What is ozone therapy?
Ozone Therapy utilises ozone – a colourless gas made up of three oxygen atoms, to improve your body’s intake and use of oxygen.
If your oxygen level is 88% or below, Ozone Therapy is often recommended to ensure your blood has enough for your body’s needs. Ozone has been used successfully for at least 80 years in many countries to treat over 150 diseases including cancer, HIV/aids, diabetes, stroke, depression, chronic fatigue, lupus, fibromyalgia, and more. This is because no disease can thrive in an alkaline, oxygen-rich environment.
The beauty industry has also started to use oxygen in various skincare treatments and creams to detoxify the skin, improve its tone and texture and minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Angie Clausen, who is the founder of Oxylisious Ozone Therapy in Durban is passionate about health and wellness. She believes that when it comes to looking after yourself and avoiding chronic conditions, prevention is better than cure. In her experience, she’s found that Ozone Therapy is one of the best ways to prevent and treat many health-related conditions.

How does Ozone Therapy work?
One of the most common ways to have Ozone Therapy is through a special capsule or case, also known as Ozone sauna therapy. You simply sit inside the capsule, which closes around your whole body, just leaving your neck and head open. The capsule then releases a combination of warm steam, CO2 gas and an ozone/oxygen mixture into the sealed off chamber for around 30 minutes. If you love sitting in a sauna, then you’ll love this treatment!
Ozone therapy for skin conditions
“If you are suffering from skin problems and can’t seem to find a product that works for you, you might want to consider the steam sauna therapy treatment,” says Angie. Skin conditions such as acne, rash, eczema, psoriasis, scarring, candida/thrush, sores and warts are treated with this therapy which opens the pores to promote purification by ridding the body of toxins and free radicals through the process of sweating. It’s simple, but it works!
