Ozone is a form of oxygen therapy in which there is an extra oxygen atom placed alongside the 2 oxygen atoms that normally make up the oxygen molecule. It is effectively an activated or “supercharged” version of oxygen as it is O3 instead of O2. By activating oxygen in this manner the healing benefits of this already critical life-giving substance are magnified even further.
History of Ozone Therapy
You may be surprised to learn that Ozone therapy has been around for a very long time, in fact, it was being used in the US well before antibiotic drugs were invented. In 1929, a book called “Ozone and Its Therapeutic Action” was published in the US listing 114 diseases and how to treat them with ozone. Its 40 authors were the heads of all the leading American hospitals. Back then it was a well-known and established healing treatment. Medical ozone treatment has powerful disease reversing benefits when used correctly and has been used for many years to heal the body of many illnesses and diseases. In Germany there are more than 10,000 doctors using ozone to successfully treat a wide variety of health conditions The naturopaths at The Nardella Clinic in Calgary have been using ozone for nearly a decade.
An ozone generator is used to generate the ozone gas from pure medical grade oxygen. This ozone machine or medical ozone generator generates a precise concentration of ozone gas (usually no more than 5%), which is then used as part of the oxygen and ozone treatment session. The concentration of ozone used is individualized and determined by your naturopath as part of your treatment protocol.
