Washington D.C. Metro functional medicine specialist, Dr. Tavakoli offers ozone therapy in combination with functional medicine treatments to detoxify the body and promote healing in Chevy Chase.
Ozone is a form of oxygen, which plays a vital role in the healing process by reducing inflammation, lowering the risk of infection, and helping build healthy tissue. While an oxygen molecule contains two atoms, ozone contains three. This extra atom makes ozone extremely reactive and takes the healing benefits of oxygen to the next level.
The third atom attaches itself to bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, breaking down their cell walls and ultimately destroying them.
Ozone therapy may be used to treat a variety of chronic conditions and illnesses and is one of the most versatile treatments available today. Research continues to unveil new therapeutic uses for ozone almost every day.
Find out how ozone therapy can detoxify and heal your body by scheduling your ozone therapy consultation with Delara Tavakoli, M.D. of Tavicare by calling (240) 425-4985 today.
What Is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy is a natural, noninvasive medical regimen that treats many acute and chronic health conditions by stimulating the immune system.
Ozone is also known as activated oxygen. It is essentially a supercharged form of oxygen that attacks germs in the body. Bacteria and other pathogens may become resistant to antibiotics, but cannot persist against ozone, making ozone extremely powerful and effective in eliminating infectious agents in the body.
Ozone has a lifespan of only about 20 minutes and does not harm healthy cells, but oxidizes and kills unhealthy cells. Once it has done its job, it reverts back to oxygen.
Ozone was first used in health care more than 100 years ago to disinfect medical supplies. Today, it is an increasingly popular treatment for everything from chronic wounds to cancer.
The Ozone Therapy Procedure
Ozone therapy is safe when administered by a trained, experienced medical professional like Delara Tavakoli, M.D. of Tavicare. It is typically used in gas or liquid form and may be delivered in a variety of ways, including:
- Major autohemotherapy (intravenous injections)
- Rectal insufflation
- Bladder insufflation
- Ozonated oil
- Ozonated water
- Limb bagging (for ulcers, infections and non-healing wounds)
The most appropriate method for delivering ozone therapy depends on the patient’s medical history and treatment goals. You can expect your case to be carefully reviewed and monitored, as well as your progress, to ensure the treatment is effective and there are no unwanted side effects.
For optimal results, ozone therapy is best used in conjunction with hormone balancing, thyroid and adrenal restoration, improved gut function and lifestyle changes.
