Ozone therapy modalities

Ozone has its origin in electrical discharges in the atmosphere, but on a medical level, ozone gas is produced from an oxygen cylinder and a generator that causes an electrical discharge and converts the oxygen into ozone.

It can be said that Germany reigns supreme in the ozone application for medical purposes. Between Germany, France and Austria more than 8,000 doctors use ozone therapy daily. In Spain there are very few of us, due to a lack of knowledge. Biosalud Day Hospital has been an expert in this therapy for many years.

Great Autohemotherapy

Ozone has the virtue of release more oxygen into cells when it comes into contact with blood or red blood cellsThis is the moment when they absorb more oxygen. This occurs in one of the modalities of ozone therapy, the Great Autohemotherapy. Between 150 and 300 cubic centimetres of blood are extracted from a person, deposited in a bag, ozone is introduced into the bag and the ozonised blood is then re-injected. Dr. Mariano Bueno, founder of Biosalud Day Hospital, explains it very well in the following video: "The patient, the medical ozone machine and a small sterile vacuum bottle, from which 150 to 200 cubic centimetres of venous blood is drawn, create a closed circuit. The circuit between the patient and this bottle is then closed. Subsequently, the circuit between the ozone equipment and this bottle is opened and this bottle is filled with another 200 or 250 cubic centimetres of ozone, with a determined concentration, after the patient's free radicals have been studied".

According to ACEOOT among the modalities of application of ozone therapy are listed:

• Intranal or rectal,
• intravaginal (to treat vaginal yeast infections),
• the great autohemotherapy and
• small autohaemotherapy (autotransfusion with only 20-25cc of ozone, which is injected intramuscularly),
• intramuscular or subcutaneous injections,
• gassing in bags
• ozonated water. In the latter case it can be used to wash wounds or ingested to treat gastric ulcers caused by "Helicobacter pylori".

Medical applications of ozone

Ozone has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, oxidative stress modulating, peripheral circulation improving and tissue oxygenation properties. This determines the applications it will have. There are many pathologies in which ozone is effective, either alone or as a complementary treatment.

The concentrations and mode of application vary enormously depending on the problem to be treated, because the concentration of ozone establishes the type of biological effect it produces and the mode of application marks its scope of action in the organism.

Thus, pathologies with inflammatory, infectious, ischaemic and oxidative stress disorders can benefit from ozone therapy..

In conclusion, and as we say when explaining in video what is ozone therapyOzone therapy is one of the most interesting techniques in the field of Biological Medicine, either applied exclusively or to enhance the effect of other techniques. Its indications are very extensive, as Today's human organism can always do with an increase in cellular oxygenation, cleansing of toxins from the intercellular environment and, in short, a stimulation of the immune system.".
