What Is Ozone?
Have you ever been able to smell rain in the distance? That familiar, comforting scent is ozone.
Ozone is a naturally occurring gas made up of three oxygen atoms. Ozone is actually found naturally in your body. Your white blood cells make it as part of your normal immune response.
Oxygen in this form has many antimicrobial and regenerative benefits, including:
Improved mitochondrial function
Faster healing and tissue repair
Activated, balanced immune system
Improved oxygen uptake
Inactivation of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa
Reduced oxidative stress
Ozone has been used and studied for more than 100 years. Scientists have found that pure, medical grade ozone can be applied in several ways to fight infection and stimulate healing.
Ozone has the following effects in your body:
-
Improves energy & oxygen uptake
Ozone increases the amount of oxygen released to your tissues. Ozone also stimulates the production of ATP – the energy-carrying molecule found in all of your cells. This means that your cells get the energy they need to function at their best. You feel more energized and clear-headed as a result.
-
Reduces oxidative stress
Ozone promotes a healthy balance between antioxidants and harmful free radicals. Ozone stimulates the production of enzymes like glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase (SOD). These enzymes are critical to good health. They scavenge damaging free radicals that cause oxidative stress, aging, and other chronic diseases.
-
Inactivates bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and protozoa
Ozone helps fight acute and chronic infections. In bacteria, ozone damages the cell membrane through a process called oxidation. In fungi, ozone inhibits fungal growth. And in viruses, ozone damages the viral shell and interferes with viral reproduction.
-
Activates your immune system
Ozone helps your immune system work better. Ozone causes an increase in the production of interferons –proteins that tell your immune system that germs or cancer cells are in your body. Ozone also increases the amount of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-2. These proteins regulate the activity of white blood cells in your immune system.
Is Ozone Therapy Safe?
Ozone therapy with pure, medical grade ozone has an extremely strong safety record when used according to established medical guidelines.
Using ozone to treat chronic infections also has a lot of advantages over antibiotics. Since antibiotics kill the “good” bugs along with the “bad”, they damage the delicate balance of your gut microbiome. This imbalance can leave you more susceptible to infections in the future. Antibiotics can also be hard on the liver, which is responsible for metabolizing the drugs.
Unlike antibiotics, ozone doesn’t kill microbes directly. Instead, it stimulates your immune system to do its job of killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
Ozone Therapy can be helpful for these conditions and symptoms:
Lyme disease and co-infections
Arthritis
Viral illnesses
Fatigue
Brain fog
Circulatory disorders
Bacterial and fungal infections
Chronic pain
Infected wounds
Since ozone decreases oxidative stress (the primary driver of aging), ozone therapy has also become a popular choice for biohackers looking to optimize their health.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I notice results?
Some patients feel better immediately. Others may experience an increase in symptoms for a few days as your immune system is activated. Your overall symptoms should gradually improve over several days.
Is ozone therapy covered by insurance?
Unfortunately, ozone therapy is typically not covered by insurance. But it can be a great investment in your health. We work with you to customize a plan that makes sense for your health and fits your budget.
We also provide you with a superbill so you can submit it to your insurance provider for reimbursement of any services your plan might cover. Reimbursement varies and is dependent on each unique insurer and plan selected. There is no guarantee for reimbursement of service fee. Services are payable by cash or credit upon checkout.
Please contact your insurance, HSA, or FSA provider for further information. For a helpful list of questions to ask your insurance provider, download this Insurance Worksheet.
How much does it cost?
