Key Takeaway
Review of ozone therapy mechanisms showing potential benefits for wound healing, immune modulation, and oxidative stress management through hormesis.
Summary
This clinical review examines the mechanisms and applications of medical ozone therapy.
Controlled ozone exposure can trigger beneficial adaptive responses (hormesis), potentially enhancing antioxidant defenses, immune function, and tissue oxygenation.
