What are the Side effects of

Ozone Therapy?
Dr. Minkoff January 30, 2020
Ozone therapy is the use of the water soluble gas ozone
to treat a variety of medical conditions. Ozone is made up
of 3 oxygen molecules (O3) and is a close cousin to
ordinary oxygen which has two oxygen molecules (O2). It
has been safely used since the 1800’s and is gaining
popularity in the U.S. due to the many successes
pioneering doctors are having in its medical application
toward some of the most stubborn diseases of our times.

By increasing the amount of oxygen present in the body,

ozone therapy may help to reduce the clogging of blood
cells; detoxify the liver; decrease uric acid in the body;
improve circulation and oxygen supply; kill viruses,
bacteria and fungus and improve the activity of the white
blood cells.

In medical use the gas produced from medical grade

oxygen is administered in precise therapeutic doses, and
never via inhalation. In our alternative medicine clinic,
ozone therapy is one of the safest treatments available
and it’s very rare for patients to experience side effects.

In a 1980 study done by the German Medical Society for

Ozone Therapy, examined results from over 5,579,238
ozone therapy treatments spanning 644 therapists and
384,775 patients. Of these, there were only 0.000007%,
(40 cases) of side effects noted. Ozone statistically is
proven to be one of the safest medical therapies
available.
Ozone Therapy Side Effects
Listed below are the most common side effects of ozone
therapy

Accidental inhalation may lead to minor symptoms like

burning of eyes, coughing, nausea or vomiting, or mild
headache in very sensitive individual.
Rectal administered ozone may very rarely give mild
discomfort, a feeling of passing gas, gurgling, or mild
cramps. This is all temporary, mild and passes quickly.
Sometimes a patient may have a Herxheimer (Healing)
Reaction (detoxification & healing symptoms) during
which a patient may feel flu-like symptoms or feel a bit
worse temporarily; this improves on continuation of
therapy. This is not an Ozone side effect but a natural
healing process seen in other modalities as well.

Positive Side Effects of Ozone Therapy

Some of the positive side effects that may occur are
primary improvements in the target health condition but
patients may also experience secondary, positive side
effects of ozone therapy such as:

Hair and nails grow stronger, longer and faster

Skin radiates and takes on a healthy glow
More physical energy
Ability to fall asleep faster and easier and reports of more
restful sleep
Needing less sleep

About Dr. Minkoff

In 1995, Dr. Minkoff's wife became ill and her physicians

couldn't find what was wrong. Not accepting their "no
hope" conclusion, Dr. Minkoff went on a search to help
her which led him out of emergency medicine into
complementary and alternative medicine to find the
answers. In the process he gained expertise in Biological
medicine, heavy metal detoxification, anti-aging
medicine, hormone replacement therapy, functional
medicine, energy medicine, neural and prolotherapy,
homeopathy and optimum nutrition. He studied under the
masters in each of these disciplines until he became an
expert in his own right. The answers he found were soon
in demand when others learned of his wife’s return to
good health. In response to this, he and his wife, Sue
Minkoff RN established LifeWorks Wellness Center in
1997 and it quickly became one of the most
comprehensive complementary and alternative medicine
clinics in the U.S.
