Ozone Therapy
🌿 Ozone Therapy in Ayurvedic Context
Ozone Therapy is a natural, non-invasive treatment that uses medical-grade ozone gas (O₃) 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).
✨ What is Ozone?
Ozone (O₃) 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
🧪 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.
🌿 Common Conditions Treated
Ozone Therapy is used in integrative medicine for:
-
Chronic infections (viral, bacterial, fungal)

🔎 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.
