MEDICAL MINUTE: OZONE THERAPY

What is Ozone Therapy? Dr. Kirk Merrikh from Houston Medical Wellness explains how and when his practice administers it.
Ozone is a colorless and odorless gas that contains three oxygen atoms. Discovered in 1856, it was first utilized in a healthcare setting to disinfect operating rooms and sterilize surgical instruments. Since then, it has been used worldwide to treat colitis in the 1930s and gangrene infections during World War II.
While the FDA stated that ozone is toxic and has no proven medical applications (2019), therapeutic use of ozone is becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide and is being studied by the NIH as a method of treating diseases, wounds, illness and ailments (2022).

Some listed benefits of Ozone Therapy include:
-Inactivating bacteria, fungi, parasites and yeast
-Improving circulatory system by cleaning arteries and veins
-Relieving pain in wounds and fractures
-Stimulating immune system
-Decreasing Inflammation
-Inactivating viruses by preventing membrane fusion
