Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which may or may not be as a result of infection, from bacterial, fungal, viral, allergic or autoimmune issues.

To appreciate and understand its medicinal value, we must look closely at the properties of ozone. Ozone is a colorless gas and each molecule is made up of three atoms of oxygen which are quite unstably bound together. Because of ozone’s positive charge, it has an oxidative effect on organic compounds. It has the ability to neutralize negatively charged foreign cells such as bacteria, yeast, viruses, and parasites, effectively killing active infections. In medical use, ozone is made from pure oxygen with an ozone generator, and the gas is administered in precise therapeutic doses. Ozone therapy has been utilized and extensively studied for many decades altogether. Its affects are proven, consistent, and with minimal side effects.
