Ozone therapy for menstruation. Intravenous ozone therapy, the essence of the technique, contraindications

More than a hundred years ago, the poet declared his love for the May thunderstorm, and since then these romantic lines have been repeated many times by millions of people who also love not just rainy weather, but thunderstorms, and precisely in early May. Why is there such a special attitude to thunderstorms?

Perhaps because it is a thunderstorm, and not any rain at all, that gives a feeling of purity and renewal, a feeling of energy and even an upsurge of strength. And many also like the smell that is felt in the air only after a thunderstorm - they even say that it smells like freshness ...

In all these cases, we are talking about ozone. And the person, having appreciated the freshness and purity of the air after the light and the surge of energy, even found the possibility of ozone treatment. It would seem, what is it about this ozone therapy, because it's just air? However, not everything is so simple, and even ozone therapy has contraindications.

More about ozone

To understand the contraindications for ozone therapy, you first need to consider in more detail what ozone is.

Ozone is a gas that is generated in the Earth's atmosphere by electrical discharge during a thunderstorm. As a matter of fact, ozone can be obtained with any other electrical discharge, but a thunderstorm is a completely natural source of ozone, which has existed for as long as thunderstorms thunder over the planet.

If we turn to chemistry, then ozone is almost the same oxygen, however, under the influence of an electric discharge, three molecules of diatomic oxygen are converted into two molecules of triatomic oxygen. As for the formation of ozone, it is formed when exposed to an electric discharge or under the influence of solar radiation of the ultraviolet spectrum.

Although the smell that appeared after a thunderstorm was admired by people for thousands of years, ozone was mentioned and described in science only in 1785, when the Dutch physicist Martin van Marum investigated a recently invented electric machine and after a series of studies and experiments came to the conclusion that an electric spark , which is obtained as a result of an electric discharge, creates a kind of "electrical matter" from ordinary oxygen.

However, the name for the "electrical matter" discovered by the Dutchman was invented by Christian Friedrich Schonbein, a professor at the University of Basel, and it happened in 1840. But the assumption that this unknown matter is actually nothing but a form of oxygen appeared only in 1848. And only after almost two decades, in 1865, it was possible to determine the chemical formula of the smell of a thunderstorm, that is, ozone.

Everyone knows that ozone has a very recognizable smell, and even the very name of this gas comes from the Greek word that means "odorous".

Attention! A person picks up the smell of ozone when its concentration in the air is 0.05 mg / l, which is slightly less than the permissible for a person.

However, one should not be too deluded about ozone and consider it a kind of romantic attribute, since ozone is a very powerful oxidizing agent, and explosions are inevitable as a result of violent oxidative reactions involving ozone. Although it should be borne in mind that it is the strong oxidizing properties of ozone that are used for the treatment of drinking water (disinfection).

Nature cannot do without ozone: it is ozone, which is formed from atmospheric oxygen under the influence of solar radiation at an altitude of about twenty-five kilometers above the surface of the planet, that absorbs dangerous solar radiation and protects life on earth. Thus, the planet's ozone shield allows the Earth to take pride in the diversity of life forms.

Interesting! The concentration of ozone above the poles is higher than the concentration of ozone above the equator.

It should be noted that ozone protection is not so impenetrable - the thickness of the ozone layer practically does not exceed thirty meters, and this layer is very vulnerable to the effects of man-made pollution.

The ozone layer is actively destroyed by nitrogen monoxide NO, aerosols, and other inventions of mankind. As a result, the ozone layer over the Earth is getting thinner, bald spots - the so-called ozone holes - appear in it, and lethal UVC rays, sometimes simply called C-rays, have an increasing chance of reaching the earth's surface.

Interestingly, UVC rays are not even taken into account when creating sunscreens: firstly, it was always believed that they are reliably retained by the ozone layer above the planet and they do not reach the earth's surface; secondly, there is no protection from C-rays - they are deadly for all life on the planet.

And even the weakening of the ozone layer of the atmosphere has led to an increase in the growth of a variety of diseases, including (and especially) cancer, among which there is an increase in the incidence of skin cancer, which is practically not amenable to any treatment.

What else you need to know about ozone, especially assuming not only to inhale it deeply after a cheerful May thunderstorm?

Ozone is a gas that is considered to be the strongest oxidizing agent, which belongs to the first class of hazard (extremely dangerous substances), that is, it is a very corrosive substance that can not only cause corrosion, for example, of iron, but also corrode organic compounds.

Liquid disinfectant solutions based on ozone are considered almost the most powerful, and ozonizers with high concentrations of ozone are strictly prohibited for use in the presence of a person, since their action can provoke serious negative consequences for human health, ranging from headaches and increased fatigue to suppression of nervous activity and lung burns of varying intensity.

Attention! In a room where there is ozone (for example, a quartz lamp is working), if necessary, a person can be no more than a few minutes. This is dangerous!

Ozone therapy as a type of physiotherapy treatment

Ozone is widely used in medicine, both in traditional medicine and in non-traditional medicine.

Initially, ozone was used for disinfection, including disinfection of wounds, which was very widely used already during the First World War, and in the twenties of the twentieth century, they tried to use ozone to treat influenza.

After some time, the German doctor Albert Wolff began to use ozone in the practice of treating oncological diseases, including gynecological oncological diseases and rectal cancer.

In the middle of the twentieth century, Joachim Hansler, also a German doctor, invented a therapeutic ozonizer, which made it possible to use sufficiently high concentrations of ozone for therapeutic purposes, and in Italy, cosmetologists at about the same period received very good results from the use of ozone in cosmetology and aesthetic medicine.

Until today, the medical use of ozone remains highly controversial, which is explained by the presence of ozone not only useful (medicinal), but also harmful (toxic) properties.

Ozone therapy is officially recognized and widely used in many European countries, including Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Spain, where ozone therapy medical societies have even been established and operate.

Attention! Any medical procedure using ozone should only be performed by licensed physicians who are appropriately trained.

Therapeutic properties of ozone

As a result of numerous studies that have been carried out in research centers and in clinical institutions around the world, the beneficial therapeutic (medicinal) properties of ozone have been established and confirmed.

Firstly, repeatedly convincingly confirmed the bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal effects of ozone. It was these properties of ozone that were first used in medical practice.
Secondly, ozone increases blood oxygenation, that is, saturates the organs and systems of the body with oxygen.
Thirdly, one of the proven useful properties ozone - increased metabolism, that is, the activation of metabolic processes in the body.
Fourth, ozone has demonstrated its anti-inflammatory effects on the body.
Fifth Many studies have confirmed the ability of ozone to stimulate muscle and nerve relaxation, which causes pain relief.
At sixth, the use of ozone therapy can increase the amount of urea and the total amount of proteins in the blood.
Seventh, ozone therapy significantly activates the pro-oxidant systems of the body, as a result of which the immunomodulatory effect of ozone is provided.

Attention! For a complete evidence-based assessment of the effect of ozone therapy on human body randomized controlled clinical trials have not yet been conducted.

Modern medicine uses the ability of ozone to provide wound healing, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, as well as to destroy all types of bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa.

It has been repeatedly proven in the clinical practice of various medical centers around the world that with the systemic use of ozone therapy (we are talking about the intravenous administration of ozonized saline solution), ozone restores the transport of oxygen in the body; normalizes hormones and metabolic processes; removes intoxication of the body of almost any nature; improves blood microcirculation and dilates blood vessels; has a very positive effect on blood clotting.

Clinical practice and research results have repeatedly confirmed that the use of ozone therapy courses has allowed very many patients, including patients with chronic diseases, to reduce the use of drugs produced by the pharmaceutical industry, or even to cancel such chemical drugs. Of course, this is very important, especially given the rather high cost of many drugs.

Areas of application of ozone therapy

Based on the convincing results of the clinical application of ozone therapy in different countries and for different diagnosed diseases and conditions, at the present stage, ozone therapy is widely used in many fields of medicine.

V dermatology ozone therapy is used for monotherapy or in the complex therapy of herpetic lesions, seborrhea and eczema, alopecia (alopecia), neurodermatitis and atopic dermatitis of various etiologies, furunculosis, mycoses of various etiology and localization (including fungal nail lesions), for the treatment of problem skin.
Virology successfully uses ozone therapy to combat such complex infections as herpes infection, cytomegalovirus infection, Epstein-Barr virus, human papillomavirus infection, any hepatitis.
In gynecology with the help of ozone therapy, they successfully fight inflammatory diseases of the external and internal genital organs (with acute and chronic), with colpitis and vulvitis of any etiology. For the use of ozone therapy in gynecology, it is very important that the treatment does not need to be interrupted during menstrual bleeding.
In obstetric practice ozone therapy is successfully used for the prevention and treatment of intrauterine infection of the fetus; with the threat of miscarriage; for and ; with anemia of pregnant women; with postpartum infections and other problems.
Urology uses methods of ozone therapy for the treatment of urethritis and prostatitis of any etiology, as well as for the treatment and.
Gastroenterology uses ozone therapy to combat diseases such as gastritis with or with gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, colitis, hepatitis, including chronic, liver cirrhosis of various etiologies.
In therapeutic practice ozone therapy is quite successfully used to combat diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, rheumatism, arthritis and arthrosis, diabetes mellitus, upper respiratory tract, allergic diseases and even.
Cosmetology - one of the first fields of medicine that successfully uses ozone therapy, including for the correction of mimic wrinkles, for the treatment of cellulite, for the fight against fat deposits (the fight against local fat deposits is especially successful). In addition, ozone therapy is very successfully used to prevent unwanted age-related changes in the skin, especially the skin of the face and neck.

Modern ozone therapy methods

Modern clinical ozone therapy uses clinically proven methods that have been approved by many successful practicing doctors and medical centers:

Intravenous administration of ozonized saline solution.
Small autohemotherapy (introduction according to a certain scheme of small doses of one's own blood, pre-mixed with ozone for the blood to acquire even more pronounced medicinal properties) with an ozone-oxygen mixture (MAGOT).
Large autohemotherapy (own blood, pre-mixed with ozone, is injected to the patient drip for 30-40 minutes) with an ozone-oxygen mixture (BAGOT).
Patient drinking ozonated distilled water.
The patient's intake of internally and externally ozonized vegetable oil.
Rectal insufflation (administration into the rectum) of the ozone-oxygen mixture.
Aeration of the limbs or scalp (exposure to ozone).
Inhalation with ozonized water or oil.

Attention! The American Cancer Society believes that to date, there is insufficient evidence of the effectiveness of the use of ozone therapy in the treatment of any disease.

Contraindications for using the ozone therapy method

Ozone therapy as a method of treating many different diseases of various etiology and localization has undergone repeated clinical trials in many famous clinics and research institutions in many countries of the world, including clinics in Germany, Italy, France, the United States of America, Israel. This method has received many positive reviews from doctors and patients.

However, it should be remembered that ozone therapy has many absolute contraindications, when any procedures using ozone are strictly prohibited.

An absolute contraindication for the use of ozone therapy is a decrease in the ability of blood to coagulate, that is, any conditions of hypocoagulation, which include thrombocytopenia, bleeding from any internal organs, and a stroke.
Ozone therapy is contraindicated in myocardial infarction (acute form); in all other cases, the possible harm and the expected benefit from the application of the method should be correlated.
A decisive obstacle to the use of ozone therapy is acute alcoholic psychosis.
Ozone therapy is contraindicated if the patient is diagnosed with convulsive syndrome, that is, sudden frequent involuntary muscle contractions caused by pathological impulses of the central nervous system(CNS).
In no case should ozone therapy be used for thyrotoxicosis, that is, for a disease thyroid gland, in which the level of thyroid hormones in the blood rises.
A contraindication for the use of ozone therapy is considered to be acute pancreatitis, that is, the acute phase of any of the diseases and syndromes in which inflammation of the pancreas is observed.
Ozone therapy is strongly prohibited in case of individual intolerance to ozone.
In obstetrics, a contraindication for the use of ozone therapy is the possibility of bleeding of any intensity, since ozone can have a thrombolytic effect (increased blood flow).

Conclusions and summaries

Whether or not to use the achievements of modern medicine, everyone decides for himself, based on the study of all possible information and relying on the opinion and advice of the attending physician (maybe it is worth consulting with several competent specialists and listening to several points of view).

However, even if ozone therapy does not have to be used as a method of treatment, it is just wonderful to breathe in the incredibly clean, fresh and fragrant air, which you get only after a thunderstorm!

First, gusts of wind that came from nowhere, an instantly blackened sky, bright streaks of long lightning. A little later - the first May thunder, or an angry summer thunderstorm with lightning, or replacing one another and merging into an endless series of thunderstorms, or a fast thunderstorm rain ...

And then - a multi-colored and incredibly elegant rainbow over the whole sky and the smell that occurs only after a thunderstorm ... And even if you just breathe in the post-pink air, the mood will surely rise, new forces and new ideas appear. But of course, after all, a thunderstorm has always not just washed the ground and washed away everything superficial and unnecessary, but renewed, invigorated and called to enjoy life.

And, they say, all this is ozone!

Ozone therapy in Moscow

Ozone therapy in Moscow gained its popularity in the late 90s. Ozone therapy is a method of treatment and prevention using the medicinal properties of ozone, approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Ozone therapy has been used in our clinics since 1999 and is a specialty, therefore the clinic is called "Doctor Ozone". The doctors of the clinic use ozone therapy methods in various fields of medicine. In the clinic, you can do ozone therapy intravenously, in the form of subcutaneous micro injections (ozone injections), rectal and vaginal insufflation at the best prices for ozone therapy in Moscow. Ozone therapy is your youth and health

Ozone therapy in Moscow at the Doctor Ozone Clinic is carried out intravenously and in the form of "injections" - subcutaneous microinjections.

Treatment with ozone therapy for herpes and lowered immunity

For example, the use of intravenous ozone therapy in the treatment of herpes in the form of autohemotherapy with ozone or the introduction of ozonized saline solution (OFR with ozone) can significantly reduce the dose of antiviral drugs, accelerate the course of treatment. With a decrease in immunity, ozone therapy, when administered intravenously, stimulates the body's resistance to diseases such as influenza, tonsillitis, acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections, therefore, recommends ozone therapy in the autumn-winter period. With the disease "chronic fatigue syndrome" caused by cytomegalovirus and herpes virus, ozone therapy will relieve drowsiness, headache, fatigue, increase efficiency and overall vitality. Ozone therapy gives the same effect in case of usual fatigue, chronic lack of sleep, overwork, almost instantly relieving syndromes.

Ozone therapy for skin rejuvenation and correction of age-related changes

Ozone therapy is one of the most affordable injection methods for correcting age-related skin changes. It improves skin color, reduces the number of fine wrinkles, has a pronounced lifting of the skin, reduces fat deposits in the chin and décolleté area, improves the contours of the face and reduces dark circles under the eyes.

Ozone therapy for problem skin treatment

Ozone therapy has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, kills harmful bacteria and fungi. Due to this effect, ozone therapy gives a good result in the treatment of oily and problem skin. It relieves inflammation, disinfects, normalizes sebum secretion, reduces itching and flaking. It is used in adolescents with juvenile acne. As part of the complex treatment of problem skin, the doctors dermatocosmetologists of the clinic additionally carry out cleansing with the preparations of the Holy Land company (cosmetics No. 1 for the treatment of problem skin), which significantly improves and stabilizes the effect. In severe cases of the course of skin diseases, medications are prescribed, and joint treatment with gynecologists-endocrinologists is carried out. Complex treatment with ozone therapy for problem skin is the key to success. Many patients found clean and healthy skin after undergoing treatment with us!

Ozone therapy for stretch marks treatment

It is most effective to treat stretch marks on the skin immediately after they appear, when they have a reddish tint. Due to the property of ozone to have a pronounced healing and restorative effect, stretch marks can be made almost invisible.

Ozone therapy for body shaping and cellulite treatment

Ozone therapy is considered one of the most effective methods for combating fat deposits and cellulite. This method is the most democratic in terms of price and it will literally surprise you with its effectiveness! Ozone therapy has earned a lot of positive feedback from our patients. Ozone is an excellent "fat burner". It restores skin tone, tightens (dries) tissues, reduces volumes.

Ozone therapy - oxygen cocktail for beauty and youth

Lack of oxygen in the body reduces immunity, accelerates skin aging, slows down regeneration processes, causes headaches and chronic fatigue. To stop the undesirable process and stimulate cells to work actively, it is necessary to do ozone therapy.

Procedure concept

According to its chemical structure, ozone has a free oxygen atom, which, getting into the tissues, combines with other substances, causes a reaction and stimulates certain processes:

thins the blood and improves circulation;
speeds up metabolism;
stimulates cell division;
promotes the production of collagen and elastin;
kills germs, heals wounds.

Ozone smells fresh and has strong oxidizing properties. The substance cannot exist in free form for a long time, therefore it is obtained only before the procedure.

The main areas of application of ozone therapy for face and body beauty

The ozone therapy procedure has a therapeutic effect on all body systems, therefore it is widely used in medicine and cosmetology. Sessions differ in the method of exposure (injections, droppers, masks, serum, application, irrigation and rinsing) depending on the location of the problem and its degree of complexity.

Ozone therapy acts on the very cause, and not only removes the visible consequences. It is recommended to restore the beauty of skin, hair, body contours.

Rejuvenation

Ozone therapy for the face in the form of injections restores the skin's softness and velvety texture, eliminates wrinkles, bags and dark circles under the eyes, eliminates double chin. Ozone oxidizes cells and makes them move intensively, supplies them with oxygen, starting the rejuvenation process.

Applications and masks do not give such a stunning result, but after the session, peeling, redness disappear, the skin becomes healthy, white and radiant.

Acne treatment

Ozone is a powerful antiseptic, therefore it copes with the problem better than antibiotics. It eliminates the foci of inflammation, cleanses the sebaceous glands and restores their proper functioning. Combining with red blood cells, ozone activates their work to deliver oxygen to cells. As a result, acne quickly ripens, the site of their localization is cleared and healed.

Fight cellulite

During the procedure, dead fat cells, which create an unaesthetic appearance in problem areas, are broken down and removed from the body. Collagen and elastin work is activated, water balance is restored.

The big advantage of the procedure is the absence of side effects and the recovery period. But ozone therapy, the prices for which in Moscow do not differ significantly in different clinics, gives a tangible result after the course of exposure. Depending on the age of the patient and the degree of complexity of the problem, the doctor will select best method the introduction of ozone and the duration of treatment.

Ozone is a gas whose molecule consists of three oxygen atoms and has one free bond. It is she who provides the high activity of this substance. In its pure form, ozone is not only not useful for the body, but also poisonous - it is a toxin for the respiratory system - it irritates the mucous membranes and destroys the surfactant. However, introduced into the body in a diluted form, this gas activates a number of physiological processes, improving the functioning of many organs and systems. Exactly what effects ozone has on the human body, what ways of introducing this substance into the body are used today, as well as the indications, contraindications and complications of ozone therapy, will be discussed in our article.

Effects of ozone therapy

Thanks to the free bond that the ozone molecule has, this substance in the human body easily enters into chemical reactions, which are responsible for its positive effects:

activates metabolism (getting into the body, ozone reduces blood viscosity, improving its rheological properties, increases the consumption of glucose by tissues, increases the oxygen content in the blood and subsequent gas exchange in tissues);
has a detrimental effect on viruses, bacteria and pathogenic fungi (damages the membranes of microorganisms, increases their sensitivity to antibacterial drugs);
slows down the growth of tumors;
relieves pain (helps to reduce the transmission of pain signals to the central nervous system);
inhibits the inflammatory process (destroys substances-mediators of inflammation, improves the consumption of oxygen by the affected tissues and restores metabolic processes in them);
accelerates the elimination of toxins from the body (improves the functions of the kidneys and liver, which subsequently better remove toxic substances);
improves immune function (stimulates the formation of substances that provide an immune response).

Ozone administration routes

Depending on the method of administration, ozone therapy is divided into local and systemic.

Local ozone therapy

External use of ozone is aeration in a plastic bag. It is used to treat burns, trophic ulcers, poorly healing wounds, radiation injuries, fungal and herpetic infections, bedsores and gangrene. Has a disinfectant effect, accelerates wound healing processes.
Ozonized oil. As a rule, it is widely used by massage therapists to combat cellulite (destroys the shell of fat capsules), as well as in anti-aging creams and face masks. In addition, it is used to treat gynecological and ophthalmic pathology.
Balneotherapy with ozonized water. It is carried out with the aim of combating infection, accelerating wound healing processes, and stimulating blood circulation.
Subcutaneous ozone injection. They improve local blood circulation, have an antibacterial effect. Of the general effects, an improvement in mood, well-being and neuropsychic status should be noted. When introduced into acupuncture points, they have an analgesic effect and increase the ability of tissues to regenerate.
Rectal insufflation of the oxygen-ozone mixture.

Systemic ozone therapy

Intramuscular injection of ozone dissolved in the patient's blood (or low ozone autohemotherapy). It has a pronounced antibacterial effect.
dissolved in saline or the patient's blood (large ozone autohemotherapy). As a result, tissues receive more oxygen, metabolic processes and processes of elimination of toxins from the body are activated, and immunity improves, pathogens die.
Drinking ozonized water. Improves the functions of the digestive tract, and is also widely used in dentistry.

Indications for ozone therapy

Ozone therapy as one of the methods of complex treatment is effective in many diseases. The indications for its implementation are:

eye diseases (conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, corneal ulcers and injuries, optic nerve atrophy, eyelid hernias and others);
skin diseases (dermatoses, furunculosis, acne, exanthema and enanthema, trophic ulcers, skin mycoses, atopic dermatitis);
cosmetic problems (custard (striae) on the skin, cellulite, spider veins or telangiectasias, mimic wrinkles);
infections of any localization and nature;
diseases of the heart and blood vessels (ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension, arrhythmias and others);
peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer, chronic gastritis, duodenitis;
bowel disease (irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, NUC (ulcerative colitis), sigmoiditis, proctitis, hemorrhoids, conditions after bowel surgery, dysbiosis);
viral and alcoholic hepatitis;
chronic pancreatitis, cholecystitis;
diabetes;
diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract (pyelonephritis, urethritis, cystitis);
in men - prostatitis;
-, endometritis, leukoplakia and cervical erosion, pelvioperitonitis, bacterial vaginosis and others;
in obstetrics - the threat of termination of pregnancy, gestosis, infection, premature aging of the placenta, intrauterine fetal hypoxia, prevention of weakness of labor forces;
arthritis, arthrosis, gout, osteochondrosis, muscle pain associated with sports;
diseases of the peripheral nervous system (neuritis, plexitis and others).

Contraindications

In some diseases, ozone therapy will not only not have the expected positive effects from it, but can also worsen the patient's condition. So, the contraindications are:

organic pathology of the brain, convulsive syndrome;
tendency to bleeding (diseases of the blood coagulation system);
hemorrhagic stroke suffered in the last six months or internal bleeding of a different localization;
acute alcohol intoxication;
hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism);
age under 18;
individual hypersensitivity to ozone.

Features of the procedure

Depending on the diseases of a particular patient, the doctor determines the method of ozone administration, its concentration, the frequency of sessions, as well as their amount for the course of treatment. As a rule, they are carried out with an interval of 1-4 days in a course of 10-12 procedures.

Ozone therapy sessions are usually tolerated by the patient. Depending on the method of ozone administration, the procedure can last from several minutes (for example, minor autohemotherapy) to half an hour or an hour (intravenous infusion of an ozone-containing solution). During injection or infusion, the patient may feel mild pain and distension at the injection site, which disappear shortly after the end of the procedure.

There is no need to adhere to a special regimen after the ozone therapy session - the patient is allowed to immediately go about his daily activities. But! It is highly discouraged after this procedure to sunbathe in a solarium, visit a masseur, steam in a sauna - these activities should be postponed for at least two days. In addition, you should not combine ozone treatment with laser and mesotherapy.

Side effects and complications

When ozone is injected subcutaneously at the injection site, punctate hemorrhages (commonly referred to as bruises) and slight swelling may occur, and the patient may also experience mild pain that disappears after stopping the administration of the drug or during the first day.

With the systemic introduction of ozone, it is extremely rare that:

paraplegia (impaired motor activity in the limbs on one side of the body);
headache;
convulsions;
visual impairment;
sluggish depression;
pancytopenia (a sharp decrease in the blood content of formed elements - erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets);
allergic reactions.

As a rule, these complications are caused by the introduction of too high a concentration of ozone and the lack of full awareness of the patient's state of health by the doctor (that is, the presence of diseases in the latter that he concealed from the doctor).

Video on the topic “How is ozone therapy useful? The expert says ":

One of the types of physiotherapy treatment. This is a qualitatively new form of treatment for many well-known and newly discovered diseases. Whole medical societies have been created, uniting various specialists and doctors with a common goal - to engage in research and practical work in this area.

Such a medical procedure is recognized and officially applied in Europe. For example, it is widespread in such countries:

Germany.
Spain.
Switzerland.
Austria.
Italy.

The name itself suggests that this unique and highly effective method of treatment uses medical ozone, and especially often ozone-oxygen mixtures. Gas (O3), which is specially formed with the help of special medical devices - ozonizers, has a powerful healing effect due to the strong oxidizing properties of ozone. Many have heard that ozone is toxic, if inhaling it can be dangerous. Is it wise to use this substance?

What is ozone and what is its effect on humans

Under normal conditions, Ozone is a blue-blue explosive gas with a pungent characteristic odor. During a thunderstorm, we can hear it clearly. In the solid state - crystals of black color.

Formed:

In nature, it is exposed to ultraviolet radiation from oxygen.
For industrial purposes, it is obtained in ozonizers using an electric discharge.

In its pure form, ozone is harmful to our breathing due to the high toxicity of the gas.

Dangerous exposure for a person:

Toxic to lungs if inhaled. Affects the respiratory organs by damaging tissue.
Dangerous with direct injection of gas intravenously.
Affects cholesterol, as it contributes to the appearance of insoluble forms that provoke atherosclerosis.

Beneficial effect on the body:

Antiviral, antibacterial and fungicidal action. It destroys various types of viruses, microbes and fungi, and also prevents their reappearance.
Helps break down free radicals. It activates the antioxidant systems of the human body.
Immunomodulatory effect - they have both a stimulating and an inhibitory effect on immunity, depending on the dose of use. Because of its influence, it can also be used for secondary immunodeficiency. For example, after a long illness, with autoimmune diseases.
Improves microcirculation, reduces peripheral vascular resistance, increases the elasticity of erythrocyte membranes and, as a result, reduces oxygen starvation of the cell leading to hypertension and coronary heart disease.
It increases the amount of oxygen supplied to the tissues and, therefore, leads to its better absorption.
Ozone has a strong analgesic effect, especially in the presence of severe inflammation.
Cleansing effect. Used for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by metabolic disorders - obesity, diabetes. Improves liver function.
Reduces the level of uric acid, which is a common cause of gout.

Although the positive effects of ozone exposure are much greater, the danger should not be neglected. Experiments carried out for many years on the therapeutic use of the substance have shown that a positive effect can only be with an accurate dosage of ozone.

The essence of the technique

Ozone therapy is based on the ability of ozone to affect the cells of our body. Medical gas, once in the body, rapidly increases the supply of oxygen to tissues. It activates important vital processes in all organs. The formation of reactive oxygen species takes place, and lipid oxidation products are released.

All this takes place in two stages:

In plasma, reactive oxygen species disappear after their effect on cells, having exerted their positive effects.
The products of lipid oxidation with the help of blood are distributed throughout the body, some of them bind to cellular receptors in tissues.

The procedure restores disturbed lipid oxidation, promotes the diffusion and release of oxygen in the tissues.

Methods for introducing ozone into the body. Carrying out the procedure

Ozone is injected into the human body in an office that is identical in terms of conditions to a medical one. Cleanliness and sterility, gowns and equipment should not scare you. The process is tolerated quite easily by all patients. It only takes 15-30 minutes of your time. There are 2 methods - local and systemic.

Local ways

Local or local methods are used, if necessary, to act only on a certain area of the body.

Depending on what problems need to be overcome, the specialist may recommend several options for exposure:

Use of ozonized oil. It is widely used in the case of massages:
- For example, the need to combat cellulite. Has a destructive effect on the sclerosed shell of fatty capsules. As a result, the appearance of cellulite is reduced.
- They are also used as a basis for various face masks.
- They are used in the manufacture of a cream for treatment and rejuvenation, as a base.
Baths and hydromassages with ozonized water.
Ozone, getting into the water, destroys the bacterial cell, destroying its membrane. When the integrity of the membrane is compromised, ozone oxidizes the cytoplasm, destroying the bacteria.
Injection of a mixture of ozone and oxygen:
- Injection is done into the subcutaneous layer. This cocktail provokes the most rapid activation of all metabolic mechanisms.
- They can also be injected into the rectum, vagina.
Ozone therapy plus autohemotherapy.
The patient's blood is taken, mixed with ozone, and an injection is given. It is widely used in the treatment of severe acne.
Aeration in a plastic bag. A regular plastic bag is put on the right place (head, arms, legs). After that, it is hermetically fixed. The bag is filled with a mixture of gases, a destructor is connected. Effective in the treatment of ulcers, wound healing, bedsores.

Systemic methods

They are used when it is necessary to give the opportunity to have an effect on the whole organism.

They are used to improve performance, when it is necessary to normalize sleep due to stress, to strengthen immunity, to contribute to the fastest recovery after serious illnesses:

Intravenous injection:
- Ozone is mixed either with the patient's blood or with a specific drug. Achieved a general stimulating effect on the body, which accelerates its metabolic processes.
- It is administered intravenously with a dropper for 30–45 minutes.
Reception of ozonized water inside.
Water after ozonation can be used within 5-10 minutes after the oxygenation process. Ozone does not disintegrate in water for only a few minutes, then it turns into ordinary oxygen. However, this is enough to remove harmful impurities from the water. The properties of water are maintained for 48 hours.
Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection:
- It is performed with disposable syringes at painful or acupuncture points. Injections can be given to sore or sore muscles. Used for blockade in osteochondrosis, myositis.
- The pain is relieved quickly, muscle spasms, swelling and inflammation disappear.

The effect of ozone therapy

Improving the metabolism inside the cell contributes to its better division and, as a result, tissue rejuvenation. A neglected cell functions better, exerting a healing effect on the entire body.

For instance:

The liver copes with the breakdown of fats more efficiently, produces bile acids faster, and removes harmful substances.
The kidneys remove urea and salts faster.
Connective tissue cells are more likely to synthesize collagen and elastin, contributing to rejuvenation.
Antiviral, anti-inflammatory and immune modulating action increases microcirculation.
Under the influence of ozone, the blood becomes more oxygenated. This lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood, reduces the risk of occurrence or development of existing blood clots.

Indications and contraindications for the procedure

Various types of arthrosis. Diseases of the peripheral nervous system (herniated disc, plexitis, polyneuritis).
Diseases caused by acute or chronic disorders of cerebral blood flow (ischemic stroke, neuralgic dystonia).
Migraine, neurosis, neurasthenic symptoms caused by work with the radiation of a computer screen. General tiredness and weakness.
Gynecological diseases or obstetrics.
All liver damage caused by alcohol or viruses.
Delaying physical recovery from serious illness. Difficult to heal wounds.
Gout, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease.
Cosmetology, prevention of age-related changes. Skin conditions, acne, eczema, etc.
Overweight, cellulite.

Since ozone is able to quickly evaporate and lose its healing properties, it is necessary to prepare such a substance immediately before the procedure. Ozone is passed through physiological saline to obtain a concentration of 5 mg / l.

Injection of physiological solution by infusion drip through a vein

The method of using a solution with the addition of the patient's autologous blood is called ozone autohemotherapy. From patients, blood must be drawn from a vein (100 ml) and placed in a container with a substance that prevents clotting.

Then everything is thoroughly mixed, and the solution is injected by infusion drip.
