Ozone Therapy

Medical-grade ozone therapy is a powerful integrative treatment that utilizes the unique properties of ozone gas to stimulate the body's natural healing processes and optimize cellular health.

At Roots, we are proud to offer this evidence-based therapy to help our patients address chronic health challenges and improve overall vitality. Our staff is properly trained and certified in the administration of medical-grade ozone to ensure the highest standards of safety and efficacy.

EDUCATION

Ozone therapy has been used in medical settings for over 100 years. While we typically think of ozone in the atmosphere, medical-grade ozone is a specialized gas made of three oxygen molecules (O3). When introduced to the body in controlled, therapeutic amounts, it acts as a "super-oxygen," triggering various biological pathways that support healing.

Ozone works primarily through a process called hormesis—a beneficial type of "controlled stress" that encourages your body to strengthen its own antioxidant and immune defenses. It helps your cells use oxygen more efficiently, which is the foundation of energy production and tissue repair.

Key biological benefits of Ozone Therapy include:

Immune System Support: Ozone acts as an "immune modulator," meaning it can help wake up an underactive immune system or calm down one that is overreactive (autoimmune).
Antimicrobial Effects: It has natural properties that help the body fight off bacteria, viruses, fungi, and yeast.
Improved Oxygenation: It enhances the ability of your red blood cells to carry and release oxygen into your tissues and organs.
Mitochondrial Health: By optimizing oxygen utilization, ozone supports the "powerhouses" of your cells (mitochondria) to produce more energy (ATP).

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM Ozone

THERAPY?

Because ozone supports the body’s foundational systems—oxygen, energy, and immunity—it can be helpful for a wide range of conditions, including:

Chronic fatigue and low energy
Autoimmune conditions and chronic inflammation
Lyme disease and co-infections
Chronic viral or fungal infections (EBV, Mold, etc.)
Wound healing and skin issues
Joint pain and musculoskeletal inflammation
General longevity and wellness optimization

It is important to know that Ozone Therapy works best as part of a "bigger picture" plan. At Roots, we integrate it alongside nutrition, gut health support, and lifestyle changes to achieve the best long-term results.

HOW IS IT ADMINISTERED?

There are several ways medical ozone can be administered, and the method chosen depends on your specific health goals. Common methods include:

Major Autohemotherapy (MAH): A small amount of blood is drawn, infused with ozone, and then returned to the body.
Insufflation: Ozone is gently introduced into a body cavity (such as rectal or ear or vaginal) for systemic or localized benefits.
Prolozone / Local Injections: Ozone is injected into joints or soft tissues to reduce pain and stimulate repair.

The frequency of treatment varies depending on the condition being treated. Some patients benefit from a short "boost" series, while others with chronic conditions may utilize ozone as an ongoing part of their wellness protocol.

Is it safe? Yes. There are hundreds of thousands of published studies regarding the safety and efficacy of ozone therapy. When administered by trained professionals using medical-grade equipment, it is considered extremely safe with very few side effects.
