What is Ozone Therapy?
Definition and how it works
Ozone therapy is a medical treatment that uses a therapeutic mixture of ozone (O₃) and oxygen at controlled concentrations. It is administered via several routes: intravenous (major autohemotherapy), intramuscular, rectal or local. Ozone is a potent oxidant that, at therapeutic doses, activates the endogenous antioxidant system, improves tissue oxygenation and exerts antimicrobial, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.
Origin and history
Ozone was first used for medical purposes during the First World War to disinfect wounds. Its systemic use was developed in Germany by Dr Hansler in the 1950s–60s and spread globally from the 1980s onwards.
Benefits of Ozone Therapy
Potent systemic anti-inflammatory effect
Improved tissue oxygenation
Activation of endogenous antioxidant systems
Antimicrobial and antiviral effect
Improved blood circulation
Support for chronic pain and fibromyalgia
Immunomodulatory effect in autoimmune conditions
Ozone Therapy protocol step by step
Pre-treatment analysis
Mandatory G6PD test. Hepatic and renal function blood panel required prior to treatment.
Preparation of the mixture
Certified O₃/O₂ mixture prepared using a calibrated generator. Concentration: 20–40 μg/ml.
Major autohemotherapy
Extraction of 100–200 ml of blood, ozonisation in a sterile glass flask and slow intravenous reinfusion.
Monitoring
Vital signs monitored throughout reinfusion. Total session duration: 45–60 minutes.
Session protocol
10–20 sessions in the initial phase (2–3 per week). Maintenance: 1 session per week.

The science behind Ozone Therapy
Scientific evidence summary
The primary mechanism is activation of the Nrf2 transcription factor, which regulates more than 200 antioxidant genes. Studies published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine confirm the induction of HO-1, SOD and GPx following ozone therapy. Major autohemotherapy (AHT) has demonstrated reductions in IL-6 and TNF-α in controlled clinical trials for rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.
