Ozone therapy refers to medical practices that use ozone gas. Ozone gas (O3), discovered in the mid-19th century, is a colorless and odorless gas consisting of three oxygen atoms. In the upper atmosphere, a layer of ozone gas protects the earth from the sun's UV rays. Medical Ozone consists of a mixture of 5% ozone and 95% pure oxygen. Oxygen used for clinical use is a medical grade administered in precise therapeutic doses and never by inhalation.
