Ozone in medicine began to be used for a long time, in the first quarter of the twentieth century. The study of its beneficial effects on the human body has led to the emergence of such a medical field as ozone therapy.
The action of ozone on the body lies in its powerful antiseptic properties. It is able to destroy all types of viruses, bacteria, fungi. Ozone has an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and healing effect. In some cases, treatment is much more effective than any other methods. Ozone therapy is used in many fields of medicine: in surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, urology, otolaryngology, dermatology, neurology, and in the treatment of sexually transmitted and infectious diseases.
Does ozone therapy have contraindications? Of course, like any medical procedure. Intervention in the human body, even with the best of intentions, is possible only with full confidence in safety.
The methods of ozone therapy are diverse and technically not complicated. Depending on the disease, general or local ozone therapy is prescribed, the introduction of the ozone-oxygen mixture intravenously, intramuscularly and subcutaneously, in the form of irrigation with ozonated water or oily oxygen-ozone mixtures.
The experience accumulated by doctors shows that when using a method such as ozone therapy, side effects are extremely rare. But it should be noted that in some cases the use of ozonated oil can provoke allergic dermatitis. If this happened, then it is necessary to discharge the frequency of the procedures, or even completely cancel them.
When ozone therapy is prescribed, contraindications to it are determined during a thorough examination of the patient, the results of blood tests. The final decision is made by the doctor, but unconditional contraindications are: internal bleeding (if they have recently stopped); pre- stroke condition and stroke, hyperthyroidism; a tendency to involuntary muscle contractions, alcoholysis, the risk of thrombophlebitis and, conversely, low blood coagulation, an allergy to ozone.
Sometimes only intravenous ozone therapy is not possible. Contraindications do not apply to local treatment.
In cosmetology and dermatology, the cleansing and anti-aging properties of ozone have long been evaluated, it is remarkable that local ozone therapy is most often used in this area, the contraindications to which are the least stringent.
As you know, skin problems are often associated with a lack of oxygen in the tissues. And it is necessary for the life of all cells of the body, without exception. Many people suffer from hypoxia, especially in cities. Nervous and physical stress, a sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, age are the cause of oxygen starvation. Without oxygen, oxidative processes slow down, the skin becomes flabby, wrinkled, pale, puffy. Finally, cellulite, these hated body fat, is also the result of a lack of oxygen at the cellular level.
Active oxygen (also called ozone) for cosmetology is a miracle cure. Subcutaneous injections, chipping of problem areas, massage with ozonated oil - all these ozone therapy procedures not only improve the condition of the skin, but also have a healing effect on the entire human body. After several procedures, immunity increases, metabolism accelerates, and vital energy increases.
Is ozone therapy a panacea? There are contraindications to its use, side effects are observed in some cases, and this, undoubtedly, makes us carefully pay attention to ozone treatment. Nevertheless, a wide range of action, the effectiveness of this method is not in doubt.
