Ozone therapy, despite past concerns, shows therapeutic potential for various diseases by triggering specific biological pathways. Further evaluation is recommended for this simple, cost-effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical science
  • Medical applications of ozone

Background:

  • Ozone is a toxic respiratory pollutant but has therapeutic uses.
  • Past misuse and negative perceptions have created skepticism about ozone therapy.
  • Recent research clarifies ozone's biological and medical mechanisms of action.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the fundamental mechanisms of ozone therapy.
  • To highlight its therapeutic utility in specific diseases.
  • To advocate for critical evaluation by health authorities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of basic and clinical research over the past decade.
  • Analysis of ozone's molecular, biochemical, and pharmacological pathways.
  • Examination of clinical outcomes in various diseases.

Main Results:

  • Controlled ozone doses initiate a cascade of chemical compounds.
  • These compounds act on multiple cellular targets via known pathways.
  • Ozone therapy demonstrates efficacy in age-related macular degeneration, ischemic diseases, infectious diseases, and wound healing.

Conclusions:

  • Ozone therapy offers a viable treatment option where conventional medicine falls short.
  • The mechanisms of action are well-understood, justifying its therapeutic use.
  • National and international health authorities should critically evaluate ozone therapy for widespread clinical benefit.
