4 Astonishing Benefits of O3 Gas Therapy For Your Health

O3 is the technical term for ozone because ozone molecules are made of three oxygen atoms. O2 is the technical term for oxygen because it’s made of two oxygen atoms. 

O2 in its gas form is what we breathe and need in order to survive. O3 in its gas form is never safe to breathe, but it has some astonishing benefits when it’s administered therapeutically via the bloodstream or other safe passageways into your body. 
‍

Here are just four of the benefits of O3 gas therapy:

1) O3 therapy helps you use every ounce of oxygen to your advantage 

Not everybody knows that it is possible for your body to misuse the oxygen you breathe in, even to the point of causing cellular damage. But when medical grade O3 gas comes into contact with your cells, it increases oxygen efficiency (your body’s ability to use oxygen for metabolism). 

So rather than just giving you more oxygen, O3 gas therapy helps you utilize that oxygen to your ultimate advantage. 

There are two major types of O3 gas therapy: systemic and local. 

Systemic O3 therapy treats your entire body from the inside out. The biggest advantage of O3 therapy over traditional medicine is that while drugs treat the symptoms of disease and sickness, O3 gas therapy treats the root of poor health at the cellular level. 

Two examples of systemic O3 gas therapy are IV ozone therapy and rectal insufflation. These therapies

• mediate oxidative stress
•  balance the immune system 
• optimize the way your cells use oxygen

Local O3 therapy treatments address a specific area of the body such as the limbs, ears, skin or mouth. More on that later.

2) O3 gas can disinfect sores and non-healing wounds 

Ozone gas is one of the most powerful antiseptics known to man. Medical ozone therapy has been around for more than 150 years, even used by doctors during World War I to treat and disinfect wounds. Integrative practitioners today use O3 gas to treat open sores and non-healing wounds in three similar local O3 therapy treatments:

1. Limb bagging for a wound on the arm, hand, leg or foot 
2. Ozone cupping for a small section of skin on the body
3. Ozone oil, creams and gels for anything from acne to MRSA. The topical application of these ozonated products are able to effectively treat things that are even resistant to antibiotics. 

 3) O3 gas therapy can help eliminate and prevent infections 

An imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants known as oxidative stress is often the result of infection. Your body’s cells naturally produce both free radicals and antioxidants. But when your immune system is working hard to fight off infection, the free radicals can sometimes outnumber the antioxidants leading to long-term oxidative stress. 

Short bursts of oxidative stress (like exercise and intermittent fasting) are good for your body and ultimately benefit your ability to fight off sickness in the long run. Just like exercise and a healthy diet, O3 therapy stimulates the Nrf2 pathway (which boosts antioxidant production). 

IV O3 gas therapy (autohemotherapy) can help get rid of infection by boosting your immune system’s natural defense mechanisms to mediate oxidative stress. Many people successfully heal from infection after a few rounds of autohemotherapy in an integrative clinic.

 The downside of this particular method is that it’s expensive and can’t be done on a daily basis (unless you’re willing to travel to a clinic and pay for the procedure and doctor every day). 

Rectal insufflation, the other systemic O3 therapy, can help prevent infection from happening in the first place. It has the same immune system-boosting, oxidative stress-mediating properties as autohemotherapy, but it can be done daily and inexpensively. It also doesn’t require a clinic or a practitioner. 

4) Many O3 therapy treatments can be done at home 

Some O3 gas therapy treatments (namely anything involving an IV) should only be done in a clinic by a trained integrative practitioner. They may be expensive, but they’re well worth the cost. 

But there are several different O3 therapy treatments that can be done in the comfort of your own home for around $1/day. All it takes is the right equipment (we recommend Simply O3 for everything but the oxygen tank) and proper education/training (downloading our free guide is a great start). 

Here’s a list of O3 gas therapies that can be done at home:

• Rectal insufflation for systemic benefits 
• Ear insufflation for ear and sinus infections
• Vaginal insufflation for local infections in the vagina
• Limb bagging for sores, wounds and lesions on your arms, hands, legs or feet 
• Ozone cupping for the same things as limb bagging, but on the torso or other areas limb bags can’t reach 
• Ozone water for disinfecting, swishing or drinking
• Ozone oil for rubbing into skin or breathing ozonides
