Summary:
Ozone therapy can regulate the immune system responses and keep its balance through triggering or suppressing the immune system based on the type and condition of diseases.
Ozone therapy possesses several advantages as follows: 1) Improvement of oxygen-carrying capability of RBCs, the glycolytic pathway, and oxygen delivery, 2) Upregulation of intracellular enzymes with antioxidant function, 3) Induction of immune system responses and secretion of cytokines by producing the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 4) Alleviation of patients' pain.
