The basics
Ozone (O3) is a form of oxygen. In ozone therapy, medical-grade ozone is made from pure oxygen and given in carefully measured amounts.
At our clinic, ozone is given by a method called major autohemotherapy. A small amount of your blood is drawn, mixed with a measured amount of ozone, and returned to you through an IV. We do not inject ozone gas directly into a vein.
Ozone therapy has been used for many years in some European countries, including Germany and Austria. In the United States, research is limited, and the FDA has not approved ozone for any medical use.
Our approach
Step by step
All sessions are performed under the direction of a licensed clinician. A session usually takes about 45–60 minutes.
1
We review your health history, medications and recent labs, and check that ozone therapy is safe for you.
2
A small amount of blood is drawn into a sterile container.
3
Your blood is gently mixed with a measured amount of medical-grade ozone.
4
The blood is slowly returned through your IV, and your vital signs are checked before and after.
