Asthma and Ozone Therapy

Asthma and Ozone Therapy: The oxygen we inhale is carried by the blood to all cells in our body. However, in some individuals, the oxygen delivered to the cells may be reduced for various reasons.

For example, prolonged exposure to air pollution, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, insufficient exercise, stress, improper diet, lung and cardiovascular diseases, etc. In conditions like asthma, emphysema, and COPD, ozone helps manage the oxidative stress.

In bronchial asthma treatment, the primary concerns are controlling infections, strengthening the immune system, bronchial obstruction, allergic reactions, and oxygen deficiency. Pulmonary hypertension is also common in obstructive lung diseases.

In asthma patients, difficulty in breathing lowers the oxygen levels in the blood and increases carbon dioxide. Ozone helps eliminate infection agents and strengthens the immune system in these patients. Oxygen supplied to the blood triggers the body’s healing mechanisms.

The vasodilator effect of ozone helps asthma patients feel relief. Increased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood alleviates tissue oxygen deficiency (hypoxia). Ozone’s positive effect on endothelial cells in the lungs causes smooth muscles to relax and bronchospasm to resolve, leading to easier breathing.

Chronic bronchitis is the most common respiratory condition. The primary issue of local and general defense strength in this disease is strengthened with ozone therapy. Due to the increase in T lymphocytes and T-helper cells (helper cells), the levels of immunoglobulins such as IgA and IgM in the serum also rise. Immune complexes (immune system agents) increase in circulation, and phagocytic neutrophils become activated. Inflammation of the bronchi decreases, breathing becomes easier, and the amount of secretion (mucus) reduces. Asthma and Ozone Therapy results in a rapid improvement in patients' feelings of suffocation and breathing difficulties.

While medications are necessary, they often leave toxic substances in the body. One of the most positive aspects of ozone therapy is reducing the dosage of medications used. Scientific studies show that in 65% of asthma patients, the dosage of medications has been reduced by more than 50%.
