How to Avoid Complications While Using Ozone Therapy

While it's a relatively new practice in the United States, Europeans have been using ozone therapy for several decades. There are various techniques involved in using the treatment; but the procedure essentially entails the administration of concentrated levels of ozone into various parts of the body. Purportedly, ozone treatments subdue or cure a broad spectrum of disorders and illnesses, including fibromyalgia, diabetes, cancer, blood disorders and even severe wounds. While rare, complications are certainly possible with ozone therapy. Follow these steps to ensure your safety.

Avoid Complications While Performing At-Home Ozone Therapy

• 1

  Consult a professional ozone practitioner before starting any at-home ozone treatments.

  Only purchase properly-diluted ozone materials. Hydrogen peroxide and ozone are highly toxic in their purified states.

• 3

  Make sure you're only administering proper doses. Never exceed recommendations.

• 4

  Avoid using ozone bagging techniques on your face and head. Keep ozone materials away from your eyes, mouth, nose and lungs at all times.

• 5

  Use oxygenated olive oil (available at some alternative medical supply stores) in lieu of more dangerous ozone bags and generators.

• 6

  Humidify all ozone materials before administering them to any part of the body.

• 7

  Pay close attention to the amount of ozone and the concentration of the materials you purchase. Choose only mid-range concentrations for home use.

  Only seek treatment from licensed ozone therapists and professional practitioners. Feel free to ask for referrals before commencing treatment.

  Administer ozone into orifices such as the ear and rectum only with the supervision or direction of an oxygen therapy professional.
