Ozone is the active form of oxygen consisting of 3 atoms of oxygen instead of the usual two atoms. It is created by passing an electrical spark through a tube with medical grade oxygen. Another way ozone is created is by lightning during a thunderstorm. This creates the fresh smell we experience after a storm.
Is Ozone a New Therapy?
No. Ozone was discovered in 1840 in Germany by Christian Schonbein. Documentation of ozone therapy can be traced back to 1881 when Dr. Kellogg mentioned its use as a disinfectant the treatment of diphtheria. In 1885, the Florida Medical Association published “Ozone” by Dr. Charles J. Kenworthy, MD, detailing the use of ozone for therapeutic uses. Ozone was used by Benedict Lust, the father of naturopathic medicine. Since then, many more uses have been discovered for ozone. Today, after 125 years of usage, ozone therapy is a recognized modality in sixteen nations..
Is Ozone Harmful?
Ozone is an extremely powerful purifier. Interestingly, ozone is used in water treatment plants to sterilize equipment and neutralize chemicals. When we hear reports of a high ozone count, we know there is actually a high smog and pollution count. Unlike all of the different pollutants (nitric oxide, sulphuric oxide), ozone is easily measured and therefore the ozone count is used to tell how high the pollution is. When pollution is high, the earth creates ozone in an attempt to heal and purify itself, keeping our air breathable. Ozone is extremely beneficial when used properly.
