Researchers of a recent study investigated ozone, a reactive molecule made up of three oxygen atoms, and its therapeutic applications in various forms, like ozonated hydrotherapy, ozonated oil, and more. Ozone therapy is commonly used alongside conventional treatments for skin conditions, such as infections, wound healing, eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. It’s also been studied for its potential benefits in improving skin and gut microbiomes, as well as anti-tumor and anti-aging effects. The therapy works through multiple mechanisms, including antioxidant properties, immune system modulation, and influencing local blood circulation. This study focuses on understanding ozone’s mechanisms in treating skin diseases, aiming to provide strong theoretical support for its application in this context.
