Ozone Therapy for Asthma, Cough Disease

Chronic lung diseases are one of the most common diseases in the society. COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic bronchitis, emphysema), colloquially known as "chronic bronchitis", is a disease that causes restriction of airflow during breathing due to narrowing of the bronchi in the lungs. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the fifth leading cause of death and the second leading cause of long-term disability. Smoking is one of the most important causes of COPD.

Chronic restriction of the airway in these patients leads to respiratory distress, anxiety, fear and chronic fatigue. The effort to get enough oxygen overtaxes the respiratory muscles, leaving the person weak and lethargic. Respiratory distress reduces the patient's daily activity, decreases overall exercise capacity and creates dependency in daily life.

In these patients, the immune system is re-strengthened and regulated by ozone therapy. As a result of the increase in the number of T lymphocytes and T helper cells provided by ozone, immunoglobulins in the structure of Ig A and Ig M increase in serum. Immune complexes (immune system agents) increase in the circulation and phagocyte neutrophils are activated. Inflammation of the bronchi decreases, breathing is relieved and the amount of secretion (sputum) decreases.

Ozone provides adaptation to oxidative stress in respiratory diseases such as asthma, emphysema, COPD, ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome). The main problems that need to be improved in the treatment of asthma are to provide air exchange by eliminating the narrowing of the bronchi, eliminating allergic problems, strengthening the immune system and protecting against infections. Asthma patients who have difficulty breathing experience problems of decreased oxygen content in the blood and increased carbon dioxide. Ozone is therapeutic in these patients by strengthening the immune system and high-energy oxygenation of the blood, as well as eliminating infectious agents.

As a result of ozone therapy, the feeling of suffocation and difficult breathing complaints of these patients are rapidly improving. Although drugs are necessary, they leave toxic substances in our body. One of the most positive aspects of ozone therapy is to reduce the dose of drugs that have to be used. Scientific studies have shown that the doses of medication used in 65% of asthmatic patients have decreased by more than 50%.
