Some facts about "ozone" as an alternative remedy
Ozone (O3) is a molecule consisting of 3 oxygen atoms. "Ozone" comes from the ancient Greek ὄζειν ozein "to smell", ὄζον ozon: literally "that which smells" - we know the characteristic smell of ozone from the characteristic odour after a summer thunderstorm.
Ozone is the high-energy form of oxygen (O2). While oxygen consists of only two oxygen atoms, the ozone molecule has a third atom. As a result, it is extremely willing to bond and reacts with numerous substances. O3 triggers oxidation, i.e. the combination of oxygen atoms with other molecules. Because of its reactivity and instability, O3 can inactivate micro-organisms, stimulate oxygen metabolism in tissues, oxidise certain pro-inflammatory mediators and release growth factors in platelets. By binding to harmful substances, it neutralises them and breaks them down into harmless substances. Formaldehyde, for example, is broken down by O3 into water, carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Through a process called "ozonisation", ozone can be incorporated into the structure of the oil. The reaction of a fatty acid with ozone produces new, reactive compounds such as ozonides, peroxides and aldehydes. When used externally by application, these compounds can penetrate into deeper layers of the skin and release the oxygen (O2) they contain directly to the damaged tissue over several hours. In this way, the tissue is supplied with more oxygen and germs and viruses can be partially reduced.
The ozonisation of oils also produces the acids caproic and pelargonic, whose antimicrobial (germicidal) and fungicidal effects have long been known.
The increased oxygen supply to the tissue and improved blood flow in the epidermis stimulate cell regeneration and wound healing. Scientific study on the use of ozonated oil for cell regeneration and wound healing.
Ozone oil has been proven to be effective against viruses, bacteria and parasites. The successful treatment of fungal infections with ozonised oil was investigated and confirmed in this scientific article.
Ozonised oil can be used internally and externally for many different applications. Only the absorption of the gas via the respiratory tract is harmful; this risk is not present with ozonised oil because the gas is bound in the oil.
