You may have heard ozone therapy mentioned on wellness podcasts or by friends who swear by it. But what actually happens during an ozone UV IV?

Here's a clear, honest explanation of ozone UV IV therapy at iCRYO Westminster (https://icryo-westminster.com/services/ozone-uv-iv): the process, the reasoning behind it and what to know before you try it.

## What Is Ozone?

Ozone (O₃) is a form of oxygen made up of three oxygen atoms instead of two. Medical-grade ozone is produced from pure medical oxygen using specialized equipment.

**Important:** Ozone should never be inhaled. In therapy, it's mixed with blood in a closed, controlled system.

## What Is UV Blood Irradiation?

UV blood irradiation exposes blood to ultraviolet light as it passes through a special device before being returned to the body. It has a long history of use and is being studied today for wellness applications.

## How Ozone UV IV Therapy Works

While the exact protocol varies, a typical session looks like this:

1. **A small amount of blood is drawn** into a sterile container
2. **Medical-grade ozone is mixed** with the blood
3. **The blood passes through UV light**
4. **The blood is returned** to your body through the IV

Everything happens in a closed, sterile system.

## Why People Try It

People seek ozone UV IV therapy for:

- Immune support
- Wellness and energy
- Support for circulation and oxygen utilization

See Ozone UV IV Benefits: What It's Used For (https://icryo-westminster.com/blog/ozone-uv-iv-benefits) for an honest look at the research.

## What to Expect

1. **Screening and consultation**, which may include tests like G6PD
2. **IV placement**
3. **The ozone UV process**
4. **Relax** during your session
5. **Back to your day** afterward

## Who Should Not Get Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy isn't for everyone. It may not be appropriate if you:

- Have G6PD deficiency
- Are pregnant
- Have an overactive thyroid
- Have bleeding disorders or take blood thinners
- Have had a recent heart attack or have certain heart conditions

## How It Compares to a Standard IV

Ozone UV IV is very different from a vitamin drip. Read Ozone UV IV vs. Standard IV Drips (https://icryo-westminster.com/blog/ozone-uv-iv-vs-standard-iv).

## Ozone Therapy Myths vs. Facts

**Myth: "Ozone therapy means breathing ozone."** Fact: Ozone should never be inhaled. In ozone UV IV therapy, it's mixed with a small amount of blood in a closed, sterile system.

**Myth: "Ozone therapy is FDA-approved."** Fact: It isn't FDA-approved to treat any medical condition, and high-quality human research is limited.

**Myth: "It's safe for everyone."** Fact: Some people, including those with G6PD deficiency or certain thyroid, bleeding or heart conditions, shouldn't receive ozone therapy. Screening is required.

**Myth: "It's just like a vitamin drip."** Fact: The process is completely different. Read Ozone UV IV vs. Standard IV Drips (https://icryo-westminster.com/blog/ozone-uv-iv-vs-standard-iv).
