Ozone Therapy

What it is used for

Mainly for the treatment of pain and chronic inflammation due to an excess of free radicals. These include, in particular, chronic inflammation of any kind, immune processes, ischaemic processes and infectious processes.

How it works

Basically, medical ozone has a damaging effect on the infectious organism or inflammatory cell by provoking oxidative stress on the cell wall. It has been shown that oxidative preconditioning of abnormal cells triggers molecules in our cells that activate genes for cellular repair and defense, such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour and reoxygenating genes.

What diseases it treats

Ozone therapy is a complementary treatment for many chronic diseases which, unfortunately, cannot be cured. Given its excellent tolerability and minimal risk, it is ideal for improving the quality of life in patients with chronic pain and in infectious, ischaemic and autoimmune processes.

All safety studies (tolerability, teratogenicity and carcinogenicity) have been carried out in accordance with the regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the World Health Organisation (WHO).

In preclinical studies, more than 60 publications endorse its harmlessness and efficacy as a protector in models of kidney, liver, brain, heart, pancreatic, intestinal, bone and muscle damage.

Different research groups have published clinical studies showing it to be useful and very well tolerated in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, neurological, ophthalmological, pneumological, digestive, metabolic, rheumatological, odontological, etc. diseases.

A series of studies demonstrate its interest as an adjuvant to cancer patient treatments, both as a protector against the damage caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as for improving immunity and favoring the healing of complicated wounds.

Benefits of ozone therapy

At present, we have scientific support for the benefits of ozone therapy, both at preclinical and clinical level, amply supported by publications in prestigious journals.
The benefits of ozone therapy properly applied without risk is a sufficiently proven medical reality that can be used to improve the quality of life in critical illnesses, always complementing classical medicine.

Contraindications

The contraindications of ozone therapy are minimal and the prevention of pain is its best antidote. Relative contraindications for systemic ozone therapy include uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, thrombocytopenia, severe cardiovascular instability and convulsive states.
