OZONE THERAPY
What is Ozone Therapy and how does it work? Ozone therapy is a regenerative therapy and refers to the process of administering ozone gas into the body to treat a disease/condition or wound. It is a natural solution that utilizes the body’s own healing process to repair damaged tissue, and bridges the gap between non-operative treatments and surgery. Ozone is a colourless gas made up of three atoms of oxygen (O3). Since 1870s ozone has been used to treat medical conditions by stimulating the immune system. Furthermore it has been used to disinfect and treat diseases and conditions. Ozone Therapy stimulates the uptake of oxygen by stimulating the DPG (diphosphoglycerate) enzyme. The DPG controls the movement of oxygen from red blood cells to body tissues. It supports the release of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule so that it can be used by the cell. When cells get the optimal amount of oxygen and function properly, they help to prevent or inhibit disease. What are the claimed benefits of Ozone therapy? n Anti-aging n Strengthens the immune system n Detoxifies and neutralises viruses, bacteria and fungi n Kills cancer cells n It is anti-inflammatory and relieves pain n Expedites post-surgery healing n Decreases fat / improves metabolism n Improves blood circulation
When should one have ozone therapy? The human body is an exceptional and complex machine. Like all machines the body needs servicing (dusting, changing of oil, etc) to ensure optimum functioning. There is no stipulated time to have ozone therapy. However, it is better to have regular therapy to boost wellness and prevent infections. There are notable hot spots such as winter season which elevate the infection levels and as such preventative therapy is encouraged. Is it in any way painful? Ozone therapy has been utilised and heavily studied for more than a century. Its effects are proven, consistent, safe and with minimal and preventable side effects. Ozone therapy is not in any way painful. How long does a session take? A typical ozone therapy session last 30 minutes. Is it expensive? While a single session may appear costly to the average household, the longterm health benefits far outweigh the financial cost. Moreover, our interest in the wellbeing of our local customers has meant that our prices are cheaper than in most places in the UK. We at Ozone Therapy Wellness Centre are very compassionate and it is reason we invested in the technology because we believe in health and wellness for all and as such our prices reflect that.
