Ozonotherapy is a medical application of an oxygen-ozone mixture. Ozone is a substance which in systemic administration works intensively for regeneration of the human body. The main activities of ozone therapy are strengthening of the immune system, intensive “sweeping” of free radicals, better oxygenation of the body, regulation of gene activity and anti-inflammatory effect.
Strengthening the immune system
The immune system is the basis of our health. Its deficiency occurs in almost every chronic disease. The effect of ozone on the immune system is multidirectional and is best described by the term immunomodulation:
– it helps the body to fight microorganisms, which is crucial in chronic infections
– helps to find and eliminate mutant cells – this is of primary importance in both the prevention and treatment of cancer
– It silences the hyperreactivity of the immune system, which takes place in allergies and autoimmune diseases.
Ozone treatment
What is ozone therapy?
Działania ozonoterapii
- wzmocnienie układu odpornościowego
- intensywne „wymiatanie” wolnych rodników
- lepsze dotlenienie organizmu
- regulacja aktywności genów
- efekt przeciwzapalny
Intensive “sweeping” of free radicals
Oxidative stress – is a condition in which the body cannot cope with the accumulation of free radicals. It leads to cell and tissue damage and, as a consequence, to chronic diseases such as autoimmune diseases or cancer. Ozone works by activating internal antioxidant systems that our body possesses, enabling “thorough cleaning” in the form of intense “sweeping” of free radicals accumulated in the body. Thus, it leads to a reduction in the level of oxidative stress.
Oxygenation of the body
Oxygen is an element necessary for the functioning of every cell in our body. Blood, the circulatory system and the respiratory system work together for good oxygenation of all tissues, and we can support them through daily physical activity. However, in various diseases insufficient oxygenation of the body occurs. Ozone helps here through the mechanisms of:
• Regulation of microcirculation – that is, improvement in the functioning of the smallest vessels through which gas exchange takes place. An extremely important factor in diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease (coronary artery disease) and ischemia of the lower extremities.
• The shift of the oxygen dissociation curve (i.e. the ability to absorb and donate oxygen through hemoglobin), thanks to which oxygen is more efficiently saturating the blood and more efficiently than under normal conditions is given to tissues and organs.
Regulation of gene activity and anti-inflammatory effect
Ozone in the blood regulates the activity of genes in all cells of the body, including the genes responsible for controlling cell division (protooncogenes). These genes, functioning in a defective way, intensify cell division (this is the case in cancer cells).
Ozone works in cells that contain a cell nucleus, also by regulating gene expression for so-called nuclear factors: NF-KB and nrf2. Through these two factors inflammation is also reduced, especially chronic (because then the so-called vicious circle of inflammation is cut, where inflammation is the cause of further intensification of inflammation). This is the basic mechanism in which we observe the disappearance of symptoms associated with chronic inflammation, such as joint pain in RA (rheumatoid arthritis).
OZONOTHERAPY IS A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN METHOD
based on the results of several thousand studies
OZONOTHERAPY KNOWN FOR YEARS
Medical use of ozone has been the subject of an increasing number of studies, including clinical trials, for several decades. Furthermore, a meta-analysis of clinical trials has been made. Ozone therapy is a method known and used for years in many countries of the world, especially in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Japan and Russia. In 1986, ozone therapy appeared in Poland, thanks to Professor Zygmunt Antoszewski, who called it a method worthy of a Nobel Prize in Medicine.
