Ozone Therapy as Medicine of 21st Century

Print E-mail

We are pleased to present Ozone Therapy as a modern high-effective medical technology of using medical ozone for therapeutic and preventive purposes, which already now deserved to be called as Medicine of 21st Century.

Having been known in the West for over 100 years, ozone therapy has become of age in Russia thanks to fundamental and applied studies started in Russia about 25 years ago and unique technical inventions made by the physicists of the Russian Federal Nuclear Center last decade of the 20th century.

Nowadays, ozone therapy represents a genuine alternative to orthodox medicine, particularly in medical conditions where orthodox medicine does not offer an effective treatment. Ozone therapy is characterized by a broad spectrum of non-specific action in numerous, widely spread diseases such as atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, hypertensive disease, diseases of airways, of digestion system, dermato-venereal, surgical, obstetric-gynecological, neurological pathologies, infectious diseases etc.

The gathered practical experience allows making a conclusion that ozone therapy is characterized by simplicity of performance, good tolerance by patients, absence of side-effects or adverse reactions and high medical-social and economic efficiency.

Ozone therapy has an extremely wide range of action, produces a powerful bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, immunomodulating, antihypoxic, detoxication action, is well tolerated by patients and doesn't cause any side effects. The use of medical ozone helps to reduce treatment time, lethality and grade of disability.

Owing to the powerful oxido-reduction potential of ozone, the pathogenetic effect of
ozone therapy develops through its double mechanism of action:

  1. Local action due to disinfection activity versus bacteria, viruses, fungi
  2. Systemic metabolic action resulted in reactivation and restoration of the organism's oxygen homeostasis.
