What Is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone (O3) therapy is a treatment that works to increase the amount of oxygen in your body by administering medical-grade ozone to create therapeutic responses. The treatment, which stimulates immune functions, was introduced in the United States in the early 1980s, though it has been used throughout Europe for decades for many types of diseases and conditions.

Ozone therapy works in conjunction with your body’s ability to renew and regenerate itself. The treatment emphasizes the notion that sickness results when the body is unable to perform its natural response of self-healing. The reactive properties of ozone stimulate the body to work to remove these barriers so it can restore itself.

Rectal Insufflation 

Rectal Insufflation is a specific form of ozone therapy that is especially useful for individuals suffering from illnesses or diseases that originate within the gut, colon, or liver. At Your Vitality, Rectal Insufflation is utilized as a standalone treatment or in combination with other Ozone therapies as part of a customized treatment plan.

Like other forms of ozone therapy, Rectal Insufflation has proven to be a valuable addition to our practice. Using this service, we can treat the root of the issue, providing complete relief instead of temporary relief from the symptoms one is experiencing. 

This treatment is safe, effective, and offers many benefits including the following:

• Decreased toxins found in the gut and body
• Boosted immune system and immune response
• Restored gut health and function to optimal levels
• Reduced chronic inflammation throughout the body
• Kills bacteria, parasites, viruses, fungi, and yeast
• Relief for patients who struggle with chronic conditions and autoimmune diseases that affect the gut or colon.
• Fibromyalgia
• MS
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Macular Degeneration
• Diabetes
• Lyme Disease
• Candida Overgrowth

Rectal Insufflation is the introduction of pure, medical-grade ozone directly into the colon. Approximately 200cc of ozone is administered into the colon using a rectal catheter. This form of ozone therapy is unique in the fact that ozone is quickly and easily absorbed through the walls of the colon. Additionally, it can enter the bloodstream where it flows throughout the entire body. 

What is Limb Bagging?

Limb-bagging introduces topical ozone gas directly to an affected area of the skin. A limb, such as an arm or leg, is covered with a plastic bag that is filled with ozone gas through a small opening in the bag.

How does limb bagging work?

Many use a clear PVC bag (or any plastic bag) and evacuate the air. Secure it at the top and bottom. Insert the ozone gas on one end and have another tube for evacuation of the gas through a charcoal destruct so ozone does not escape. Different levels of gas (gamma) are recommended for either disinfection or to promote healing tissue reconstruction.

What conditions benefit from Limb Bagging Ozone?

This application is helpful in the treatment of many types of topical infections including:

• Diabetic ulcers
• Onychomycosis (fungal nail infection)
• Athlete’s foot
• Tinea versicolor
• Bacterial Infections
• Wound healing

Ozone’s anti-microbial effects have been found to be quite effective for treating infections of the skin and nails in clinical research. Fungal infections of the nails have responded better to ozone treatment than standard medical treatment, as well the skin ulcers showing a significant improvement.

How frequent are the treatments?

Usually, 1-5 times per week, 1-2 times per day depending on how severe the problem is until the problem abates.

Is Limb bagging Therapy painful?

No. There is no pain or pressure buildup with Ozone.  If you experience any discomfort the doctor will lower your dose. Children tolerate it well.

How long does it take to perform?

The procedure is usually 20-30 minutes and is repeated daily.
