WHAT IS OZONE THERAPY?

​

Ozone (O₃) is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms. Unlike the diatomic oxygen (O₂) we breathe, ozone contains an additional oxygen atom, making it a highly reactive form of oxygen with potent therapeutic properties.

​

Upon administration, medical ozone releases a single oxygen atom. This nascent oxygen binds to and oxidizes pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi, thereby disrupting their structure and neutralizing their activity. Ozone also stimulates the body's own antioxidant defenses, improving cellular resilience against oxidative stress.

​

At Larrea Naturopathic Medicine, all ozone is generated from 100% pure medical-grade oxygen and administered under sterile protocols for maximum safety and efficacy.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF OZONE THERAPY

​

Medical ozone therapy has been studied extensively and is used worldwide, particularly in Europe, for a wide range of conditions. Therapeutic benefits supported by clinical literature include:

​

• Support for chronic infections, including Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus, herpes viruses, and chronic bacterial infections

• Management of mold toxicity and mycotoxin-related illnesses

• Reduction of musculoskeletal pain associated with degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, and sports injuries

• Adjunctive therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia

• Treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction, including dysbiosis, GERD, and ulcers

• Enhancement of wound healing and reduction of chronic inflammation

• Support for vaginitis, pelvic infections, and urogenital health

​

OZONE THERAPY FOR PREVENTIVE AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

​

In addition to addressing pathology, ozone therapy may be used as part of a preventive and regenerative medicine strategy to:

​

• Strengthen immune surveillance

• Enhance metabolic efficiency

• Improve circulation and vascular health

• Increase cellular antioxidant capacity

• Promote longevity and overall vitality

 

Patients often report increased energy levels, improved cognitive clarity, faster recovery from exertion, and an enhanced sense of well-being following a course of ozone therapy.

Depending on the clinical indication, ozone can be delivered via:

​

• Major Autohemotherapy (MAHT) | Gravity Method: Venous blood is withdrawn, exposed to a precise concentration of ozone gas, and then reinfused intravenously.

• 10-Pass Ozone Therapy: An advanced form of MAHt where the blood is ozonated and reinfused multiple times in a single session for higher therapeutic dosing.  It is called 10 pass because the blood is removed and reinfused up to 10 times yielding a significantly higher dosage of ozone vs major autohemotherapy.

• Ear Insufflation: Ozone gas is introduced into the auditory canal for upper respiratory and neurological conditions.

• Vaginal Insufflation: Ozone gas is insufflated into the vaginal canal for management of gynecological infections and pelvic health.

• Rectal Insufflation: Ozone gas is introduced into the rectum for systemic absorption and gastrointestinal support.

• Ozonated Water Therapy: Ingestion or topical application of water that has been saturated with ozone. Ozonated water may assist in the management of gastrointestinal issues (e.g., ulcers, dysbiosis), support oral health (e.g., gingivitis, periodontal disease), and promote overall detoxification.

 

All methods are performed following strict safety guidelines and individualized to the patient's specific therapeutic needs.
