1. What is ozone therapy?

Ozone therapy refers to procedures that use a controlled mixture of medical oxygen and ozone. Depending on the method, the mixture may be applied to blood outside the body, injected locally, or used topically. Ozone therapy is currently considered an investigational or complementary intervention. It should not be presented as a proven cure or a replacement for established medical treatment.

2. What is EBOO therapy?

EBOO stands for Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation. During the procedure, blood circulates through a closed external system, where it is exposed to a controlled oxygen and ozone mixture before being returned to the body. EBOO processes blood continuously, unlike MAH, which treats a defined amount of blood in separate stages. Learn more about our EBOO.

3. How much does ozone therapy cost?

The cost depends on the procedure, session duration, medical assessment, equipment, and number of recommended sessions. EBOO usually requires more complex equipment and monitoring than MAH. Patients should request a clear quotation that explains the consultation fee, laboratory testing, procedure cost, and any follow up charges. At Mr.Chai Ozone Denpasar, ozone therapy starts from IDR 725,000.

4.How is ozone therapy administered?

Administration depends on the treatment method. With MAH, a defined amount of blood is withdrawn, exposed to an oxygen and ozone mixture outside the body, and then reinfused. With EBOO, blood circulates continuously through an external system before returning to the patient. Other approaches include local injections and topical applications.

5.What is EBOO treatment used for?

EBOO has been investigated for several circulatory, inflammatory, and chronic health conditions. However, evidence supporting these uses remains limited, and EBOO has not been conclusively proven to treat or cure a specific disease. It should be described as an investigational complementary procedure, not as a guaranteed treatment. Patients should discuss the evidence, alternatives, and expected outcomes with a qualified physician.

6. Is ozone therapy safe?

Ozone therapy is not risk free. Reported effects include discomfort, headache, irritation, bruising, vein inflammation, bleeding, infection, and complications related to vascular access or anticoagulation. Long term safety data are limited, particularly for systemic methods such as EBOO and MAH. Inhaling ozone is toxic. A medical assessment is necessary before treatment.

7. Does ozone therapy work?

The evidence is mixed and depends on the condition and administration method. Some studies report possible short term benefits in selected areas, including certain musculoskeletal conditions and wound care. However, many studies are small, use different protocols, or have a high risk of bias. Clinical effectiveness has not been conclusively established, particularly for EBOO and MAH.

8. How long does EBOO treatment last?

Early published EBOO research described sessions lasting approximately one hour. The total appointment may take longer because of preparation, vascular access, monitoring, and recovery. Duration can vary by equipment and clinical protocol, so the clinic should provide the exact expected appointment time before treatment. At Mr.Chai Ozone Denpasar, EBOO last from 60 minutes to 90 minutes.

9. What is major autohemotherapy?

Major autohemotherapy, commonly shortened to MAH, is a systemic ozone procedure. A defined amount of venous blood is withdrawn into a medical container, exposed to a controlled oxygen and ozone mixture, and then reinfused into the patient. Current research has not established standardized dosing, frequency, or effectiveness across medical conditions.

10. What is the difference between EBOO and MAH?

MAH treats a defined amount of blood in separate withdrawal, exposure, and reinfusion stages. EBOO uses a continuous extracorporeal circuit and can process a larger volume of blood during one session. EBOO therefore requires more complex equipment, vascular access, anticoagulation, and monitoring. There is not enough high quality comparative research to claim that EBOO is clinically better than MAH.
