Ozone Therapy
Oxygen-ozone treatments offered for immune support and chronic inflammation. What they involve and why the questions below matter more than usual.
What it is
Ozone therapy refers to a group of procedures that use a mixture of oxygen and ozone, delivered in several possible ways. Providers offer it for immune support and chronic inflammation, among other goals.
The FDA has not approved ozone therapy and has cautioned about certain uses. That does not tell you what any individual provider offers, but it does make transparency, method, and informed consent especially important. The questions below are where a careful provider stands out.
Providers commonly offer it for
- Immune-support protocols
- Chronic inflammation goals
- Wellness and recovery programs
Offered for, not a claim of results. Ask any provider what the evidence shows for your specific situation.
What a first visit usually involves
- 01A consultation about your goals and history.
- 02A clear explanation of the delivery method being proposed.
- 03The procedure, delivered as a session or a short course.
- 04Follow-up to review how you are responding.
Questions to ask a provider
The difference between a careful clinic and a marketing operation is usually in the answers to these.
- 01How is the ozone delivered, and why that method?
- 02How do you handle the fact that ozone therapy is not FDA approved?
- 03What are the risks, and how do you obtain informed consent?
- 04What evidence supports this for my specific goal?
On the evidence
Ozone therapy is not FDA approved and evidence is limited and contested. Weigh any provider's claims carefully and ask for specifics.

Common questions
Is ozone therapy FDA approved?
No. The FDA has not approved ozone therapy and has cautioned about some uses. Ask any provider directly how they address that.
How is it delivered?
There are several methods. A provider should explain exactly which they use and why before proceeding.
What should I watch out for?
Be wary of strong claims, and look for clear informed consent and a frank discussion of risks. Credentials being checked is a starting point, not a substitute for these questions.
