Ozone Therapy
Ozone has been used for medical purposes in many developed countries for about 150 years and has been used in our country for 30 years. Ozone Therapy is now supported by the Ministry of Health.
Traditional Complementary Medicine. It is NOT an Alternative Medicine Method, but a Complementary Medicine Method. This means that Ozone Therapy is applied in addition to the treatment methods recommended by modern medicine. It is now an irrefutable scientific fact that it increases the effectiveness of the treatment methods in question. After making this determination, it is useful to give a brief information about Ozone. O3 (Ozone); It is a colorless gas with a unique pungent odor. Ozone is a form of an indispensable element for life, which we know very well, with a different molecular structure. You know; the element in question is Oxygen. Oxygen consists of 2 Oxygen atoms as a molecular structure and shows its activity as “O2”. Ozone, on the other hand, consists of 3 Oxygen atoms in its molecular structure and shows its activity as “O3”. This difference of 1 oxygen atom allows it to be used in a wide range of fields in medicine and industry. Since our subject is Ozone Therapy, which is used in medicine, it is useful to give a brief information on this subject.
HOW IS OZONE THERAPY APPLIED?
1.Major Autohemotherapy: It is a systemic application that affects the whole body. It is ozone therapy applied by taking 100-150 ml of the patient’s blood, mixing it with ozone gas in specially produced ozone sets and giving the same blood back to the patient. Ozone gas is not given directly through the vein, the blood is enriched with ozone and is based on the principle of giving blood that has become very rich in oxygen. It is the most commonly applied Ozone Therapy method.
2.Minor Autohemotherapy: Again, it is a systemic application that affects the whole body. 2-3 ml of blood taken from the patient himself is treated with ozone gas and then injected into the muscle from the hip or arm. It is the second most frequently applied Ozone Therapy method. It is usually applied together with Major Autohemotherapy. It is an application method that activates the immune system. It increases body resistance against bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections.
3.Intra-articular Ozone Therapy: It is a local application that only affects the area where it is applied. It is an Ozone Therapy method based on the principle of delivering ozone gas directly into the joint with appropriate injectors and needle tips, primarily knee, vertebrae and elbow joints. It is a very effective Ozone Therapy method in diseases characterized by pain and limitation of movement due to intra-articular inflammation and degeneration, especially rheumatic diseases.
4.Rectal Application: It is an ozone therapy method applied by administering ozone gas at the appropriate dose and pressure through the rectal route. In fact, although this form of application is a systemic effective application that affects the whole body, it is a preferred Ozone Therapy method especially in chronic inflammatory diseases in the gastrointestinal system due to its local effect in the application area. After summarizing the most intensive application methods above, other Ozone Therapy application methods applied relatively less frequently and by related specialties are as follows; Vaginal Insufflation (Ozone gas application into the vagina), Ear Insufflation (Ozone gas application into the ear), Nasal Insufflation (Ozone gas application into the nose), Bagging, Cupping, Subcutaneous and Skin Lesion Injection, Ozone Sauna, Ozone Cream, Ozone Oil, Ozone Water are local Ozone Therapy methods.
IN WHICH DISEASES CAN OZONE THERAPY BE APPLIED AS A COMPLEMENTARY TREATMENT? HOW DOES IT WORK?
Ozone Therapy provides its effects on the body mainly with the following features;
1.Oxygenation; increasing the amount of oxygen in tissues,
2.Regulation; hormones, enzymes, etc. that ensure the harmonious functioning of the systems in the body, ensuring that the elements work in balance,
3.Regeneration; cell and tissue renewal,
4.Rejuvenation; the creation of a more effective and younger structure to replace dysfunctional cells and tissues,
5.Anti-inflammatory effect; potential to accelerate wound healing,
6.Antiseptic-Disinfectant Effect; lethal against almost all microbes,
Ozone Therapy with these features;
- Chronic Fatigue is the most common condition where Ozone Therapy is applied. It is very effective in the formation of General Well-being with its oxygenation feature. Detox; With Ozone Therapy, the blood level of antioxidants and other harmful wastes accumulated as waste products in the body is reduced and many serious diseases that may occur due to them in the future are prevented.
- It is used in Anti Aging, Skin Renewal and Hair Treatments due to the Regenerative and Rejuvenative (rejuvenating) effect of Ozone Therapy.
- Reducing Blood Fats and Preventing Obesity Ozone Therapy accelerates intracellular energy metabolism, accelerates the rapid burning of carbohydrates, especially sugar, taken through nutrition, and reduces its accumulation in the body as fat. This is effective in the treatment by operating the weight gain / loss mechanism correctly.
- Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Resistance Ozone Therapy increases the effectiveness of the hormone Insulin, which allows sugar to enter the cell to be used as energy. Thus, it prevents the accumulation of sugar in the body as fat. With this feature, it greatly increases the effect of oral antidiabetics and insulin.
- Joint and Muscle Diseases Due to its anti-inflammatory effect, Ozone Therapy is one of the most effective conditions.
- Cardiovascular and Vascular Diseases With Ozone Therapy, neovascularization (new vessel formation) increases in all organs in the body. This ensures the protection of all vital organs, especially the heart and brain, caused by vascular occlusion. As a result, it reduces death and disability due to these diseases. In addition, with Ozone Therapy, fat metabolism is regulated and the level of blood fats (cholesterol) decreases. In parallel with this, it reduces the formation of atheroma plaques that accumulate in the arteries and cause their blockage over time, thus causing malnutrition and even death of the tissue or organ fed by that vessel. This reduces the occurrence of fatal vascular diseases, especially Heart Attacks.
- Infections Ozone is one of the most effective antiseptics and disinfectants known. It is very effective in the treatment of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites and in the prevention and treatment of local and systemic infections caused by them. In addition, Ozone Therapy increases the number of White Blood Cells, the most important cells of the Immune System, and the quality and quantity of defense system elements produced by them.
- Cancer; It is a known scientific fact that high dose Vitamin C reduces or stops the proliferation of cancer cells.
- Allergic Reactions and Asthma; One of the most important effects of Ozone Therapy is the regulation of excessive and unbalanced functioning of the immune system that causes allergy formation. Ozone Therapy is a very suitable complementary medicine method with its Regulative (Regulatory) feature.
- Blood and Circulatory Diseases Ozone Therapy, which increases the production and flexibility of red blood cells, which are responsible for carrying oxygen in the body, allows oxygen to reach the most extreme tissues. Ozone Therapy has an important place in the prevention and treatment of tissue and organ blood supply disorders.
WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE OZONE THERAPY?
1. The most important contraindication is definitely not Ozone Therapy in those with “Broad Bean Allergy” called FAVISM.
2. Hyperthyroidism
3. Alcoholism
4. 6 months after a heart attack or stenting
5. Severe anemia or bleeding disorder
6. Recurrent Pancreatitis
7. It is beneficial not to apply Ozone Therapy in pregnant and breastfeeding.
