OZONE THERAPY: AN EXTRA SHOT OF OXYGEN
What actually happens in your body when your blood is enriched with oxygen? A lot: Your heart and circulation are relieved, inflammation is inhibited and numerous other complaints are alleviated. Here is an insight into how ozone therapy works and when it is used.
THERAPY WITH REACTIVE OXYGEN
Ozone (O3 ) is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms. The binding forces between the atoms are not particularly strong. It tends to lose an oxygen atom and switch to the much more stable molecular variant O2. Ozone therapy takes advantage of this reactivity: A small amount of blood is taken from the patient and and exposed to medical ozone. The ozone immediately releases one of its three oxygen molecules and oxygenates the blood. The enriched blood is then returned to the patient’s bloodstream. This is usually done via infusions or direct injections (e.g. in the case of joint problems).

POSITIVE EFFECTS OF OZONE THERAPY
Ozone therapy has gotten more and more attention in recent years, not least because of its soothing effect on long-Covid. Depending on the type of treatment, many different positive effects can be achieved:
1. Improvement of blood circulation
For aterial circulatory disorders, arteriosclerosis, feeling cold and pain in the legs
2. Improvement of oxygen supply
For dizziness, tinnitus, visual disturbances, concentration disorders, states of exhaustion
3. Relief of orthopaedic complaints
For arthritis, rheumatic diseases, joint pain
4. Relief of respiratory problems
For asthma, long-Covid, chronic bronchitis
5. Improved gut health
For inflammatory bowel diseases, intestinal fistulas, and detox support (heavy metal elimination)
6. Strengthening of the immune system
For immunodeficiency, chronic inflammation, bacterial, viral and fungal infections, and for support cancer therapies
7. Activation of endogenous antioxidants and radical scavengers
For inflammatory processes, vascular diseases, ageing processes
OZONE THERAPY AT ORIGINAL FX MAYR
Ozone therapy has gotten more and more attention in recent years, not least because of its soothing effect on long-Covid. Depending on the type of treatment, many different positive effects can be achieved:
Immune-boosting and circulation-enhancing: After drawing 50 to 100 ml of blood, it is enriched with ozone and then returned to the body via infusion.
For an intense detox effect: After taking 200 ml of blood, it is enriched with ozone and then returned to the body via infusion.
Pain relieving and anti-inflammatory: After drawing a small amount of blood (depending on the size of the joint), it is enriched with ozone and then injected directly into the affected joint.
This gentle variant for intestinal diseases does not require drawing any blood: At the end of the colon hydrotherapy (gentle rinsing of the large intestine), a gaseous ozone-oxygen mixture is introduced into the end of the large intestine, which promotes the development of the intestinal flora. Painless, fast and gentle.
