But what if there was a treatment that could help alleviate the symptoms and severity of many different common health issues? In fact, there is such a treatment, and it is gaining more and more popularity thanks to its effective health benefits. Ozone Therapy, as it is called, is an incredible new approach to a wide variety of health issues that does not involve experimental and costly drugs, yet utilizes a more natural practice that can bring about relief for those suffering from common ailments, as well as help heal wounds faster, relieve pain, and even help you feel recharged and energized. It is a great way to explore natural supplemental treatments to help achieve health goals.
What is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone is made up of three oxygen molecules – making it a type of super charged oxygen that can be beneficial for the body. While it may be unsafe as a liquid or solid, it is not only safe in gas form – it actually is quite therapeutic for the body.
Ozone Therapy works by administering this “supercharged oxygen” to the body in the form of a gas. Ozone therapy works by drawing a small amount of blood from you and mixing it with this supercharged oxygenated gas rendering highly oxygenated blood. Since a higher amount of oxygen in the body can lead to cells repairing themselves through cell regeneration, it can promote healing, encourage pain relief, and offer immune system boosting effects.
What Are The Benefits of Ozone Therapy?
There are many benefits to using Ozone Therapy, and it can, in fact, benefit a wide variety of individuals. Ozone Therapy can treat a wide variety of medical concerns such as depression, anxiety, asthma, diabetes, allergies, and fibromyalgia, not to mention benefits for other autoimmune disorders. While Ozone therapy is not a cure for these health concerns by any means, it is a great way to help manage symptoms along with medical care from a physician. In fact, Ozone Therapy isn’t just limited to these health concerns – it can be used for any individual dealing with almost any type of inflammation – be it an injury or an illness, as well as for chronic conditions.

How Ozone Therapy Works
Ozone Therapy can actually be administered in two different ways, depending on the patient’s individual needs and the goals they wish to achieve with their therapy sessions. The most popular method of Ozone Therapy is through Autotherapy. However, Ozone sauna is another way that Ozone Therapy can be carried out.
Autotherapy
Autotherapy is the most popular method for delivering Ozone Therapy. It is carried out by administering Ozone into the blood. This is done through the drawing of small amounts of blood by our staff. Once the blood has been drawn, Ozone is mixed in with the blood and then shaken lightly to combine. The red and white blood cells in the blood will absorb the Ozone. Once combined, the blood and Ozone are replaced back into your body. This can be done a single time per treatment or multiple times per treatment, depending on how many passes you sign up for when you book your treatment. This type of treatment is beneficial for those who are suffering internal medical conditions, or those who wish to improve circulation or strengthen their immune systems, since the Ozone is absorbed into the body through the bloodstream.
Ozone Sauna Therapy
Ozone Sauna Therapy is a different approach to administering Ozone therapy into a patient’s body – through a personal steam sauna. This functions closely to how a traditional sauna works – the sauna is heated for the patient, and carbon dioxide is administered into the air. Once complete, the carbon dioxide is removed from the air, and Ozone gas is pumped into the room. This is beneficial for those suffering from chronic skin conditions, since the Ozone gas can reach the patient through skin circulation. Ozone Sauna therapy can also be used for internal medical conditions, as well as detoxifying the skin.

Is Ozone Therapy Safe?
Ozone therapy is known for being a safe treatment with little to no risk of side effects.
Who Should Avoid Ozone Therapy?
While Ozone Therapy is safe, there are some individuals who should avoid it, at least until their conditions are resolved. For example, women who are pregnant should consult with their physician beforehand, and are often advised to wait until after pregnancy or to follow their doctor’s guidelines. If you aren’t sure if Ozone Therapy would be right for you for any reason, it is important to consult with your healthcare team, as well as the trained professionals at our clinic, in order to decide.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
How many treatments of Ozone Therapy that will be right for each individual patient will vary. Some individuals looking to use Ozone Therapy to treat a specific ailment may choose to undergo a single treatment, and they find that no further treatments are necessary. However, those with chronic conditions may find that they need regular treatments in scheduled intervals decided on by their care team in order to keep up with positive results.
How Long Does Ozone Therapy Take?
Depending on the type of Ozone Therapy you opt for during your consultation, you can expect your treatment to last anywhere between thirty minutes to an hour. The length of these treatments will vary based on how many passes of Ozone you have signed up for, or the amount of time that you will be spending in the steam room if you are going to be receiving Ozone Sauna Therapy.
What Should I Know Before My Ozone Therapy Treatment?
There are a few things to know before arriving for your Ozone Therapy treatment. The first is that you should be hydrated, especially if you are going to be receiving Ozone Sauna Therapy. Plan to spend at least twenty minutes to a half hour lying down following your treatment, to allow the treatment to be more effective. This gives the body time to eliminate any toxins, as well as allow the Ozone to travel through the bloodstream and reach the vital organs. Also, be sure to be following a multivitamin routine prior to your appointment.
What Should I Avoid When Considering Ozone Therapy?
When you are considering Ozone Therapy, there are a few things that you should avoid or stop before your treatment in order to obtain the best results following the procedure. The main thing you should be sure to avoid is having any kind of vitamin C for an hour or two before and after your Ozone Therapy procedure. This is because Ozone and vitamin C will neutralize each other. Try to avoid eating a large meal directly following your Ozone Therapy. This allows the body time to remove toxins and work to repair itself. Finally, be sure to avoid showering immediately after Ozone Sauna Therapy, to give your skin the chance to take in all the benefits from the Ozone Therapy.
