Ozone Therapy
๐ฟ Ozone Therapy in Ayurvedic Context
Ozone Therapy is a natural, non-invasive treatment that uses medical-grade ozone gas (Oโ) to promote healing and detoxification in the body. While Ozone Therapy is not originally a classical Ayurvedic practice, its principles align with Ayurveda's core aim — removing toxins (Ama), balancing energies (Doshas), and enhancing immunity (Ojas).
โจ What is Ozone?
Ozone (Oโ) is a highly active form of oxygen made up of three oxygen atoms. When introduced into the body in controlled, therapeutic doses, it:
-
Increases oxygen delivery to tissues
-
Acts as a powerful detoxifying and antimicrobial agent
-
Boosts the body’s natural immune response
๐งช How Ozone Therapy Works
Ozone is administered in various forms, such as:
-
Autohemotherapy – Ozone is mixed with a small amount of the patient's blood and re-injected
-
Rectal or vaginal insufflation
-
Ozonated oils or water for topical/internal use
-
Ozone sauna (transdermal absorption)
These methods help in oxygenating the tissues, destroying harmful bacteria and viruses, and stimulating antioxidant enzymes.
๐ฟ Common Conditions Treated
Ozone Therapy is used in integrative medicine for:
-
Chronic infections (viral, bacterial, fungal)

๐ Ozone in Ayurvedic Language
Though not described in classical Ayurvedic texts, modern Ayurvedic practitioners may interpret Ozone Therapy as a "Prana-enhancing" technique, as it boosts vital oxygen energy in the body. It is also thought to support the five elements (Pancha Mahabhutas) — especially Air (Vayu) and Space (Akash), which are central to movement and communication in the body.
