How is this gas therapeutic and so versatile? Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms as compared to an oxygen molecule which is composed of two oxygen atoms. The three-atom ozone molecule is highly reactive allowing the oxygen to enter the tissues easily. It has been used for many inflammatory and immune conditions for over 100 years.
Ozone therapy can be traced back to the late 19th century when it gained popularity primarily in Europe and later in other parts of the world. In the late 1800's ozone became present in the US and was used to treat wounds during World War I. Ozone, in its natural state, acts as a powerful oxidant, playing a protective role in the Earth's stratosphere by filtering harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Ozone therapy is a therapeutic approach that involves the controlled administration of ozone gas (03) into the body to promote healing and wellness. Ozone, a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms, has unique properties that can be harnessed for medical purposes. Historically, ozone therapy has been utilized for its antimicrobial properties, but its application has expanded to include various health conditions due to its potential to stimulate oxygen metabolism and modulate the immune system.
