What is it?
Ozone therapy is the application, by different methods, of an oxygen–ozone mixture prepared with a medical ozone generator. In Türkiye it is performed within the scope of traditional and complementary medicine by physicians certified in this field. Dr. Zafer Gökdemir holds an ozone therapy certificate.
Methods
- Major autohaemotherapy: A quantity of blood is drawn, mixed with the oxygen–ozone mixture in a sterile set and returned intravenously.
- Minor autohaemotherapy: A small amount of blood is mixed with ozone and injected into a muscle.
- Local applications: Applications under the skin or to specific areas, based on the physician's assessment.
