In recent years, integrative medicine has gained momentum as a compassionate and effective way to address health imbalances. Among its many tools, ozone therapy has emerged as a highly versatile and respected approach—not simply an oxygen-based technique, but a fusion of scientific knowledge, clinical experience, and a holistic understanding of healing.
What Is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy involves the medical use of a mixture of oxygen and ozone to stimulate biological processes in the body. One of the most common methods is autohemotherapy, where a small amount of the patient’s blood is extracted, mixed with ozone, and reintroduced into the bloodstream. This process sets off a therapeutic cascade that extends far beyond just oxygenating cells.
How Ozone Acts in the Body
Unlike stable oxygen molecules, ozone reacts upon contact with tissues by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). These byproducts generate a controlled biological “alarm signal” that activates the body’s own defense, repair, and antioxidant systems. When used in precise doses by trained professionals, ozone becomes a powerful modulator of cellular equilibrium and systemic homeostasis.
Common Medical Applications
Ozone therapy is used as a complementary treatment in a wide range of clinical situations, such as:
- Chronic pain and degenerative joint diseases like osteoarthritis
- Recurrent viral infections and shingles
- Circulatory and vascular conditions, including ischemic disorders
- Intestinal inflammation and digestive imbalances
- Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
- Slow-healing wounds and chronic ulcers
In each case, ozone therapy contributes to better tissue oxygenation, inflammation control, and immune support.
A Holistic Perspective
What sets integrative medicine apart is its person-centered philosophy. Instead of focusing solely on symptoms, it considers the patient’s full context: lifestyle, emotional state, and social environment. Ozone therapy fits seamlessly into this model by acting on multiple levels:
- Physical: Improves blood flow and supports cellular regeneration
- Cellular: Stimulates antioxidant enzyme production
- Immune: Modulates immune responses, useful for both autoimmune conditions and immune deficiencies
- Emotional: As physical wellbeing improves, patients often report a boost in energy and mood
It can be combined with nutrition, stress management, physical activity, and other therapies—both natural and conventional—for a truly personalized care plan.

Safe, Evidence-Based Treatment
Although some myths persist around ozone therapy, scientific research supports its use in controlled, clinical settings. The key lies in qualified practitioners and certified medical equipment. At our center, led by Dr. Diego Hernández, ozone therapy is delivered under strict ethical and medical protocols to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
What to Expect in a Session
Each appointment begins with a personalized medical evaluation. The appropriate method of ozone administration is selected—most often autohemotherapy or localized application—and the session lasts around 30 minutes. Many patients report feeling lighter, more energized, and experiencing reduced pain after just a few sessions. However, results vary depending on individual cases and consistency with complementary therapies.
