Ozone therapy, a technique used to treat pain and chronic inflammation.
Ozone therapy or ozone therapy constitutes a modern complementary therapy with therapeutic successes, particularly in vascular pathologies, therefore, it is an alternative or complementary therapy, used by allopathic medicine.
The use of ozone began in medicine at the beginning of the 20th century, by the doctor Wolff, during the First World War, who observed how septic war wounds healed better under the action of ozone.

The application routes for this type of therapy are usually: autohemotherapy, which is the most common, it is a procedure that is carried out by extracting a small amount of blood to introduce oxygen and ozone into it.
It also serves to improve tissue oxygenation and modulates inflammation. It has an intra-arterial, subcutaneous, intramuscular and intravenous application. The anal route is also an effective option in many treatments, such as in cases of hepatitis or as a substitute for autohemotherapy and in specific disorders of the digestive system.
It is also used in hypobaric treatment (with glass or plastic bowls with two channels, one of which uses negative pressure and the other injects ozone) in varicose ulcers, diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers.
