Home > Ozone therapy

In Ozone therapy the gas Ozone is used at carefully controlled levels. It is used in alternative medicine for healing, and has broad applications as a therapy. Ozone can be applied as a body therapy in many ways, including injection, transdermal application, insufflation (leaking the gas into the body), and breathing (bubbled through oil). Ozone use and research for so called "ozone therapy" is relatively popular in Germany and there is also use in Cuba and is known to have been studied in the USSR with reports of research still continuing in the fomer members of the Union.

In the USA ozone therapy is illegal, as the FDA has not approved its use on humans. It is considered to be quackery by the mainstream medical and science communities. At least one death has been attributed to application of ozone through insufflation in the USA. Ozone has been found to convert cholesterol in the blood stream to plaque (which causes hardening and narrowing of arteries). Ozone has been studied extensively, and found to be carcinogenic to some animals (and not others), and a mutagen to some bacteria. On the plus side, ozone is produced by white blood cells and the roots of marigolds to assist in fighting attacks on foreign bodies.

OzoneOzone (O) is a molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms. At standard temperature and pressure Ozone is a blue gas. Ozone forms a dark blue liquid, below -112 °C, and a dark blue solid, below -193 °C. Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent, and is unstable,	Ozone layerThe ozone layer is that part of the Earth's stratosphere which contains ozone. The total quantity of ozone in the ozone layer is not very large; if just the ozone were compressed to the pressure of the air at sea level, it would be only a few millimeters	Ozone depletionOzone depletion refers to reductions in the amount of ozone in the stratosphere. There was a reduction of approximately 5% detected from 1979 to 1990. The ozone hole refers to annual, temporary reductions in the polar regions, where much larger losses in
