Everything Old Is New Again
From fashion trends and vintage technologies used in modern innovations, to the resurgence of lost arts like baking bread, the adage “everything old is new again” resonates deeply for most of us. We’ve recently seen the return of hairstyles (hello, mullet) and listening to vinyl as prime examples of once forgotten trends coming full circle and being popular again. This circular nature of experiences and trends happens in all facets of our lives: fashion, entertainment, and even medicine.
Integrative Medicine
Most people find that there are multiple ways to approach and create health and wellness. While some people choose to follow a traditional medical path, others choose only holistic medicine. Still others integrate the two and use healing modalities from both worlds to reinvigorate themselves, body and mind. Often integrative and holistic medicine practices incorporate wellness methods and ideologies that have been around for long periods of time, including things like acupuncture. As other integrative modalities rise in popularity, they, too, incorporate new techniques and old. For example, IV therapy, which is relatively new, may work in conjunction with ozone therapy, which has been used since World War I, to help you feel your best.
How Ozone Works In Integrative Medicine
Ozone is a chemical compound consisting of three atoms. It’s also a natural gas that is water soluble, so it can dissolve in water or other fluids. It can dissolve in both saline (which is administered via an IV) and blood, and it is used as an adjunctive therapy for both.
Ozone can be incorporated into both saline and blood to help with various ailments. If it is used with blood, the process is called autohemotherapy. The process for autohemotherapy involves a qualified medical practitioner:
- Drawing blood
- Combining that blood with medical grade ozone
- Reinjecting the ozonated blood into the recipient through a vein or IV
It’s a fairly straightforward process.
When used with saline, ozonated saline may be combined with other supplements or compounds to enhance its effectiveness.
Ozone Use In Medical Treatment
Ozone treatment, either via saline or autohemotherapy, may be effective in treating a variety of medical conditions and/or acting as a supportive therapy for others. It can help:
- Some bacterial and viral infections
- Inflammation and some inflammatory and autoimmune conditions
- Improved wound healing
- Some kinds of neuropathy
It may also be helpful in treating pain, including chronic pain and joint pain.
Ozone therapy used in combination with either saline or autohemotherapy can work by increasing oxygenation to cells, optimizing their function.
