Description

Ozone, a gas, is made by three oxygen atoms. It is used for different procedures. Ozone therapy is used to treat a wide range of diseases and seems to be particularly useful in the treatment of many chronic diseases. It acts via the controlled oxidative stress that promotes an up-regulation of the antioxidant system and a modulation of the immune system. Ozone therapy doesn’t have any side effect and was useful in fibromyalgia management, where the employed therapies are very often ineffective. Ozone therapy is also going to be studied in phase III clinical trials to standard management of patients with advanced ischemic heart disease. Besides, ozone therapy was studying for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B.
