Ozone therapy can be administered in a multitude of ways and all of them have their pros and cons: some need a doctor to be present, others can be easily done at home. Additionally, people come up with new ways to use ozone all the time. 

Ozone therapy is administered intravenously, intra-arterially, intra-articularly, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, topically, as inhalations after bubbling it through olive oil, or as insufflations. The applications are either performed directly with the ozone gas or with ozonated liquids like ozonated water, saline, or oils.

Here is a (non-exhaustive) list of some of the most common ways to administer ozone therapy:

1. Invasive ozone therapy administration

Ozone therapy is administered invasively whenever the skin is punctured or cut with needles or scalpels. This includes any type of “blood ozone” treatments, intravenous or intra-arterial infusions, subcutaneous, intra-peritoneal, intra-mascular, or joint injections.

1.1.  Intravenous ozone administration (into a vein)

Intravenous ozone therapy is administered into the vein. This can happen in different ways:

1. Blood is drawn into a container outside of the human body and an anti-coagulant (either heparin or sodium citrate) is included to prevent clotting. Ozone is added into the bag (or bottle or syringe), mixed with the blood, and re-infused into the patient’s arm.

2. A saline solution is ozonated and then infused into the patient’s vein via a drip.

3. The ozone gas is injected directly into the blood stream.

Each method can be performed differently with different accessories, techniques or ozone concentrations.

1.1.1. 10 pass (20 pass, 30 pass)

The 10 pass method was developed by Dr. Johann Lahodny, an Austrian gynecologist. The original 10 Pass ozone treatment consisted of the following strictly defined protocol:

200 ml of blood were drawn into a vacuum bottle, 20,000 units of heparin were added and 200 ml of ozone/oxygen mix at an ozone concentration of 70 mcg/ml. The bottle with the blood and ozone mix was gently shaken and  re-infused under slight pressure of maximum 0.8 bar back into the vein. This process was repeated 10 times within 1 to 2 hours, hence the name: 10 Pass.

This resulted in a total ozone dosage of 140,000 mcg and a total of 2,000 ml of drawn blood.

With time the protocol has undergone some changes. Nowadays less heparin is used, namely 7,500 instead of 20,000 units, and more blood is taken per pass (250 to 300 ml) and shaken with more ozone (250 to 300 ml) per pass.

Another modification is that 20 and 30 Passes are being performed.

10 / 20 / 30 Pass treatments require a hyperbaric ozone generator like the Herrmann comfort or the Zotzmann 2000N.

10 Pass and multi-pass treatments are different types of hyperbaric ozone therapy.

1.1.2. Multi-pass

A multi-pass is any treatment which employs more than one but less than 10 passes. Each pass usually consists of 200 ml of drawn blood and 200 ml of ozone/oxygen gas mix. The used ozone concentration typically varies between 40 and 70 mcg/ml.

10 Pass ozone therapy is administered with the help of hyperbaric ozone generators like the Herrmann comfort or the Zotzmann 2000N.

1.1.3. EBOO / EBO2 / RHP

EBOO stands for extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation, RHP stands for Recirculatory Hemoperfusion. Both describe roughly the same type of treatment: blood is drawn from one arm, transported into a machine where it’s mixed with ozone and heparin and then re-infused into the other arm.

EBO2 is used either synonymously with EBOO or to describe the same procedure but with a higher ozone concentration and lower oxygen flow.

The different EBOO treatments are widely marketed as a type of ozone blood dialysis, although it is not clear, whether this is in fact the case.

It is more likely that the dialyzer (a type of filter) is used mainly to achieve a finer dispersion of ozone bubbles in the blood, not to perform blood dialysis.

The preferred ozone concentrations vary greatly based on ozone practitioners, methods and machines. According to Prof. Nazarov ozone concentrations of 0.1 to 40 mcg/ml are used, with the total ozone dosage moving between 10,000 to 1,200,000 mcg.

According to US ozone practitioners the ozone concentration can range from as low as 3 mcg/ml to as high as 40 mcg/ml and a total ozone dosage of around 150,000 mcg.

The total volume of drawn blood can be as high as 6,000 ml.

The treatment requires the use of heparin, an anticoagulant.

EBOO performed with Prof. Nazarov's equipment by mixing ozonated saline with blood outside of the patient's body.

1.1.4. Major Autohemotherapy (MAH)

Major Autohemotherapy is the classic intravenous ozone therapy administration. It’s one of the original and most widely used ways to use ozone in medicine.

The exact amount of drawn blood and used ozone can vary widely between practitioners and between single treatments. It can involve anything between 60 and 250 ml of blood mixed with ozone amounts ranging from 60 to 250 ml at concentrations between 20 and 70 mcg/ml. MAH requires an anti-coagulant which can be either heparin or sodium citrate. Some practitioners also add saline to the blood.

Normobaric / hyperbaric MAH

Normobaric describes normal barometric pressure which during ozone therapy usually means 0 bar. When ozone therapy is administered hyperbarically, the applied pressure moves between 0 and 0.8 bar.

Mixing blood with ozone under hyperbaric (positive pressure) conditions is supposed to render additional benefits. It’s alleged that the pressure protects red blood cells from being destroyed and improves ozone saturation.

Hyperbaric MAH treatments are achieved when more ozone is introduced into the container with the blood than there is space for. Example: In a 250 ml bag 200 ml of blood are drawn, which leaves 50 ml of space. If 100 ml of ozone gas are injected into that 50 ml space, then this creates a positive (hyperbaric) pressure inside the bag.

Special hyperbaric ozone generators make it easier to administer ozone therapy hyperbarically but they are not absolutely necessary for that purpose. Hyperbaric treatments can be also performed with normal non-hyperbaric ozone machines. When using a normobaric ozone generator, the practitioner uses gravity to extract the blood (by placing the bag below the patient’s arm) and to re-infuse it (by placing the bag above the patient). They hyperbaric aspect of the treatment is generated by manually injecting more ozone into the bag than there is space.

When performed with a hyperbaric ozone generator the extraction and re-infusion happens with the help of either a vacuum (between -0.8 and less than 0 bar) or positive pressure (between more than 0 and 0.8 bar). The mixing of the blood is also performed under slight positive pressure.

1.1.5. Ozonated saline IV

During ozonated saline IVs physiological saline of 0.9% is infused intravenously into the patient. The saline can be ozonated right before the administration or during the administration. Some practitioners also ozonate saline in bulk ahead of time and refrigerate it.

When ozone therapy is administered intravenously through saline solution, it’s called the “Russian Method” since it’s been first developed by the Russian doctor Dr. Sergei Peretyagin.

This video includes footage from my stay in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, where I learned the “Russian method”, aka ozonated saline IVs. 

1.1.6. Direct intravenous ozone injection (DIV)

DIV is the administration of ozone/oxygen gas mix directly into the vein. 10 to 60 ml of ozone gas are injected at an extremely low flow rate of 1cc per 10 seconds to 1 cc per 30 seconds. The recommended ozone concentration is between 20 and 35 mcg/ml (Dr. Robins’ preferred concentration is 55 mcg/ml). Special precautions need to be respected to make sure that only pure ozone/oxygen gas mix free of air contamination is injected.

DIV ozone injections are a perfect tool to treat varicose or spider veins. In which case ozone concentrations between 50 to 70 mcg/ml are used.

1.1.7. Intermittent ozone IV

An intermittent ozone treatment is a type of a small autohemotherapy: first a syringe is filled with ozone, then the same syringe is used to draw blood from a patient’s vein. The line of the butterfly needle is clamped off, and the syringe is shaken to mix the blood with the ozone. During the whole time the needle remains in the patient’s arm and the syringe is never disconnected from the butterfly needle. Once sufficiently mixed, the ozonated blood is then pushed back into the patient’s vein.

1.2. Intra-arterial ozone injections (into an artery)

Ozone can be also injected into an artery, instead of into a vein. This is an obsolete form of ozone which is rarely performed nowadays. It requires a good knowledge of anatomy. A recent and rare example has been demonstrated by Dr. Rowen in the treatment of an injury caused by a hyaluronic acid injection. 

1.3. Intra-articular ozone injections (into a joint)

During intra-articular injections, ozone is injected into joints. Any joint on the human body can be injected with ozone: knee, shoulders, hips, wrists, etc.

Usually, ozone concentrations of 20 to 40 mcg/ml are used and ozone amounts of a few to around 10 milliliters per injection. Joint injections require a good understanding of human anatomy and are commonly performed by doctors or trained chiropractors.

Dr. Frank Shallenberger has made joint injections in the US popular under the name Prolozone™. They are often combined with a mix of B vitamins, homeopathics, procaine, and followed up with ozone.

1.4. Intramuscular ozone injections (into a muscle)

Intramuscular injections are performed by injecting an ozone/oxygen mix into the ventrogluteal or the dorsogluteal muscle (buttocks).

A syringe is filled with 10 to 20 ml of ozone at an ozone concentration of 20 to 40 mcg/ml and then injected into the desired muscle. Care needs to be taken to prevent the injection of the gas into a blood vessel.

Minor Autohemotherapy (MiAH) is also a type of intramuscular ozone injection where a mix of ozone and blood is injected instead of direct gas.

32 aspirate

A 60 cc ozone syringe and a 40 mm needle is used to inject only 20 cc of ozone/oxygen gas. Not a good call. It's better to use a smaller syringe. 

1.5. Minor Autohemotherapy (MiAH)

During minor autohemotherapy a syringe is first filled with 40 to 50 ml of ozone gas at an ozone concentration of 20 to 40 mcg/ml. The same syringe is then used to draw 10 to 20 ml of blood. The syringe is then shaken several times and the ozonated blood is injected into the muscle (usually the dorsogluteal or ventrogluteal). MiAH is a type of ozone therapy which is administered intramuscularly, but the treatment involves an intravenous component.

1.6. Subcutaneous ozone injections (under the skin)

Ozone can be injected superficially under the skin into nearly every part of the body. For this, usually a syringe of 10 to 20 ml and a small needle (30 g, 13mm) is used. The ozone concentration varies between 5 to 40 mcg/ml, depending which body area is injected for what purpose. Per injection, usually not more than a few milliliters of gas (1 to 5 ml) are introduced.

Ozone therapy administered subcutaneously is a very versatile treatment: it can be injected in the face, around joints, into painfully tight shoulders or necks, or paravertebrally along the spine. Subcutaneous ozone injections can be also administered around or into a tumor, a cyst, or fibroids. Ozone can be also injected into so called “bioactive points”. I have also witnessed Russian doctors injecting ozone all around the head to successfully treat headaches.

In some parts of the world (Russia, Italy, Spain), subcutaneous ozone injections are administered for cosmetic reasons, hoping to stimulate collagen production and treat wrinkles, saggy skin, cellulite, or to improve hair growth (personally, I have not seen any convincing evidence that this helps).

Joint pain can be treated with subcutaneous ozone injections which do not go as deep as true joint injections. 

1.7. Intra-discal ozone injections (into a disc)

This procedure is also called ozone discectomy and it involves the injection of ozone into bulging discs. The ozone shrinks the disc and makes it retreat from the spinal canal, relieving impingements on the spinal cord.

To administer ozone therapy intra-discally requires image guiding technology to ensure utmost precision when placing the needle.

1.8. Intra-peritoneal ozone insufflation (into the peritoneum)

The peritoneum is a membrane which surrounds the intestines. Ozone can be introduced into the body cavity surrounded by the membrane, and is then absorbed by the tissue. Intra-peritoneal ozone insufflations are performed under surgical settings. They require a small incision into the patient’s abdomen. Dr. Perez Olmedo is a pioneer in this area.

1.9. Ozone injection into a tumor

Ozone gas can be also injected directly into tumors. Usually, just a few milliliters of the gas are injected at an ozone concentration of 20 to 40 mcg/ml. In order to administer the ozone therapy as precisely as possible and depending on the accessibility of the growth, the procedure may require image guiding technology.

2. Non-invasive ozone treatments

Whenever ozone therapy is administered in a way which does not require the skin to be punctured, it's called a non-invasive ozone treatment.

This includes insufflations of various body orifices like the rectum, vagina, ears, mouth, or the stomach, but also topical applications or the ingestion of ozonated liquids.

2.1. Ozone insufflations

Ozone insufflations (also called instillations) are ozone therapy administrations during which ozone gas is introduced into a body cavity to be absorbed by the body tissue. Ozone insufflations are low risk, non-invasive, easy to perform with simple supplies and do not require a doctor’s presence.

Anecdotal evidence as well as clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of ozone insufflations for a wide range of ailments.

2.1.1. Ear ozone insufflations

During ear insufflations ozone gas is infused into the ears. This can be done either with the direct or the indirect method.

During the direct method, a modified stethoscope (earscope) which allows to be hooked up to the ozone generator, transports the gas in a continuous fashion from the machine into the ears. The direct method requires an empty trap between ozone generator and the earscope to muzzle the noise of the machine.

The direct method calls for an intermediary container like a syringe or a bag to be filled with ozone gas first. It is then connected to the earscope and the gas is gently pressed from the bag or syringe into the ears.

Watch the above video or follow this step-by-step guide on how to perform ear insufflations.

2.1.2. Rectal ozone insufflations

Rectal insufflations are one of the most popular type of home ozone applications due to the widely promoted belief that their effectiveness is equivalent to intravenous ozone treatments.

Just like other insufflations, rectal ozone can be performed either directly or indirectly, with the indirect method via a bag being the most popular. There, a bag is first filled with 100 to 750 ml of ozone, and then connected to a catheter which has been inserted into the rectum. By manually squeezing the bag, the contents of the bag are introduced into the colon.

Same can be done with a syringe instead of a bag.

Alternatively, ozone can be infused in a direct and continuous fashion by connecting the inserted catheter with the ozone generator through a silicone tube. The procedure should be timed to make sure that a recommended total volume of ozone gas is not exceeded.

When ozone therapy is administered rectally, the gas volume usually ranges from 100 ml to 750 ml at ozone concentrations from 8 to 100 mcg/ml depending on what is being treated and on the response of the patient. 

Dr. Lahodny is known to slowly introduce up to 2,000 ml rectally in 10 ml increments at an ozone concentration of 80 mcg/ml, a treatment which can take around one hour.

Watch the video above to learn how to perform rectal insufflations with a syringe. Or read the step-by-step guide

2.1.3. Vaginal ozone insufflations

Is ozone therapy administered vaginally, then either a catheter or a special spiral device is inserted and connected with the output of the ozone generator. They are a type of gas rinse: the ozone is poured in continuously for a certain amount of time. Some of the gas is absorbed, and the rest escapes the way it came in. It does not need to be retained.

Vaginal insufflations can also be performed indirectly, meaning with the use of a bag or a syringe, just like ear or rectal insufflations.

When done directly, VIs are performed for 5 to 30 minutes. The ozone concentration typically lies between 20 to 60 mcg/ml.

Vaginal ozone insufflations can be performed in either a sitting or lying position. Watch a step-by-step video or read the guide

2.1.4. Sublingual ozone insufflation

Sublingual ozone (or as I call them “mouth insufflations”) are done by placing a small volume of ozone gas under the tongue and allowing it to be absorbed.

A syringe is filled with 10 to 20 ml of ozone at an ozone concentration of 5 to 20 mcg/ml. A small piece of silicone tubing connected to the syringe serves as the “applicator”. The patient then places the piece of silicone tubing under the tongue, closes his mouth and keeps pressing the tongue against the palate. Breathing takes place through the nose only. The ozone is then squeezed out in increments of 1 to 2 ml. After a few moments, the gas is exhaled, and the procedure is repeated until the whole syringe has been emptied.

It's important to only breathe through the nose  during sublingual ozone insufflations.

2.1.5. Nasal ozone insufflations

During nasal or sinus ozone insufflations, ozone is injected through a syringe into the nose. The patient first takes a deep breath, then inserts the ozone filled syringe into one nostril, empties its contents, removes it, then pinches the nose for a few seconds to prevent ozone from pouring out. After a few seconds, the ozone is exhaled and the same procedure is repeated for the other side.

The used ozone volume is 10 to 20 ml per nostril at an ozone concentration of 5 mcg/ml to 20 mcg/ml.

During nasal insufflations it's important to keep holding one's breath to prevent accidental inhalation of ozone. 

2.1.6. Bladder ozone insufflations

Bladder insufflations are an ozone therapy administration during which ozone gas is introduced via a catheter into the bladder.

First, a syringe is filled with ozone gas. Then, the catheter is introduced, remaining urine is drained, and the syringe is screwed onto the catheter and emptied into the bladder.

The used ozone volume ranges from 60 ml to 120 ml at an ozone concentration of 20 to 40 mcg/ml.

2.2. Transdermal ozone applications

Ozone therapy can be also absorbed through the skin. The human body is able to take in various oxidative substances through its outer membrane and generate beneficial by-products.

There are several ways to administer ozone therapy transdermally: with the help of a sauna, a bag, or a suit which covers the entirety of the body, or just single limbs. Soaking baths in ozonated water, applying ozonated oils topically, or cupping also work through the skin.

2.2.1. Ozone sauna

An ozone sauna consists of two separate parts: a heating element (steam, or infrared) and ozone. The heat opens the pores of the skin and makes it moistt, rendering it penetrable for the ozone.

An ozone sauna has to be designed in a way to allow for the head to stick out to prevent the person from inhaling ozone gas.

Ozone saunas ideally last for 30 minutes, and are performed at an oxygen flow of 1/2 LPM at ozone concentrations ranging from 10 to 30 mcg/ml.

2.2.2. HOCATT sauna

HOCATT stands for hyperthermic ozone carbonic acid transdermal technology and is a form of ozone sauna. The HOCATT treatment promises to enhance “standard” ozone saunas by stimulating blood circulation.

In the meantime, HOCATT saunas have been endowed with PEMF, microcurrent, far infrared, and UV irradiation technology and far infrared heaters. The saunas also allow for the inhalation of pure oxygen or the addition of essential oils during the sauna sessions.

A HOCATT ozone sauna is a type of a pod which allows for the head of the patient to stick out. 

2.2.3. Ozone body bag

An ozone body bag is an alternative to ozone saunas, especially for people who are heat intolerant. A bag or suit made of ozone resistant material which covers the whole body (except for the head) is used to trap the body heat which opens the pores and moistens the skin. An inlet allows for the simultaneous infusion of ozone from the ozone generator. It’s recommended to use the full body bag right after taking a shower or in combination with an electric blanket for extra heat.

Towel-around-neck

An ozone body bag encloses the entire body except for the head. It's a minor alternative to ozone saunas. 

2.2.4. Ozone limb bagging

Transdermal ozone therapy can be administered on single extremities, in which case it’s called ozone limb bagging. The skin of a hand, arm, leg, or foot is first moistened with warm water and then inserted into a bag which is tightened around the skin. Ozone is then infused inside which exposes the skin of the limb to the gas and allows wound, eczema, or sores to heal.

The ozone concentration can be as high as 100 mcg/ml. Ideally, the used ozone generator should have a vacuum function to siphon off the ozone, or the bag should be opened where there is plenty of ventilation to prevent the accidental inhalation of ozone.

Limb bagging with ozone can be used to treat diabetic ulcers. 

2.2.5. Ozonated oils and creams

The topical application of ozonated oils (in most cases it’s ozonated olive oil) is yet another ozone skin treatment. Ozonated oils can be produced at home  or be easily acquired online. They come either as a liquid or a thick paste and can be applied around painful joints, rashes, or as cosmetics.

2.2.6. Ozone cupping

During cupping, a cup is placed on a single spot on the skin and exposed to ozone. This concentrates the ozone stream towards that one spot. The skin needs to be first moistened with warm water to open up the pores. Usually, ozone cups have a destructor attached to them to stop ozone from escaping into the room. Cups with a vacuum function are another way to perform ozone cupping.

2.2.7. Ozone bath

Ozone baths consist of ozone being continuously bubbled through bath tub water with the person being wholly or partially submerged in it. They can be performed as a type of soaking bath or as a jacuzzi. Single limbs can be also treated this way. It’s important to protect oneself from accidentally breathing in the excess gas.

2.3. Drinking ozonated water

Ozonating water means bubbling ozone gas through water. This causes the ozone to be temporarily suspended in the liquid. After water has been infused with ozone, it can be ingested. This should happen on an empty stomach or at least 3 hours after the last meal. After the ingestion of ozonated water, one should wait 15 to 20 minutes before eating again to prevent the food from reacting with ozone and causing gas, cramps, and bloating.

Given that only around 1/4 of the ozone ends up in the water, relatively high ozone concentrations can be used of up to 100 to 120 mcg/ml. Water reaches its ozone saturation after around 10 minutes, longer times are necessary for bigger amounts.

The colder and the less minerals water contains, the more ozone it can absorb for a longer time. It should be consumed within minutes after the ozonation before the gas dissipates.

Drinking ozonated water is a mild systemic but often a very effective way to administer ozone therapy.

hold your breath when drinking O3 water

Ozonated water looks just like regular water, but it smells differently since it keeps losing ozone. The gas then collects on the surface. It's important not to breathe it in during drinking. One should 1. keep the glass away and take a deep breath, and then 2. drink the water while holding one's breath to prevent the accidental inhalation of the gas.

2.4. Breathing ozonated olive oil (BOOO)

When ozone is bubbled through oils, it bonds with them and creates so called ozonides. Those are molecules which largely retain the therapeutical properties of ozone without irritating the lungs.

BOOO, or Breathing Ozonated Olive Oil, is the name of the resulting treatment. It allows to administer ozone therapy into the lungs safely and effectively.

The recommended ozone concentration is around 10 to 30 mcg/ml at the  oxygen flow at 1/2 LPM.

The oil should be fresh, otherwise the patient runs the risk of inhaling pure ozone gas instead of ozonides.

2.5. Rinses with ozonated liquids

Water and saline can be ozonated and used as rinses, douches, or flushes of various organs by introducing them into different body cavities.

2.5.1. Nasal irrigation with ozonated water or saline

Sinus irrigations or flushes can be performed either with ozonated saline or water with the help of either a neti pot or a dropper bottle. The liquid is first ozonated at an ozone concentration of 10 to 40 mcg/ml for at least 10 minutes, and then either used as a sinus rinse or sniffed from the dropper bottle.

2.5.2. Eye drops with ozonated saline

To be able to treat the eyes, saline is lightly ozonated at an ozone concentration of 2 to 5 mcg/ml and used as a rinse through either a dropper bottle or a shot glass.

Dr. Kondrot explains how to use ozonated saline to treat eye problems. 

2.5.3. Vaginal douche with ozonated water

To perform vaginal douches ozonated water is first ozonated at 20 to 100 mcg/ml and then injected via a syringe and an inserted catheter into the female reproductive organ.

2.5.4. Ozone water enama

Rectal enemas with ozonated water are an alternative to rectal ozone insufflations. Water is ozonated at an ozone concentration of 40 to 100 mcg/ml and then inserted via a catheter and syringe or catheter and enema kit into the rectum.

Although the colder the water is the more ozone it can be absorbed, it’s recommended to use room temperature water when administering this type of ozone therapy to prevent uncomfortable contractions and cramping.

2.5.5.  Bladder irrigation with ozonated water

Injecting ozonated water instead of the gas into the bladder is gentler and is accompanied by less burning sensations.

First, a catheter is inserted into the bladder, the remaining urine is drained, a syringe filled with ozonated water is then connected to the catheter and injected into the bladder. After holding the ozonated water in the bladder for a few minutes, it is then expelled.

The recommended volume of liquid ranges from 60 to 200 ml. The recommended ozone concentration used to prepare the water can vary from 50 to 100 mcg/ml.

2.6. Ozonated olive oil

The use of ozonated oils is one of the oldest forms of how ozone therapy can be administered. Ozonated oils contain beneficial ozonides or lipid oxidation products. They can be ingested, applied topically, or inserted into various body cavities.

Ozonated oils are produced by bubbling ozone gas through them: it’s a process which can take several days depending on the type of oil, its amount, and the used ozone concentration. During the ozonation, the oil gradually loses its color and becomes viscous or paste-like. Once oil has been ozonated it will retain the gas for years.

The generation of ozonated oils is not without risks, with most professional ozone oil makers reporting having encountered at least one fire incident. Ozonated oils can be bought on amazon and many other online retailers.

Home made ozonated olive oil: it's a messy and long process. Not something I'd like to do again. Unless as a by-product of BOOO. Best is to outsource the procedure and buy it online. 

2.6.1. Vaginal ozonated oil suppositories

Ozonated oils can be inserted vaginally in the form of suppositories. They can help with yeast issues, smells, and other problems of the female reproductive organs.

2.6.2. Topically as ozonated oils or creams 

Ozonated olive oil can be applied directly on the skin or as a cream which contains ozonated oils. It is used for wound healing, to treat eczema and various other types of rashes and skin eruptions. Ozonated oils are also used cosmetically.

2.6.3. Rectal ozonated oil suppositories

Ozonated olive oil suppositories are used as a minor alternative to rectal insufflations. This type of ozone therapy administration is very mild. Ozone suppositories can be made at home or can be bought online.

There are ozonated olive oil, hemp oil, or castor oil suppositories. They are kept in the fridge or freezer to turn them solid and then removed from the packaging before insertion. 

2.6.4. Ingestion of ozonated oils

Ozonated oils can be ingested and are said to be helpful for all sorts of ailments like intestinal infections, ulcers, or as a digestive aid. (Be careful: the taste is repulsive.)

3. Dental ozone applications

Ozone therapy has been administered in dentistry for decades and it’s gaining in popularity. It can be applied in a multitude of ways, from injections, to ozonated water rinses, or trays. Dental ozone treatments can help with infections and are used as a staple during cavitation surgery.

Promolife offers different solutions for dentists and home users alike. 

3.1. Ozone injections into the gums

Ozone can be injected into the gums surrounding an infected tooth. Usually, just a few milliliters per injection site are applied at ozone concentrations between 5 to 20 mcg/ml.

3.2. Ozone treatment during cavitation surgery

Cavitation surgery deals with the removal of necrotic or infected tissue from inside bones. Ozone is used to sterilize the site before it’s sutured. Ozone is regarded as a staple treatment during cavitation treatments.

Dr. Nischwitz is among many dental surgeons who use ozone during cavitation treatments. 

3.3. Ozone tooth cupping

Applying a cup over single teeth allows for a focused treatment and can possibly help prevent caries.

3.4. Dental ozone trays

Custom made dental trays are able to treat the entire upper or bottom arch with ozone gas and help with gum disease, early cavities, or periodontal disease.

3.5. Rinses with ozonated water

Ozonated water can be used for oral rinses to fight infections, inflammation, or pain.

3.6. Ozone dental handpiece

Ozone therapy can be administered to the teeth in a focused gas stream through a blunt needle to the nooks and crevices in between teeth.

    I've been using Gaylen's (old vid on your channel) ear insufflation method with an old $6 US refrigerator ozone generator, a little silicone funnel, applying a little castor oil with a cotton swab to protect the skin in my ear and, wow. Less than 15 seconds, several times, and…just wow. I can feel my neuralgia in my legs tingling and I've only done it a few times and just today! Given Gaylen's testimony and just a half day's experience of my own, I think ear insufflation is the way to go for a systemic wash. Also blew a little bit under the tongue for a couple of seconds but, keep in mind, the one I'm u sing is quite weak and I've been breathing various levels of ozone from my many ozone generators for about 3 decades so…it doesn't bother me.

    Just got my sauna yesterday so I guess I'll be using it as a regular sauna while I do ear insufflations, instead, ROFL!

    I've also recently learned that the belly button is like a sublingual application – i.e. the poor man's IV.

    Hello, Is direct ozone IV stronger than a 10 pass ?

    • Paola Dziwetzki

      Hi Dan,

      I have known a number of people who claimed that they saw a more powerful effect from DIV than from 10 pass … so it's possible.

      But if you ask what is stronger, one always needs to look at what is being treated …

    Hello! I'm trying to sign up for a consultation & can find no way other than this to ask what the following instruction means:

    “Consultation / Demonstration
    Please, type in the name of your Skype / Zoom {with PASSWORD}. I will contact you at the appointed time at that account. *”

    What PASSWORD exactly is being requested from me?

    Hope to hear from you. Thanks! MJ

      Hi Mary,

      Zoom meetings typically require a meeting ID with a matching meeting password that allow participants to enter the meeting. I think one can also disable it in Zoom, but am not sure. I think per default each meeting comes with a password. So, I would need that meeting password if you want to conduct the meeting via Zoom.

      Skype does not require such a password, just the Skype ID or name.

      Let me know if you have other questions.

      Best,

    Hi, Paola, thank you for a wonderful resource. Could you please do some posts or videos on recommended dosage and frequency for some of the more popular treatments (saunas, ozonated water, 10-Pass/IV's/DIVs), and their best combos, for systemic conditions? is it possible to overdose on ozone?

      Hi Alex,

      As to ozone sauna settings, you can find some here: https://thepowerofozone.com///how-to-guides/how-to-do-an-ozone-sauna/

      Ozone water settings are here: https://thepowerofozone.com///how-to-guides/how-to-make-ozonated-water-for-drinking/

      As to the ozone IVs: really, every doctor and every ozone practitioner has their own preferred dosages and frequencies, which also may change depending on the condition.

      In general, it is more or less accepted that to reach a significant therapeutic effect, ozone treatments should be performed at least three times a week for chronic conditions, daily if it is something acute.

      For the 10 pass the parameters are pre-determined for the ozone concentration: it's 70 mcg/ml, 200 ml of blood drawn, mixed with equal volume of ozone/oxygen mix. Here, the recommendations vary also from daily treatments to once a week.

      For the DIV, there are also wide ranging recommendations, can be from 10 ml to 60 ml at concentrations of 25 to 55 mcg/ml. Some day to do them daily, or even twice daily for acute things. But this is largely dictated by the state of the veins.

      I hope this helps a bit.

    Why can't they use sodium citrate for a 10 PASS? What can they do if you are allergic to Heparin?

    Reply
    • Paola Dziwetzki

      Hi Sharon,

      There is a counter-enzyme that stops heparin's actions. Although I don't know if this works if you are already in a full blown allergic reaction.

      Sodium citrate can't be used for a 10 pass because one would have to use too much of it. And its use is limited to maximum 20 ml per session. If more is used, it can lead to too low calcium levels in the blood.

      Having said that, there is apparently a clinic in Cyprus that does use sodium citrate for the 10 pass, I heard. They use up to 56 ml I believe. I don't know how they circumvent the calcium problem but apparently they found a way …

    Can you go over the pros and cons of the different intravenous methods? Which one is the safest?

    Reply
    • Paola Dziwetzki

      Hi Tom,

      ozone therapy, no matter which type, whether intravenous or not, is one of the safest medical treatments ever invented.

      Ozone IVs are one of the safest invasive medical interventions one can think of.

      Most of the “risks” involve the misinterpretation of the side effects of the anti-coagulants for ozone induced Herxheimer reactions, or actual Herxheimer reactions.

      As to pros and cons of each i.v. method – that's quite a job you're asking me for, which I may take up sometime in the future.

      Best,
