The use of ozone therapy in clinical settings is becoming increasingly widespread due to its clear benefits and its rectal application not only promotes better health for your intestine but is also safe and with almost no adverse effects.
Ozone therapy, especially rectal insufflation treatments, is highly beneficial. The flow of ozone gas applied to the gut is converted into oxygen, eliminates free radicals, and is enormously effective against pathogenic microbes, promoting a healthy microbiota that thrives in an oxygen-rich environment.
It is a very effective therapeutic supplement that can prevent the onset of degenerative, infectious, and metabolic diseases or favorably influence their evolution.
Like other forms of ozone therapy, rectal insufflation has been shown to be a valuable addition to clinical practice by treating the root of the problem, providing complete relief rather than temporary relief from symptoms.
Rectal insufflation is a safe and effective treatment that offers many health benefits. Some of the most important are:
There are several forms of therapeutic application of ozone and rectal insufflation is one of the oldest applications of ozone therapy. It is simple and practically free of adverse effects if the doses used are correct.
Treatments are carried out with the help of an exceptionally fine cannula that is inserted into the patient’s rectum through which the oxygen/ozone mixture is very gradually insufflated.
The procedure takes about 15 minutes and is very well tolerated. The patient can return to normal activity post-procedure.
Intestinal ozone therapy improves the general and local oxygen supply. At the local level, this restores cellular oxidation and, as a consequence, normalizes microcirculation, stimulating the regeneration of the intestinal epithelium and improving local immunity.
It targets pathogenic micro-organisms without producing harmful effects on the intestinal microflora, thus contributing to the normalization of the microbial balance.
It is used as a local anti-inflammatory and disinfectant, as well as to restore the microbial balance in the intestine altered by pathogenic micro-organisms. It is therefore recommended for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, candidiasis, dysbacteriosis, etc. It is also remarkably effective in case of liver problems, constipation, hemorrhoids and fistulas.
On the other hand, it is also applied as an alternative to intravenous ozone therapy when the latter is difficult to perform, as it is rapidly absorbed by the lymphatic pathway and venous capillaries and has a generalized metabolic and immunomodulatory impact.
Rectal insufflation is a greatly beneficial form of ozone therapy for those suffering from pathologies related to the intestine, colon or liver. It can be used as a stand-alone treatment or combined with other ozone therapies within a specific personalized treatment plan.
If you are struggling with yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis, also known as BV, vaginal ozone insufflation may provide significant improvement. Ozone therapy is a form of oxygen therapy that can be delivered vaginally either in small doses through a syringe, or via a continuous method over the course of 10 minutes. It provides bactericidal, antiviral, and fungicidal effects without elimination of the normal vaginal flora. It also optimizes the local immune response. For women with cervical dysplasia, I offer safe alternative treatments to LEEP. Read more about Escharotic Therapy here. However, many women are told they have HPV and/or cervicitis, which means inflammation of the cervix, which is not dypslasia. In this scenario women are told to watch-and-wait and left without any treatment options for the HPV. It is still time for action and there is so much we can do! Whatever the vaginal infection is, your immune system is not fighting it. Ozone therapy has historically been used to treat all sorts of vaginal infections. When combined with other testing and therapies, the outcome is improved!
There are advanced vaginal tests that your doctor can perform to assess the microbiome. We use premier PCR testing of both the urine and vaginal area to asses the vaginal microbiome including bacterial and fungal species. This is an important step to identifying any other organisms that are present. Often women with vaginitis symptoms (itching, burning, discharge) are tested only for yeast and BV and what we have found is there is often another organism present that is making it more difficult to clear the BV or Yeast. When we treat that other organism symptoms improve.
Your doctor should also get baseline blood work, including inflammatory markers, a metabolic panel, a blood count, and nutritional testing such as zinc, vitamin D, iron, vitamin A to assess your immune health.
Eat nutritious balanced meals, get adequate rest, and make time for quality sleep. This is the foundation of your immune system.
There is a clear association between hormonal imbalances and frequent vaginal infections. Baseline hormone testing should also be considered.
Herbs such as berberis, garlic, caprylic acid and echinacea, to name a few, may be supportive depending on the type of infection, in treating and preventing vaginal infections. Probiotics, L-Lysine, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Zinc are all nutritional supplements that may be helpful taken orally. Consult a provider that is knowledgable in these remedies to develop a customized plan for you
