Evidence and research
What questions should I ask an ozone therapy practitioner before booking?
Ask an ozone therapy practitioner what training they hold, whether they take a medical history, what ozone concentration and session length they use, whether your head stays outside the chamber, and what evidence supports the specific benefit they claim. A practitioner who takes no medical history is a warning sign.
The most useful single check is whether the practitioner takes your medical history before your first session.
Questions worth asking
On safety and setup
- Do you take a written medical history and ask about medication before the first session?
- Does my head remain outside the sauna throughout? Ozone is toxic to the lungs if inhaled.
- Is the ozone generated from a medical oxygen source rather than ambient air? That is all “medical ozone” means: the feed gas, not a certification.
- What ozone concentration and session duration do you use, and how do you set them for a first-time client? Concentration in parts per million is not output in milligrams per hour, and the session settings — length, temperature, ozone level, how often you return — should be something they can state.
On competence
- What training have you completed, and who provided it? Outlets we supply get our operating manual and training videos, and safety guidance through theBooking.site. That is training and support, not an accredited qualification.
- How is the equipment serviced, and how often?
- What would you do if a client reacted badly mid-session?
On claims
- What specific study supports the benefit you are describing? Can you give me the journal and year, or a link?
On your own care
- Do you advise clients to tell their doctor? The answer should be yes; we advise clients to notify their doctors when doing ozone therapy.
A good practitioner answers these plainly.
