The scientifically proven mechanisms of action of ozone therapy bring along a series of positive effects in the body:
- Improves Circulation: It increases blood flow properties, relaxes vessel walls, and helps transport more oxygen to tissues.
- Strengthens The Immune System: It increases the body’s resistance to infections and helps balance the immune system.
- A Powerful Disinfectant: Especially in local applications, it directly inactivates bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
- Reduces Inflammation: It suppresses inflammatory processes in the body, helping reduce edema and swelling.
- Relieves Pain: It helps remove substances that cause pain and activates the body’s natural pain-relief systems.
- Accelerates Wound Healing: By improving circulation and triggering the release of growth factors, it speeds up the repair of damaged tissues.
- Provides A Detox Effect: It helps the body eliminate toxins and supports a faster metabolism.
- Provides General Vitality And A Sense Of Well-Being: By increasing cellular energy production, it helps combat chronic fatigue and creates a sense of vitality in patients.
Areas Of Use
Ozone therapy is defined within the scope of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health’s “Regulation on Traditional and Complementary Medicine Practices” and is applied in specific conditions by authorized physicians. The main areas of use are as follows:
- Circulatory Disorders: Wounds due to critical vascular occlusions in cases where there is no chance of revascularization (re-establishing blood flow).
- Diabetic Foot And Non-Healing Wounds: Infected diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores (decubitus ulcers), and chronic wounds with delayed healing.
- Musculoskeletal System Diseases: Fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, joint and tendon injuries, and pain relief in lumbar and cervical disc herniations (referred pain related to vertebral and disc pathologies).
- Infectious Diseases: As supportive treatment in antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, viral diseases such as Herpes Zoster (shingles), and fungal infections.
- Rheumatic And Autoimmune Diseases: As an immune-regulating and symptom-relieving support in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.
- As Supportive Care In Cancer Treatment: It is used to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (fatigue, nausea, etc.), strengthen the immune system, and improve the patient’s quality of life.
- Neurological Diseases: It is used to relieve symptoms in conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain.
- Skin Diseases And Aesthetics: It is used in skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as in cellulite treatment, skin rejuvenation, and scar reduction.
