Ozone therapy is a treatment that uses ozone — a special form of oxygen — to revitalize your body.
Ozone is commonly known as a natural component of the atmosphere that plays an important role in stratospheric protection by shielding the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, the idea of ozone therapy has a different origin and is based on the chemical and medical properties of ozone.
Ozone was discovered in 1840 by Christian Friedrich Schönbein, and its antimicrobial effects were soon recognized. During World War I, ozone was already being used to disinfect wounds and surgical instruments.
Ozone therapy utilizes oxygen molecules that, unlike the "normal oxygen" (O₂) we breathe, consist of three oxygen atoms. This substance, known as ozone (O₃), is used for therapeutic purposes. Its antimicrobial and immune-stimulating properties make it useful in treating infections, promoting wound healing, and alleviating pain. Controlled application of ozone can assist the body in healing various diseases.
Ozone can act in various ways within the body:
Combatting Germs
Ozone is toxic to viruses and bacteria and can kill or inhibit their activity, making it effective for disinfection and wound cleaning.
Protection Against Cell Damage
Ozone can help the body produce more antioxidants, which neutralize harmful substances and can prevent cell damage.
Strengthening the Immune System
It can stimulate white blood cells and promote the production of substances that strengthen the immune system, thereby enhancing the body's defense mechanisms.
Improved Circulation
Ozone can improve the flexibility and deformability of red blood cells, allowing them to flow better through blood vessels, and it can dilate blood vessels. This can optimize oxygen transport in the body.
More Oxygen for Cells
Ozone can enhance the ability of red blood cells to release oxygen to body cells, which can increase oxygen delivery and facilitate its uptake by tissues.
At Circle Health, we specialize in two main methods of ozone therapy: nasal and rectal application.
Nasal ozone therapy is used to trigger a healing response in the upper respiratory tract by administering medical ozone through the nasal passages. During this therapy, you sit or lie comfortably while ozone is delivered into your nasal passages through nasal cannulas. This treatment lasts 10 to 20 minutes and can help with sinusitis, allergies, and other respiratory issues by reducing inflammation, improving oxygenation, and combating pathogens.
Rectal ozone therapy involves the introduction of ozone into the rectum, enhancing absorption into tissues and organs. You lie relaxed while ozone is introduced into the rectum via a small catheter. This painless treatment takes only a few minutes and can help with systemic diseases, improve circulation, boost immune function, and support detoxification. We often combine this method with colon hydrotherapy to increase effectiveness.
At Circle Health, we place great emphasis on holistic care and individualized treatment. Our experienced therapists are here to provide support and ensure that each session takes place in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Ozone can have anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the formation of substances that trigger inflammation and activating antioxidant enzyme systems. This can support the treatment of inflammations.
Ozone has a strong oxidizing effect that can kill harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Therefore, it is often used to support the treatment of infections.
Ozone therapy can improve oxygen supply and blood circulation in tissues, which could promote the healing of wounds and tissue regeneration.
Ozone can help reduce inflammation and oxidation processes. It is believed that this can support pain management and relief.
Ozone therapy can regulate the immune system by suppressing excessive immune responses. This approach may be promising for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, where the immune system is misdirected and attacks the body's own tissues.
By improving oxygen uptake and reducing lactic acid, ozone therapy can shorten recovery time after sports and enhance athletic performance.
Ozone is attributed with detoxifying effects. It can support the functions of the liver and kidneys, allowing toxins and waste products to be excreted more efficiently.

At Circle Health, the frequency of ozone treatments is individually tailored, depending on your health condition and treatment goals. Our therapists determine the treatment intervals to achieve optimal results – whether for acute conditions requiring more frequent sessions or for long-term health support with regular intervals.
The frequency and severity of side effects from ozone therapy can vary depending on the method of ozone application, dosage, and your individual sensitivity. For this reason, at Circle Health, we prefer to offer well-tolerated methods such as intranasal and rectal application. Possible side effects may include:
