What is ozone?
Cell and skin regeneration is possible with ozone therapy.
It is a very high-energy form of 3-atom oxygen. Ozone is gaseous at room temperature. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic odor that can be felt after stormy weather, at high altitudes or on the seashore.
Ozone used in medicine is produced from pure oxygen in special generators.
Ozone Effect Mechanism
Ozone neutralizes all toxins (phenols, pesticides, detergents, chemical wastes and aromatic compounds) due to its strong oxidizing properties. It can kill microorganisms.
Reactive oxygen species cause oxidative damage to cells as they age. This condition is called increased oxidative stress. In recent studies, positive developments have been observed by administering ozone to the body with low doses of reactive oxygen. As a result of repeated low-dose ozone applications, the antioxidant system is strengthened and resistance to oxidative stress develops.
In addition, reactive oxygen species enter the cell, increasing cytokine levels and the production of growth factors that reduce inflammation. Treatment with ozone is used as an auxiliary treatment method, especially in diseases where the inflammatory process is intense and the immune system is at the forefront (wound healing, ischemic, rheumatic and infectious diseases).
Ozone accelerates cell regeneration.
Oxygen deficiency is eliminated by ozone therapy by increasing the oxygen carrying capacity and elasticity of red blood cells and the fluidity of the blood. It is also applied as an additional treatment in cases of vascular occlusion and dilatation of the vessels.
By interacting directly with fat cells, it causes a decrease in cholesterol and regional fat destruction.
It lowers blood sugar level.
It reduces cartilage loss in arthritis and stimulates the production of intra-articular fluid and cartilage, reduces joint pain and increases mobility.
Known as the Elixir of Youth, ozone is now very effective in the treatment of chronic diseases. Dr. For a brief description of Ökkeş Şimşek, see here.
Diseases for which Ozone Therapy is Beneficial
Osteomyelitis, pleural emphysema, fistula abscesses, infected wounds, pressure sores, chronic ulcers, diabetic feet and burns
Hypertension
Diabetes Mellitus (Diabetes)
advanced ischemic diseases,
Eye macular degeneration (atrophic form), Musculoskeletal system diseases and joint calcifications
Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
Chronic and recurrent infections and sores in the oral cavity
Acute and chronic infectious diseases (hepatitis, HIV-AIDS, herpes and herpes zoster infection, papillomavirus infections, onychomycosis and candidiasis, giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis), especially caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi resistant to antibiotics and chemical treatments. Baroclinites and vaginal candidiasis.
Allergy and Asthma
Autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease),
Senile dementia (senile dementia)
Lung diseases: emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and acute respiratory stress syndrome
Skin diseases: Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis
Cancer-related fatigue
early stage kidney failure
Benefits of Treatment with Ozone
This treatment method accelerates blood circulation to cells and tissues.
It strengthens the immune system, increases resistance to infectious diseases.
It renews the veins (arteries and veins), improves blood pressure.
Treatment with ozone cleans the blood and lymph system.
It makes the skin work like a third kidney or a second lung system,
Cleaner, softer and younger skin
By removing the toxin accumulated in the muscles, it relaxes and softens the muscles, increases their flexibility,
Heals joint pain and muscle discomfort,
Normalizes the production of hormones and enzymes,
Strengthens brain functions and memory,
Relieves depression and anxiety
By oxidizing adrenaline, which is known as the stress hormone, it provides a general calmness and helps to relieve the tension caused by depression.
What are the Treatment Methods?
Major Method: It is the most common method of treatment with ozone. With this method, the number of treatment sessions with 50-200 ml of blood taken from the person and the ozone dose to be applied; It should depend on the patient’s general condition, age, and major illness.
Minor Method: 2 – 5 cc of blood taken from the person is mixed with the specified dose of ozone and injected into the person.
Giving Ozone to Body Cavities: Ozone is given to the person by spraying rectal, vaginal and ear canal.
Giving ozone gas to the joints and muscles: In musculoskeletal disorders, a certain dose of ozone gas is injected into the joints and muscles of the person with an appropriate needle.
Ozone bag: It is used in non-healing wounds and diabetic feet, skin lesions, infections, circulatory disorders, neuropathic pain and restless legs syndrome.
Ozone container: It is used especially in pressure sores.
Side Effects of Ozone Therapy
Treatment with ozone has almost no side effects. Depending on the antioxidant capacity of the patient, there are no adverse effects reported so far due to application errors and high-dose ozone administration. Therefore, treatment with ozone should always be started at a low dose and gradually increased. In some cases, it may be inconvenient to apply treatment with ozone. These conditions are glucose enzyme deficiency, pregnancy and especially in the early period and patients with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor therapy. In addition, they can be listed as hyperthyroidism, bleeding disorder and uncontrolled cardiovascular diseases and asthma patients reacting to ozone.
Things to pay attention
All antioxidant supplements containing Vitamin C and Vitamin E should be discontinued during treatment with ozone. The presence of these compounds in high concentrations in the blood affects the effectiveness of ozone, an oxidant substance, and thus the treatment process. The patient should be told not to consume large amounts of foods rich in these vitamins. Therefore, vitamins or antioxidants should be given before or after ozone therapy and should never be given during therapy. Before ozone therapy is applied, patients should have taken blood pressure and diabetes medications at least 2 hours before and should not be hungry during ozone therapy.
Treatment with ozone is a low-risk, complementary, supportive and restructuring method often accompanied by standard medical treatments. For your questions, you can review here.
