What is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone gas has been widely used in medicine for treating diseases for over 150 years in Europe, Russia, Latin America, and the USA. Therapeutic treatments using ozone gas, an active oxygen molecule, are called "ozone therapy". Although it is a very old form of treatment, discovering its various beneficial effects every day brings it back into the spotlight. Ozone therapy, applied in many countries from the USA to Japan, is among the most popular medical applications in recent years.

What Needs to Be Done?
The side effects of ozone therapy are almost negligible. Reported side effects so far are local complications due to application errors. In some cases, ozone therapy may be contraindicated. These conditions include glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme deficiency, especially early pregnancy, patients undergoing angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor therapy, hyperthyroidism, bleeding disorders, uncontrolled cardiovascular diseases, and asthma patients who react to ozone.
Before any form of ozone therapy is administered, be sure to inform the doctor performing the therapy about the medications you are taking and any special diets you are on, even if they have recently ended. You should only discontinue these if advised by your doctor. You should inform your doctor about any hereditary diseases, allergies, and other complaints, and whether you have been treated for these in the past or are currently being treated.
Ozone therapy is a low-risk method that is often complementary, supportive, and reconstructive alongside standard medical treatments. You can visit our center for more detailed information about ozone therapy applications.
