Oxygen therapy is an umbrella term
for a number of closely related leading edge therapies that seek
to promote healing by flooding the body with oxygen.
We use it mostly for chronic fatigue
problems, and sometimes for pain relief.
Ozone is an activated, trivalent (three atoms) form of oxygen. Oxygen is O2
whereas ozone is O3. Over a period of 20-30 minutes,
ozone breaks down into two atoms of regular oxygen - by giving up one
atom of singlet oxygen leaving a single, reactive oxygen atom. Therapeutic
ozone is made when oxygen is electrically activated (using an ozone
generator) to form ozone. Ozone was discovered by Fridereich Schonbein
and was described in a letter written in 1826. It has been used in medical
and naturopathic medicine since the 1870's.
The
main method used at the Finchley Clinic is Transdermal Ozone therapy though
Other methods of Ozone therapy
are employed as well where necessary.
Ozone in Nauropathic
Medicine:
Ozone has a long history
of use in naturopathic medicine as a treatment designed to de-toxify
the body and support health rather than to treat diseases as such,
and this is how we use it.
