6 FAQs About Ozone Therapy
It can be very distressing and frustrating to feel under the weather and not quite like yourself, only to come up against stumbling blocks when trying to get answers from your GP or traditional healthcare solutions.
When you’re unable to get an accurate diagnosis and, therefore, find yourself struggling to identify an appropriate form of treatment, it only serves to exacerbate the situation… often to the detriment of your mental and emotional health, as well as your physical health.
There are other options, however, if you feel as though you’ve exhausted conventional medicine and you may want to look into the benefits of more holistic therapies (backed by science), such as natural therapy and naturopathy.
You’ll find that there are many avenues of support to investigate, but one medical advancement that could be beneficial to enhancing your health and general wellbeing is Ozone Therapy.
But what exactly is this? What does this treatment involve?
To help you decide if this is the most appropriate route for you to go down right now, here are some of the more frequently asked questions we hear at London Natural Therapies.
This should point you in the right direction, but you can always get in touch with the team here if you need any further help or advice.
What is Ozone Therapy?
This treatment uses ozone gas (O3) to improve oxygen delivery and support your body’s natural healing and regenerative processes.
It helps the body to heal through a process known as hormesis, activating stress responses in the body so that threats can be dealt with, such as the repairing of existing damage.
Ozone is a pro-oxidant substance, which is also naturally produced by the body and as such can kill pathogens on impact, it also has direct immune activation properties and so on.
What are Passes?
A Pass is how many times blood is drawn through the Ozone machine and infused with O3 before returning to the body. A 5 Pass is five times, a 10 pass is ten times and so on. The more passes carried out, the greater the concentration of O3 in the blood.
How often can you have Ozone Therapy?
The treatment programme will depend on the health condition you’re managing. This will be discussed during your initial consultation and the appropriate number of sessions recommended. Typically, treatments take place once or twice a week, with three to five sessions administered, with follow-ups thereafter to monitor progress.
How long do Ozone Therapy sessions take?
Session length will depend on what kind of Pass you’re being administered. A 5 Pass, for example, should take between 30 minutes, whereas a 10 Pass generally takes about 60 minutes.
We provide 5, 10, 20 and 30 Pass Ozone therapy options and we advise starting with a 10 Pass so as not to overwhelm the body with toxin release.
What are the benefits of Ozone Therapy?
There are many potential benefits to be reaped from this form of treatment, including:
– Improved circulation
– Reduced inflammation
– Elimination of pathogens
– Reduced pain
– Accelerated wound healing
– Immune system support
– Detoxification support
– Increased metabolism
– Improved cellular respiration and regeneration
– Stem cell activation
Will Ozone Therapy affect any medication I’m taking?
One of the most appealing aspects of Ozone Therapy is that it’s very safe to administer and it doesn’t typically interact with any other medication. However, it is not typically advised to have this form of treatment if you’re taking an ACE inhibitor.
Are there any side effects to consider with Ozone Therapy?
As a cutting-edge science, potent treatment, the detox can be strong, so we recommend a detox IV to support the body. Drinking plenty of filtered water before and after treatment, along with rest and a healthy balanced diet is recommended as well as taking binders such as chlorella, to support any further detox symptoms.
