Ozone Therapy

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone Therapy, or Ozone Treatment, involves the use of ozone (O3), a chemical compound consisting of three oxygen atoms. This therapy is administered by converting pure oxygen (O2) into ozone using a specialized generator. The generated ozone is then mixed with the patient’s blood, which is drawn from the body (approximately 200 cc), and reintroduced back into the body through a closed system. This treatment has gained popularity in medical practices, including at specialized preventive medicine clinics like Siam Clinic, where it is used to enhance overall health. Ozone Therapy not only improves oxygen delivery to the body but also stimulates the immune system, helping the body fight off pollutants and pathogens. If you’re experiencing fatigue or wish to boost your immune system, ozone therapy may be an effective solution.

Who is Ozone Therapy Suitable For?

• Individuals who frequently suffer from colds, are prone to infections, or have a weakened immune system.
• Patients with chronic conditions like hepatitis, herpes, or shingles.
• People exposed to high levels of air pollution, such as PM 2.5, regularly.
• Those suffering from Long COVID symptoms.
• Individuals with allergies, hives, or asthma.
• Patients with circulatory issues or a history of stroke due to insufficient blood flow to the brain.
• Athletes or individuals looking to increase their physical endurance and strength.
• Those who exert themselves heavily through work or exercise and need help with muscle recovery.
• People without specific health issues but who wish to strengthen their immune system and improve overall health.

Benefits of Ozone Therapy

• Eliminates Viruses and Bacteria: Ozone therapy helps to cleanse the body of harmful pathogens.
• Boosts Brain Function: It can enhance memory and cognitive function.
• Strengthens Respiratory System: It improves lung function and overall respiratory health.
• Relieves Pain: Particularly effective for pain caused by wounds or bone-related issues.
• Regulates Heart Rhythm: Helps manage irregular heartbeats.
• Supports Recovery from Stroke: It can alleviate damage caused by stroke, whether due to clots, hemorrhage, or blockages.
• Enhances Immune System: Ozone therapy increases the production of interferons, TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor), and Interleukin 2, which play a crucial role in immune defense.
• Increases Energy Levels: By improving oxygen delivery throughout the body, ozone therapy helps reduce fatigue and enhances physical vitality.

Recommendations Before Treatment

• Hydration: It’s recommended to increase water intake by at least 1 liter more than usual for two days prior to treatment.
• High-Dose Ozone Therapy: Not recommended for pregnant women or individuals with blood clotting disorders or red blood cell fragility, such as G6PD deficiency.

Procedure

Ozone is introduced into the body via an intravenous method. The procedure involves drawing 100-200 cc of blood, similar to a blood donation, and placing it into a vacuum-sealed container. The ozone generator then infuses ozone into the blood, which is mixed until the blood turns a bright red color, indicating sufficient oxygenation. The treated blood is then reintroduced into the patient’s body. The entire process takes approximately 30-45 minutes.

Expected Outcomes After Treatment

Short-Term Effects:

• Improved Circulation: Ozone therapy reduces blood viscosity and improves oxygen delivery to tissues.
• Enhanced Immunity: Strengthens white blood cells, aiding in faster recovery from infections.
• Immune System Balance: Helps manage allergies and autoimmune conditions by regulating overactive immune responses.
• Tissue Repair: Stimulates growth factors from platelets, promoting tissue repair and a more youthful appearance.

Long-Term Effects:

• Increased White Blood Cell Production: Boosts the body’s defense mechanisms, with interferon levels rising by 400-900%.
• Improved Blood Cell Flexibility: Enhances the ability of blood cells to navigate small capillaries, aiding in the healing of chronic wounds such as those from diabetes or pressure sores.
• Increased Mitochondrial Energy Production: Reduces fatigue and improves athletic performance.
• Antioxidant Enzyme Production: Stimulates enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, which combat oxidative stress.

Standards and Equipment

Ozone therapy was discovered by German chemist Christian Frederick Schönbein in 1840. Initially used for sterilizing surgical rooms and disinfecting drinking water, it was later applied in medical treatments for allergies. Today, ozone therapy is widely used in anti-aging medicine for health restoration and disease prevention. At Siam Clinic, we provide ozone therapy using state-of-the-art equipment from Germany, certified to meet medical standards.
