I’ve been reading up online about ozone therapy. There are all sorts of conflicting theories out there; apparently, it's widely accepted in some places and totally dismissed in others.
I’m looking for actual first-hand accounts from people who have undergone this treatment. It doesn't matter what the specific condition was—I don't personally know anyone who has tried it.
Let me give you my two cents. I actually underwent ozone therapy at my dentist's office. I've been dealing with maxillary sinus issues—went through the whole routine of sinuscope exams and irrigation, blah, blah... Just to give you context, everything reverted to the status quo after six months (that heavy pressure on the tooth), so I went back to the dentist with an X-ray to see if maybe it wasn't even a dental issue after all. My dentist suggested ozone therapy as a fix. His explanation was that they inject ozone into the sinus—he also mentioned it’s frequently used for treating granulomas, which he seems to practice quite often—and it kills off the bacteria, essentially "draining" the infection from the sinuses. I did six sessions, and I have to admit, I felt better. Though, it probably would be wise to repeat the cycle after six months, at least for the sinus issues. As for the equipment, it looks almost exactly like a battery charger, 😁 I can't think of anything else to call it. It has two wires coming out of it with what look like two tiny 3-ounce cups attached to the ends. You hold them against your sinuses for about 10 minutes without moving until the machine shuts itself off. There's zero pain involved; the only downside is that your arms might fall off from holding those little cups steady.
So, that’s the gist of it. It's a bit of a disorganized mess, but I hope it helps you out. One last thing: the cost was $17 when I arrived.
Best,
