Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a reactive form of oxygen, not ordinary oxygen therapy. If you are considering it for a health concern, an individual discussion should identify the exact method, intended use, and evidence before any treatment decision.
Bring your symptoms, medical history, and current care. Evidence for many broad wellness claims is limited, and inhaled ozone can injure the lungs. Your provider should compare method-specific risks and uncertainties with safer or better-established options; essential medical care should not be delayed.
Questions to bring to a consultation
- What concern should ozone therapy address?
- What evidence supports the proposed method for that concern?
- What are the known risks and uncertainties for that method?
- Are safer or more established treatments available?
Understanding
Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a highly reactive form of oxygen. It is not the same as ordinary oxygen therapy, and its use in medicine requires a clear explanation of the intended method, the evidence for that use, and the risks involved. Evidence for many broad wellness claims is limited, so the most useful conversation starts with the specific concern you want to address.
Inhaling ozone is harmful and can injure the lungs. Any proposed ozone approach should be discussed in terms of its safety profile, potential risks, and whether it is the best option for your concern. A provider should explain what is known, what is uncertain, and whether established care may be safer or more effective.
A personalized approach to ozone therapy
Start with the Concern You Want to Address.
A consultation is the best place to understand whether ozone therapy is relevant to your concern. Bring your symptoms, health history, and any treatments you are already using. A provider can then explain the proposed method, the evidence for that use, and whether safer or more established options should be considered first.
01 — Consultation
Bring your symptoms, health history, and any treatments you are already using. Explain what you hope to improve and why you are considering ozone therapy.
02 — Evaluation
Review the proposed method, the evidence for that use, and the risks that apply to your concern. Ask whether safer or more established options should be considered first.
03 — Personalized Plan
If ozone therapy is considered, discuss the proposed method, consent, uncertainties, alternatives, and what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
04 — Ongoing Care
After treatment, follow any instructions provided, report unexpected symptoms, and confirm who to contact for concerns. Do not assume repeated sessions are beneficial without a follow-up review.
A Considered Approach to Ozone Therapy.
At Basis, a conversation about ozone therapy should start with your concern, not with a treatment.

The goal is to compare options clearly and make a decision based on the best available information for your concern.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ozone therapy refers to medical approaches that use reactive oxygen for a specific health purpose. Because methods vary, the term alone does not describe a treatment; the exact method and intended use must be explained before it can be evaluated.
Evidence for many broad wellness claims is limited. Ask for research relevant to the exact method and your concern, rather than relying on general oxygenation or detoxification claims. A provider can help compare the proposed method with safer or more established options.
No; inhaling ozone can injure the lungs. Any proposed ozone approach should be discussed in terms of its safety profile, potential risks, and whether it is the best option for your concern. Ozone should not be treated as harmless because it contains oxygen.
Suitability depends on the exact method, your medical history, and any medicines you are taking. Share all conditions, medications, and pregnancy status so your provider can discuss contraindications and better-established options.
Risks may include tissue injury, reactions, infection, or serious complications related to the method used. Ask about both known risks and uncertainties before agreeing to any treatment, and compare those risks with safer or more established options.
It should not replace necessary medical care or delay diagnosis of an illness. Discuss your existing treatment with a qualified provider before considering any additional approach, and ask whether ozone therapy is the best option for your concern.
