Does Ozone Therapy Hurt?
Ozone intravenous therapy. It has nothing to do with the offensive zone. It actually has to do with oxygen, specifically the oxygen in your blood. Perhaps you’ve heard of Ozone therapy or maybe not. Maybe you’re thinking of getting Ozone therapy but are wondering: does this treatment hurt? Keep reading and you’ll get your answer.
Just what is Ozone therapy?
It offers patients a large span of potential benefits which include possibly helping their body heal from stress, illness, or injury by pumping up their natural healing abilities. How it does this is by increasing the level of oxygen in a patient’s bloodstream.
There are two types of treatments related to this therapy. One type is called Major Autohemotherapy. In this treatment, the patient has highly purified ozone put into their bloodstream, which increases oxygen levels in their body. The other type of treatment is named 10 Pass Hyperbaric Ozone therapy. In this treatment, the patient’s blood is drawn, infused with rich and pure ozone, then returned to their system. It’s called 10 Pass because the recommended number of passes that a patient receive for full benefits is 10 passes. It is then recommended they continue with maintenance treatment. That is all variable based on the patient’s condition at initial treatment.
So let’s answer the question posed at the start of the blog: does Ozone therapy hurt?
Well, that answer is not one-size-fits-all. Not everyone has the same response to getting blood drawn. But very likely it will not cause too much discomfort. In fact, because Ozone therapy is an effective and powerful treatment, and a natural one, you are more likely to feel rejuvenated and possibly healthier when you feel the boost of oxygen in your system after you receive the treatment.
Plus, it’s not just rejuvenation that a patient may feel after treatment. Ozone Therapy may even be considered a supplemental treatment that may aid with issues like allergies, asthma, fibromyalgia, anxiety, and other potential maladies which may be causing patients issues in their lives.
Ozone therapy is similar in a lot of ways to another treatment called UBI therapy. Both treatments are about aiding a patient’s blood.
UBI may rejuvenate a patient’s blood, kill bacteria and viruses in their bloodstream, and boost their immunity. UBI therapy has no known negative side effects. Like with Ozone therapy, your blood is drawn, which is where some patients may experience discomfort but is not likely to really “hurt.” The patient’s blood is then passed through an ultraviolet light emitting machine. This cleanses their blood with UV light before returning it to their system.

A NAD+ IV infusion typically takes between 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration can vary depending on the dosage and the individual’s tolerance to the infusion rate. Some people may prefer a slower infusion to minimize potential side effects like nausea or discomfort, which can extend the session time. It’s usually administered in a medical or wellness clinic under professional supervision.
Experiences during a NAD+ IV infusion can vary from person to person. Some people report feeling a warming sensation or slight pressure at the infusion site. Others may experience mild discomfort, like nausea, headaches, or a sense of tightness in the chest, especially if the infusion rate is too fast. The effects can differ based on individual sensitivity and the rate of the infusion.
Each peptide is different, with dosages that can vary from person to person. In general, a vial of any peptide can last about 3-4 weeks. During the consultation, our provider will address dosing and how long the specific peptide will last for you.
No, our providers will address all your questions and concerns with you before your first appointment. Please eat and drink as normal.
In Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) with ozone therapy, a “pass” refers to the process of drawing a certain amount of blood from the patient, infusing it with a precise concentration of ozone gas, and then reinfusing the ozonated blood back into the patient’s body. Each pass represents one complete cycle of this process. In the context of multi-pass ozone therapy, multiple passes (or cycles) are performed during a single session to increase the therapeutic effects. For example, in a 10-pass ozone therapy, the process of drawing blood, ozonating it, and reinfusing it is repeated ten times. This technique is often used to enhance the oxygenation of blood, boost the immune system, and support overall healing. The number of passes used can vary based on the specific treatment goals and the patient’s condition.
The number of ozone passes you can do during a Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) session typically depends on your health status, treatment goals, and the protocol our provider will recommend during your initial visit. In your first visit, you can have 1, 2 or 3 passes of ozone therapy.
To receive more than 3 passes, our provider will have the G6PD test performed by a blood test. The results will indicate whether your G6PD enzyme activity is within the normal range, or if you have a deficiency.
The decision on the number of passes should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, who will consider your individual needs and how your body responds to the therapy. Some patients may gradually increase the number of passes over time as their tolerance improves.
The amount of ozone administered in each pass during ozone therapy can vary depending on the specific treatment protocol and the patient’s needs. Generally, approximately 14,000μg of ozone is administered in each pass.
Each pass of ozone can take approximately 7-10 minutes, this varies from person to person.
A G6PD test measures the activity of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in your blood. This enzyme is crucial for the proper functioning of red blood cells, helping them to protect against oxidative damage. People with G6PD deficiency have lower levels of this enzyme, which can lead to the destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis) when they are exposed to certain triggers, such as certain foods, medications, or infections.The G6PD test is particularly important before undergoing treatments like ozone therapy or high-dose vitamin C therapy. These treatments can increase oxidative stress, which may be harmful to individuals with G6PD deficiency, potentially leading to hemolytic anemia.
