It helps the body to heal, by a process called Hormesis.

Moderate stress can be very beneficial, as it stimulates a response from the body.

How? Defence mechanisms of the body are activated in response to a threat, if the threat is manageable, it will be dealt with and resistance to other threats will be established, even being able to repair existing damage.

Other stressors that have a positive effect on the body are things like exercise or cryotherapy.

It depends on the condition approximately 5-10 treatments on average are needed to achieve a desired level of support.  Clients typically begin to notice the effects of Ozone Therapy after the first session but 3-4 sessions are recommended, as it has a cumulative effect.

This depends on the condition that is being treated, during your initial consultation this will be discussed and an appropriate amount of sessions will be recommended.  In most cases treatments are performed once or twice a week.

For general health we recommend 3-5 sessions then a 6 monthly maintenance session although people report benefits after one session.

A session will vary in length from 20-30mins for a 3 pass to 60 minutes for a 10 pass.

A ‘Pass’ means how many times 100ml to 200ml of your blood is drawn through the Ozone machine and infused with Ozone. 2 pass is 2 times, 5 pass is 5 times and so on. The more passes that you do the greater the concentration of ozone in your blood.

More is not always more, often it is more beneficial to have less passes. We always recommend starting with a 2 pass, to see how your body reacts and how you feel.

We take health and safety very seriously at Health Bunker. In your consultation we will take your vitals, such as Blood Pressure and temperature and will ask you questions about your health and what you are hoping to achieve from your treatment so that we can advise you on achievable outcomes. To ensure safety, we require that you provide current medication that you are taking and any health conditions that may be contraindicated. So that we ensure that you are getting the best and safest treatment.

Your therapist will also recommend the concentration of ozone (a concentration between 30-45mcg/ml is recommended for conditions that require anti-oxidant stimulation and higher doses are recommended for those that require oxidant therapies).

Most people don’t feel a difference until they have had 3 or 4 treatments, as ozone therapy is cumulative.  Everyone is different, but you should expect to feel more energised after a few treatments and symptoms should start to reduce.

Here’s what some people say – brain fog simply lifts away, memory improves, thinking becomes clearer, energy is improved, pain is decreased.

IV Ozone therapy is very safe and one of its great benefits is that it generally doesn’t interact with medications. We do not recommend IV ozone therapy for anyone that is taking an ACE inhibitor.

Do you use Heparin in Ozone Therapy?

Yes Heparin is included in the treatment, please speak to our medical team before proceeding with this treatment if you have any concerns as we do have an alternative.

• Hyperthyroidism

• Thrombocytopenia

• Allery to Heparin or citrate (citrus fruits)

• Acute alcohol intoxication

• Haemochromatosis

• Cardiovascular instability

• Active seizure

• Pregnancy

• Ozone allergy (this is very rare)

The side effects are usually temporary and should resolve in a few days or shortly after treatment. Please note that these are possible side effects, and most people don’t experience any.

• Reddening of the skin (erythema) at the site of injection into the vein

• Possible bruising at the vein entry site

• Dry or itching eyes

• Light headedness

• Mild headache

• Phlebitis

• Mild irritation to the lungs with a slight urge to cough

IV Ozone therapy can lead to a detoxification reaction (Herxheimer reaction) which can include fatigue, headache, fever, chills, flushing, body ache and mild hypotension, as we have explained above at The Health Bunker Clinic we start slowly to reduce the risk of this. If this does occur we recommend taking certain nutrients to help eliminate the toxins.

You will generally not feel any pain, except for the initial insertion of the needle into your vein. We take great care to ensure that the process is as painless as possible. Everyone is different and has different pain thresholds, but most feel little to no pain.

You may feel a coolness as your blood re-enters your body.
