Oxygen is essential for life — but did you know that a specialized form of oxygen, called ozone, can also be used to promote healing, fight infections, and support overall wellness?
Ozone therapy has been used for decades in integrative and regenerative medicine because of its remarkable ability to enhance the body’s natural repair systems. By improving oxygen delivery to tissues, stimulating the immune system, and reducing inflammation, this service offers benefits that extend far beyond basic symptom relief.
At Genesis Integrative Medicine, under the guidance of Terra Hartman, FNP, APNP, RN, FAAMM, we provide a range of ozone therapies designed to support whole-body health.
What Is Ozone?
Ozone is a form of oxygen with three atoms instead of the usual two. The use of ozone therapy spans various medical fields, owing to its unique properties and potential therapeutic effects.
Ozone is created from oxygen when exposed to specific electrical forces, certain ranges of UV light, and it is even naturally produced in the human body.
EBO2 Therapy: A New Level of Wellness
EBO2 (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) therapy is an advanced form of ozone therapy that works by gently filtering your blood outside the body, enriching it with oxygen and ozone, and then returning it to your system. This process helps cleanse the blood, support your immune system, and promote better overall wellness.
Ozone itself is a special form of oxygen made up of three oxygen atoms instead of the usual two. While ozone naturally occurs in the body in small amounts, EBO2 therapy delivers it in a safe, controlled way that can boost oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and help the body function at its best.
Ozone Uses
Ozone therapy has many applications and is known for the following:
- Antibacterial and Antiviral Effects: Ozone’s oxidizing properties make it effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This makes ozone therapy useful in treating infections.
- Enhancing Immune Response: It stimulates the production of white blood cells, which play a crucial role in defending the body against infections.
- Improving Oxygen Utilization: It enhances the release of oxygen from the blood to tissues, and it helps in conditions where oxygen supply is critical. Improved oxygenation can lead to better overall cellular function and health.
- Antioxidant Effects: Despite being an oxidant, ozone therapy can stimulate the body’s antioxidant defense system.
- Pain Relief & Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Ozone therapy has been shown to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. It is beneficial in conditions like arthritis, back pain, and fibromyalgia.
- Cardiovascular Health: Ozone therapy may benefit heart health by improving blood flow and reducing the risk of plaque formation in arteries.
- Diabetes Management: Ozone therapy can help in managing blood sugar levels and reducing complications. Its effects on improving circulation and combating infections are particularly beneficial in diabetic foot ulcers, a common complication of diabetes.
