What Is Ozone?
Ozone gas was first discovered in the mid-19th century. Ozone is a colorless and odorless gas consisting of three atoms of oxygen that reduce the amount of harmful UV radiation to the earth’s surface. Ozone is naturally produced in the earth’s stratosphere by a two-step chemical process. The first stage of the process involves sunlight, which breaks apart an oxygen molecule to form two separate oxygen atoms. The second stage involves each of these highly reactive oxygen atoms combining with an oxygen molecule to produce an ozone molecule (O3). These ongoing chemical reactions occur whenever solar ultraviolet radiation is in the stratosphere.
What is Ozone IV Therapy?
Ozone therapy is a treatment that infuses ozone into the body to increase oxygen levels. The first ozone generator was created in the 1800s. Medical ozone therapy became popular during World War I when doctors applied ozone gas to wounds to promote the body’s natural disease-fighting power, reduce inflammation, and kill bacteria. Medical ozone has been used to treat medical conditions and disinfect medical supplies for over one hundred years. Ozone therapy involves the following:
- Blood is drawn from a vein.
- This blood is placed in a special container.
- Ozone is infused into the drawn blood using a special ozone generator machine and oxygen tanks, which generate ozone gas.
- The drawn blood, now filled with ozone, is infused back into the body via an IV infusion.
- Ozone is released into the body, increasing oxygen concentration, which promotes cell health.
Benefits of Ozone IV Therapy
Ozone is a powerful detoxifier that attaches to and eliminates bacteria, fungi, parasites, mold, yeast, and viruses. It may also assist our bodies in getting rid of toxic metals. It may stimulate the immune system to fight off infections and quiet an overactive immune system associated with autoimmune diseases. Many holistic healthcare providers use ozone therapy to promote health and wellness.*
