Ozone therapy stands out as an alternative method for treating some health problems. However, like every treatment method, ozone therapy must be aware of some limitations and unsuitable situations.
Ozone therapy is not recommended for certain groups such as pregnant women, those with excessive thyroid activity, those with excessive blood clotting problems, and those who regularly use blood thinners. Additionally, due to its blood thinning effect, it should be administered with caution in individuals with bleeding disorders and those with serious liver problems.
What is Ozone Therapy? Who Does It Apply To?
Ozone therapy is an alternative medicine method known as the use of ozone gas for medical purposes. Ozone (O3) is a molecule formed by the combination of three oxygen atoms and has antioxidant properties. This treatment method aims to treat various health problems by introducing ozone into the body.
Generally, ozone gas is applied by injecting it into the oil, dissolving it in water, or using ozone-enriched oils, creams, and liquids.
Ozone therapy is generally used for purposes such as strengthening the immune system, increasing circulation, reducing inflammation and controlling some infections. It has also been associated with accelerating wound healing, relieving skin problems, and anti-aging effects. However, ozone therapy has not yet been fully proven scientifically and some health experts have warned that it should be applied in a controlled manner.
