There are outdated methods of direct intravenous ozone administration that are now considered by the International Scientific Committee on Ozone to be ill-advised due to the rate of adverse effects. For this reason, we use autohemotherapy for our intravenous ozone treatments. This method allows us to administer ozone to the blood with very low risk of adverse event.

The most common side effects of ozone therapy of any modality is a Herxheimer reaction. This is a response to the release of endotoxins from dying pathogens that can cause flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, headache and fatigue. These typically resolve within hours or days after treatment, and can be mitigated with some of our other therapies.

With insufflations, ozone gas passes through mucous membranes in the nasal cavity so one may experience burning inside the nose at times due to production of single oxygen molecules, which is acidic.
