Ozone Therapy
Used in medicine for over 100 years. Supported by decades of clinical research. And still largely unknown to patients who need it most.
Treatment Overview
What ozone therapy is
and how it works
Ozone therapy has been used in medicine for over a century — and it remains one of the most fascinating and versatile therapeutic tools available to integrative physicians. Medical-grade ozone (O3) is simply activated oxygen — and when introduced into the body under controlled conditions, it triggers a cascade of healing responses.
It modulates the immune system, reduces inflammation, enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, and has direct antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. For patients dealing with chronic infections, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, or toxin burden, ozone therapy can be a powerful complement to other treatments.
"Most patients who come to us for ozone therapy have tried everything else. What surprises them is not that it works. It is how much it works."
— Dr. Margaret Apostol, MD

We Care About Your Overall Health
Why patients come to us
for ozone
Something chronic will not fully resolve
Antibiotics, antivirals, supplements — you have tried them and gotten partial relief at best. Ozone addresses the underlying microbial and immune environment in a way most treatments do not.
Your immune system feels stuck
Whether it is overreacting in an autoimmune pattern or underperforming against chronic infection, ozone is one of the most effective immune modulators available in integrative medicine.
Fatigue and inflammation are your baseline
When fatigue and inflammation have become your normal, ozone therapy improves cellular oxygen utilization and reduces the systemic inflammation that is draining your energy.
You want physician oversight for a powerful treatment
Ozone therapy is effective precisely because it is potent. Dr. Apostol ensures the right protocol, delivery method, and concentration for your specific condition and health history.
Accelerated healing and tissue repair
Reduced chronic inflammation
Immune system modulation
Improved energy and tissue oxygenation

Frequently Asked
Questions
Yes, when administered correctly by a trained physician. Medical-grade ozone therapy has a strong safety record across decades of clinical use worldwide. At Apostol IFM, Dr. Apostol determines the appropriate delivery method, concentration, and frequency based on your individual health history to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
There are several delivery methods depending on what is being treated. Major autohemotherapy involves drawing blood, infusing it with ozone, and returning it to the body intravenously. Other methods include rectal insufflation and topical application. Dr. Apostol will recommend the right method for your condition.
It depends on your condition and how your body responds. Acute issues may require fewer sessions. Chronic conditions like Lyme disease, mold illness, or autoimmune conditions typically involve a series of sessions over several weeks. Dr. Apostol will give you a realistic estimate at your consultation.
Most patients find ozone therapy comfortable and well-tolerated. Depending on the delivery method you may feel mild warmth or a slight detox response afterward. Dr. Apostol will walk you through exactly what to expect before your first session.
Yes, and it frequently is. Ozone works well alongside IV therapy, peptide therapy, detox protocols, and other functional medicine approaches. Dr. Apostol will ensure everything is coordinated and working together.
Some patients notice improvements in energy and inflammation within the first few sessions. For deeper chronic conditions the response builds over a series of treatments. Dr. Apostol will set realistic expectations based on your specific situation at your first visit.
Ozone therapy is generally not covered by insurance. Please contact our office to discuss pricing and payment options before your first visit so there are no surprises.
Ozone therapy is particularly well suited for patients dealing with chronic infections, autoimmune conditions, persistent fatigue, toxin burden, or inflammation that has not fully responded to conventional treatment. If you have been managing a condition for years without fully resolving it, ozone is worth a serious conversation.
