Ozone therapy uses medical‑grade ozone gas, a highly reactive form of oxygen (O₃), administered in controlled therapeutic doses to stimulate biological responses in the body. Ozone can trigger a mild oxidative stimulation in tissues, which increase antioxidant enzyme production, enhance local perfusion, and improve oxygen delivery at the cellular level. This can contribute to biochemical modulation of immune responses, antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and support healing processes in wounds and circulatory tissues.
Proponents of medical ozone therapy also emphasize its potential to modulate inflammation, support detoxification, and stimulate metabolic pathways that facilitate tissue repair and regeneration. It has been explored in contexts such as musculoskeletal pain, wound healing (including diabetic ulcers), immune stimulation, and circulatory support.
