What is an Ozone treatment and why is it gaining attention

With holistic wellness treatments at their peak for their purposeful benefits, the ozone body treatment has been gaining some attention.

Often touted for its detoxifying and rejuvenating properties, this therapy involves exposing the body to ozone gas in various forms. But what exactly does this treatment entail, and who might benefit from it?

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy or Hyperthermic ozone and carbonic technology, utilises ozone, a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (O3), which is known for its potential oxidative properties.

With the look of a spaceship, it is a chamber that delivers the perfect combination of dental yet powerful pure oxygen into the body to boost energy and detox the body on a cellular level.

You can receive treatment in a few ways:

  1. Ozone sauna: In this method, ozone is introduced into a sauna or steam cabinet where the person sits. The combination of heat and ozone is believed to open pores and facilitate detoxification through the skin.
  2. Ozone insufflation: This involves introducing ozone gas into bodily cavities such as the rectum (rectal insufflation), vagina (vaginal insufflation), or ears (auricular insufflation), where it is absorbed into the bloodstream.
  3. Ozone injection: Medical practitioners may administer ozone injections directly into muscles, joints, or soft tissue for therapeutic purposes.
