Ozone therapy

– a method that has a wide range of therapeutic effects. In therapeutic concentrations, ozone has immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and analgesic effects.

Ozone therapy

The main objective of the method is to improve blood flow in small vessels (capillaries), as well as supply cells with oxygen. Ozone reacts with fatty acids that are found in the membranes of red blood cells. Peroxides are formed - quickly reacting chemical compounds necessary to combine oxygen in the blood. Therefore, ozone therapy promotes oxygen absorption, improves blood flow and oxygen supply to organs.

Ozone therapy is easy to use, highly effective, well tolerated - even pregnant women can resort to its help. Ozone can be introduced into the body subcutaneously, intravenously, intraarticularly, intracavity.

Properties of ozone

Ozone is a gas with a specific odor. The bulk of ozone is located in the atmosphere in the form of the ozonosphere at an altitude of 10 to 50 km with a maximum concentration at an altitude of 20 km. Ozone is formed under the influence of ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of up to 185 nm. Located in the upper layers of the atmosphere, it blocks ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, which is harmful to all living things, and absorbs infrared radiation from the Earth, preventing its cooling.

Ozone is an allotropic modification of oxygen and, like oxygen, has oxidizing properties. The difference is that ozone, as a substance with a large supply of internal energy, easily disintegrates and becomes a stronger oxidizing agent. Ozone is relatively stable in acidic and neutral solutions, but is toxic in high concentrations.

Ozone has a diverse effect on various organs and systems of the body. In natural concentrations, ozone has a stimulating effect on the human body: it increases resistance to cold, the effects of toxic substances, hypoxia, causes an increase in the content of hemoglobin and red blood cells in the blood, increases the phagocytic activity of leukocytes, the complement titer of blood serum, the immunobiological potential of the body i Iskhakova R.R.

Low concentrations of ozone have a positive effect on respiratory function, cause a decrease or normalization of blood pressure, stimulate reparative processes in tissues, increase the activity of respiratory chain enzymes and oxidative phosphorylation i Iskhakova R.R.

Ozone therapy allows you to solve a wide range of problems based on the beneficial properties of ozone:

• Detoxification is the removal of toxins from the body.
• Antimicrobial effect - ozone can destroy many types of microbes.
• Antiviral properties - the gas has a destructive effect on viruses, even those that are resistant to antiviral drugs.
• Elimination of inflammation, which makes it popular in the treatment of acne.
• Lipolysis is the partial breakdown of fat cells, accelerating metabolic processes in subcutaneous fat.
• Strengthening redox reactions in the body.
• Strong oxidizing effect, reacting with many formations and their subsequent destruction. Destroys bacteria resistant to antibiotics.
• Harmful microorganisms do not develop resistance to ozone.
• Analgesic effect, since O3 binds to substances that are responsible for transmitting pain impulses.
• Efficiency in the treatment of vascular pathologies by reducing blood viscosity and thrombus formation.
• Antihypoxic effect, due to blood saturation with oxygen and its rapid delivery to tissues.
• Stimulates the formation of antioxidants, which has a positive effect on the immune system.
• Stimulates ATP synthesis, quickly relieves fatigue.

Types of ozone therapy. Benefits and technique of intravenous technique

There are various methods of ozone therapy. How ozone therapy will be carried out depends on the desired result from the procedure. In this regard, there are the following methods of saturating the body with ozone:

• systemic procedures: extracorporeal ozone therapy of blood, administration of intravenous ozonated saline solution;
• local procedures: instillation ozone therapy, rectal and intravaginal insufflation, subcutaneous injection with an ozone-oxygen mixture, intramuscular administration, application of ozone-rich creams and oils for massage, ozonation of bath water.

How is ozone therapy useful when used intravenously?

Intravenous injection ozone therapy, as a drug-free method of treating many painful conditions, is widespread. An intravenous ozone therapy session is simple, and due to its speed, ozone injections into a vein are highly effective. Despite the fact that the number of procedures is determined individually, it can be noted that after just a few sessions the patient will feel the therapeutic effect and a general improvement in well-being.

!

The speed of this ozone therapy technique is due to the fact that when it enters the blood, ozone instantly interacts with blood components.

Circulating in the blood, they transfer additional oxygen atoms to cells with an unstable and damaged structure, strengthening them and enriching them with energy. Ozone destroys the membranes of harmful microorganisms, viruses and fungi, thereby purifying the blood and organs. This is the essence of “launching the antiseptic mechanism.” Therefore, intravenous oxygen ozone therapy has a general effect, not a local one.

It is possible to combine ozone therapy using this method with autohemotherapy. Then problems with metabolic disorders are eliminated, hormonal balance is restored and oxygen transport is completely restored.

Expert opinion

In order for this procedure to be beneficial to health and not cause harm, it is extremely important to contact accredited medical centers and clinics that have permission to carry it out. In such places, they strictly monitor the technique of performing ozone therapy, the absence of toxic impurities in the gas, as well as the level of concentration of ozone-oxygen mixtures.

Ozone therapy: how does the procedure work?

What is needed for the ozone therapy procedure? How is intravenous ozone therapy performed? When ozone treatment is prescribed, the question of how the procedure is done certainly arises. We will provide a brief description of the process.

To administer ozone intravenously, a physiological solution is required, which must be enriched with gas no later than 20 minutes before the session. Enrichment occurs through a special ozonizer.

!

The procedure itself is an intravenous infusion using a dropper.

Session duration is 15-20 minutes. Upon completion, the needle is removed from the vein bed, and a bandage is applied to the insertion site. After ozone therapy, you should not get up for at least 15 minutes.

How many times should ozone therapy be done intravenously? The number of procedures is determined by the doctor. On average, the course is 6-12 sessions. Considering how often it can be done, the duration of treatment can last up to one and a half months. Therefore, some are interested in the question of whether it is possible to drink alcohol and smoke at this time. Or only after ozone therapy? Smoking is prohibited half an hour before and half an hour after the procedure. Drinking alcohol is prohibited during the entire course of ozone treatment.

Ozone therapy in the treatment of blood vessels

Ozone therapy: what is this procedure?

The effect of ozone therapy is based on the biological effects of ozone. This gas has strong oxidizing properties, which is manifested by a number of effects:

• bactericidal;
• vericidal;
• aseptic;
• fungicidal;
• anti-allergenic.

Ozone also stimulates microcirculation of fluids in body tissues.

Since the gas is involved in redox reactions, it stimulates metabolic processes, increases cellular immunity, kills pathogenic flora, removes dead cells and slows down the aging process. The skin and subcutaneous fat layer are rejuvenated, the production of bioactive substances is enhanced, blood circulation is normalized, and inflammation is eliminated. Local fat deposits are also eliminated, which is in demand not only for correcting the body, but also the face: with the help of ozone, you can eliminate a double chin, make the line of your cheeks and cheekbones more aesthetic, remove “bags” under the eyes, etc.

When treating cellulite, fat deposits literally dissolve, and along with them, the fibrous capsules that make up the cellulite “mesh” are removed.

Contraindications

General contraindications for ozone therapy are:

• all conditions accompanied by increased bleeding (hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, hemorrhagic stroke);
• thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism);
• hypoglycemia;
• myocardial infarction;
• history of epilepsy and other seizures;
• acute pancreatitis;
• exacerbation of gastric ulcer;
• arterial hypotension for a long period;
• alcohol intoxication;
• menstruation period;
• the use of medications that reduce blood clotting;
• individual intolerance.

Pros and cons of the procedure

Advantages of the technique:

• stimulation of the immune system;
• muscle relaxation, analgesic and sedative effect;
• speedy skin renewal, rejuvenation, elimination of many age-related and birth defects.

Flaws:

• a large number of side effects;
• use in areas where the effects of ozone therapy have not yet been fully studied, which carries a risk for the patient;
• many contraindications;
• combating subtle signs of aging.

Ozone therapy for pregnant women

Ozone therapy during pregnancy is permitted and can be prescribed in the following cases:

• for the prevention and treatment of intrauterine infection of the fetus;
• to combat toxicosis and gestosis;
• with the threat of premature birth and miscarriage;
• to exclude postpartum infections;
• to cleanse the body of the harmful effects of medications;
• if there is a dysfunction of vital organs, etc.

!

It is also recommended to resort to ozone therapy when planning pregnancy.

The procedure will help in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, the treatment of inflammatory processes and cervical erosion, and will also have a general healing effect, relieve tension and stress. Therefore, there is a high probability that pregnancy will occur faster after the procedure.

Procedure methods

Subcutaneously, into the subcutaneous fat

This ozone therapy technique has found application in cosmetology for face and body correction. When treating the face with microneedles, a mixture of oxygen and the drug “Medozon” is introduced. At the injection sites, the doctor performs a massage for better absorption of the mixture by the tissues. The affected area must be treated with an antiseptic.

The procedure lasts about 15 minutes, after which you should not touch your face for three hours. Requires 1-2 courses per year of 10-12 procedures with monthly maintenance injections.

Ozone-based masks and massage oils are also used for the face.

To combat cellulite and local fat deposits, ozone is injected into the subcutaneous fat tissue in a dosage of 500 ml. Treatment areas: buttocks, thighs, abdomen, sides. If cellulite is advanced, it is recommended to combine ozone therapy with massage. Ozone liquefies dense fat deposits, which are then eliminated through the lymph flow. In the same way, they fight scars and stretch marks, because the production of elastin and collagen is stimulated at the sites where ozone is administered.

How many procedures are needed for a course of ozone therapy is determined by the doctor, based on the complexity of the problem and the desired effect.

How is external ozone therapy performed?

When applied externally, the gas eliminates pathogenic bacteria and viruses, fungi and protozoa - even those that are resistant to other treatment methods. It also helps stop external bleeding and promote wound healing. A mixture of oxygen and ozone stimulates the regeneration process, is easily tolerated, has a pronounced effect and combines well with other therapeutic and surgical techniques.

This type of ozone therapy is applicable to eliminate complications of varicose veins, burns, trophic ulcers, non-healing and infected wounds.

Intravenous injections

Ozone is introduced dropwise or streamwise into the blood, pre-dissolved in saline solution or mixed with the patient’s blood. Its medicinal properties in this case are explained by its high oxidizing capacity. When interacting with the membranes of red blood cells, ozone forms ozonides - molecules that activate the enzymatic functions of blood cells. As a result, metabolism in the body increases, energy processes accelerate, and the ability of immune cells to remove viruses and bacteria increases. In patients, pain is reduced, immunity is increased, inflammation is eliminated, and general detoxification is also ensured.
