    eBOO Therapy

    eBOO (extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation) is a wellness procedure offered by some clinics in which blood is drawn, exposed to oxygen and ozone outside the body, and returned. Clinics describe it in different ways, and it is not an approved treatment for disease. Because it involves blood handling, the clinic, the equipment and the clinician matter a great deal. This guide is for education only and is not medical advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about whether any treatment is right for you.
