What is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy is the use of ozone gas for therapeutic purposes. Ozone therapy, which has been used since World War II, first entered the field of medicine as a result of the discovery of its surprising healing properties after being applied to diabetic feet, burns and non-healing wounds. There are ways to use it by injection, orally, through the intestine or through a bag.
Our body experiences thousands of metabolic events during the day. In addition to the produced nutrients, useful elements and energy, wastes are also formed. While these wastes accumulated in our body can be easily removed from the body through sweat, urine and feces at early ages, it may not be easy to excrete these wastes in advanced ages.
On top of that, the toxins formed in our body gradually increase with cigarettes, drugs, treatments, radiation, sun rays, bad foods and environmental factors, and our body turns into a swamp, so to speak. All medical systems developed in the world focus on "how to remove toxins from the body". Some try to detox the toxin pool in the body with herbal cures, some with food, and some with mud baths. Here, ozone therapy is also a detox method.
So What Happens When Toxin Accumulates? The energy flow in our body is blocked. If we start from the brain, fatigue, weakness, restlessness and depressive symptoms occur. Due to the esophagus, problems such as eating disorders, digestive disorders such as stomach ulcers and gastritis, laziness and defecation disorders in the intestines, eczema on the skin, dry skin and skin aging, and calcification in the joints occur. If this energy distribution is repaired, a significant improvement can be achieved in all these problems. This is where ozone therapy comes into play.
