Ozone Therapy

Ozone is a gas called O3, which is formed by the combination of 3 oxygen molecules. Ozone, which is not normally found in the air we breathe, is found in the upper layers of the atmosphere.

The ozone gas we use medically; It is obtained by converting oxygen molecules into ozone gas with the help of a device called Ozone Generator. Ozone has a unique smell. The ozone concentration that we use medically by being produced with an ozone generator is between 3-5%. Thanks to the Medical Ozone Generator, we can use it in the treatment of various diseases by adjusting the amount (dose) of Ozone.

The 2 most important features of ozone are; It is a good antioxidant and a good disinfectant.

Ozone Therapy and Effect Mechanism

In ozone treatments, it is aimed that tissues and cells use oxygen in the most effective way. It is possible to ozonize substances such as water and oil, and in the same vein, blood can be ozonized like water. When the blood cells, called red blood cells, whose task is to carry oxygen in the human body, encounter ozone, many changes occur in these cells and therefore in our body:

	Red blood cells that encounter ozone gain elasticity and an increase in blood fluidity occurs in areas where ozone is encountered.
	There is an increase in the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells that encounter ozone.
	There is an increase in the ability of red blood cells, whose main task in the body is to carry oxygen, to release oxygen to the tissues.
	With the encounter with ozone, intracellular respiration accelerates and thus, an increase in energy production required for cell functions occurs.
	Ozone is a powerful antioxidant substance. In this regard, ozone helps to clean the chemical substances in our body by increasing the detoxifying feature of the skin..

How Ozone Therapy Applications Are Made ?

There are various methods in the application of ozone therapy. Which of these application methods will be performed is decided after the necessary evaluations about the patient are made.

Major Therapy

Major therapy is the process of ozonizing the blood taken into bottles or medical blood bags in line with the evaluations and giving it back to the circulation. The materials used are disposable and completely sterile, resistant to ozone gas.

	With these applications, which last approximately 20-30 minutes, the blood is provided to take more oxygen from the lungs and leave it to the tissues.
	Major therapy activates the antioxidant system and ensures that the blood and organs are cleared of oxygen radicals.
	Through the ozonized blood, the immune system is regulated and strengthened.
	The blood vessels, which are the main elements of the circulatory system, open with the applied ozone and this makes circulation easier.

Minor Therapy

In ozone minor therapy, a determined amount of blood is injected into the muscle after receiving ozone. It is very effective in strengthening the immune system.

Ozone minor therapy can be used safely in many conditions such as allergic disorders and dermatological diseases.

Rectal Ozone Therapy

These are applications that are carried out by giving it to the intestines by the rectal route.

In cases where major ozone therapy is not performed by rectal administration, ozone gas is administered rectally.

Ozone Bagging and Cup

Ozone bagging therapy is the process of applying ozone gas to the non-healing wound areas of the person and to the locally problematic area in case of burns.

Ozone bagging and cupping removes the foci of infection.

It accelerates the healing of wound or damaged tissue.

When ozone bagging and cupping is applied together with major therapy, especially in patients with circulatory problems, very effective and successful results emerge.

Intra-articular Ozone Therapy

It is the process of applying ozone gas into the joint. İntra-articular Ozone Therapy are ozone applications carried out into the joint in cases of rheumatism and arthrosis.

With the ozone applied into the joint, it is ensured that the cartilage tissue is nourished and the cartilage tissue repairs itself.
