    Ozone Therapy

    Ozone therapy covers several practices in which medical ozone is given by different routes, for example by injection, rectally, or mixed with blood. Availability and rules differ by place. Public research exists but is mixed and limited, so it is worth reading it rather than relying on marketing. This guide is for education only and is not medical advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about whether any treatment is right for you.

    Before & After Tips

    • Tell the provider about every medication, supplement and condition, including allergies and pregnancy.
    • Ask for the written aftercare instructions and who to call if something feels wrong.
    • Do not rely on before and after photos alone. Ask how typical or atypical they are.
