4 Types of Ozone Treatments Explained

Curious? Of course you are. Skeptical that ozone is just some new fad? That’s fair, but guess what? Ozone therapy is the exact opposite of a new fad.

In fact, ozone therapy has been around for nearly two centuries! It has been used to treat everything from infections to diseases to injuries. Even the brilliant Nikola Tesla believed in the power of ozone therapy as far back as 1896, when he patented the first ozone generator in the United States.

In the present day, ozone therapies are used to treat an ever-growing array of ailments, including brain and spinal cord inflammation, MS, Parkinson’s, chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, shingles, the flu, pneumonia and more.

How does it work? Good question.

Heres a breakdown of four common rejuvenation methods that utilize ozone, in order from least to most effective :

4 Common Ozone Treatments

1. Intramuscular Ozone Injections

Intramuscular ozone injection is the most self-explanatory method of ozone therapy on our list. Simply put, ozone is often mixed with a small amount of oxygen and injected directly into the patients muscle for pain relief of an acute area. From our analysis, it seems to be rare that patients see long-term relief with ozone injections, however there are people that swear by this technique.

2. Transdermal Ozone

Also known as hyperthermic ozone therapy, Transdermal Ozone Therapy is a bit like a sauna mixed with ozone gas. When getting this type of therapy, a patient sits in a hot steam cabinet that is filled with ozone. As the pores of the skin open up, ozone enters the body. There are mixed beliefs on the efficacy of this treatment, as the skin definitely absorbs what it comes into contact with, however it does not compare to the absorption of an intravenous treatment. Protocols for this type of ozone administration typically require multiple treatments.

3. 10-Pass

The 10-Pass Ozone Method, AKA, Lahody/Rowen Modified High Dose Ozone Therapy, is a unique strategy used to safely treat a patient’s blood with ozone. It works by delivering ozone to the body via a vacuum technique. This technique involves removing heparinized blood from a patient, mixing the blood in a sterile glass bottle with ozone, then infusing the blood back into the patient. During a typical session, this can be repeated about ten times, giving us the shorthand name “10-Pass.” This method is known to be moderately effective, with patients feeling a slight sense of rejuvenation and increased energy post treatment.

4. EBO2 Therapy

EBO2 (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) is the most advanced form of ozone therapy on the market, as it incorporates an advanced blood filtration process alongside the ozone infusion into the blood. The filtration process removes heavy metals, fats, cholesterols, toxins and inflammatory proteins. The protocol treats and filters between 4.5-7 liters of the patients blood and has been shown to provide remarkable detoxification results, especially in those with excessive inflammation and recovering from viruses. The Institute has been proudly administering this treatment for our patients for almost three years now and we have seen some life-changing results. As an industry leader, we are excited to be training other qualified specialists in the industry to provide this protocol for their patients as well.
