Placement of acupuncture needles along certain points on the body as well as treating local areas where there may be pain, dysfunction or injury. As the needle is placed into the skin and other tissues it creates localized inflammation. With the inflammation occurring the body signals the necessary cells, blood flow to the area in turn to promote healing repair of involved tissues. Acupuncture works to promote relaxation, increased endogenous opioid production and often times a neuro-muscular re-education effect.

The oxygen that we breathe is O2 and ozone is O3. The extra oxygen molecule makes it unstable and highly reactive. This is what allows it to be used therapeutically. When it interacts with other substances it seeks to slough off the extra molecule and in doing so produces an oxidative effect. In chemistry we call this an oxidative process. This is also what makes ozone antimicrobial and it has proven excellent effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

A brief list of its benefits, when the dose is right, include:

improvement of blood circulation and oxygen delivery
improved general metabolism owing to improved oxygen delivery
correct chronic oxidative stress by upregulating the antioxidant system
induces a mild activation of the immune system
procures a state of well-being by activating the neuroendocrine system (Bocci, 2002; 2005)
