body as a whole, local applications treat a specific area.

Autohemotherapy: Autohemotherapy is a systemic treatment that mixes ozone with blood taken from the patient. Major Autohemotherapy (MAHT) takes 40-200 ml of blood from the patient, combines ozone and medical oxygen with the blood and reconnects the patient with the mixture. This can be done several days apart. Small Autohemotherapy (mAHT) draws a few ml of blood from the patient using a syringe (which already holds an equal amount of ozone), shakes the syringe contents and injects the mixture back into the patient.
Insufflation: Insufflation means blowing ozone gas into a body cavity. Insufflation in ozone therapy is mainly done in the rectal or vaginal cavity. Insufflation can also be used to apply ozone to the ear or nasal cavity. Ozone gas is given to the patient in varying doses depending on the treatment applied.

Ozone Joint Treatment: It is a potentially wonderful treatment for aching joints, backaches, torn ligaments and similar ailments. Joint injections are a popular treatment that requires injections into the joint cavity. Ozone joint treatment can be divided into two parts.

• The first part is a mixture of vitamins and drugs.
• Second, ozone is added to the mixture and it acts by intraarticular injection, curative treatment.

This combination benefits the regeneration of new ligaments and cartilage tissue. Inflammation is reduced and weak areas of the joint are strengthened again. Usually, an injured or degenerated joint will be treated with a series of 3-5 injections over 8 to 10 weeks. You can usually expect 15%-25% improvement each time.
