Ozone Therapy in Edmond
A measured amount of your own blood is drawn, mixed with medical-grade ozone gas, combined with saline and returned to you through an IV. The visit takes about an hour, and a consultation comes first to decide whether it is right for you.
What is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone is a form of oxygen made of three oxygen atoms instead of the usual two. In ozone therapy, medical-grade ozone gas is mixed into a small, measured volume of your own blood outside the body, and that blood is then returned to you through an IV. The ozone is never inhaled.
At Encompass, a standard ozone treatment works like this: we draw a measured amount of your blood, mix the ozone gas into it, combine it with saline and give it back to you through the IV. Plan on about 60 minutes for the visit, spent relaxing in our IV room.
Ozone, and high-dose ozone in particular, is offered by only a handful of practices in the Edmond and Oklahoma City area. If you have been reading about it and want to know whether it makes sense for you, the consultation is where we answer that honestly, including when the answer is no.

Two Ways We Give Ozone
Standard ozone and high-dose EBOO differ in how much blood is treated in one session
Standard Ozone (60 minutes)
A measured amount of blood is drawn, ozonated, mixed with saline and returned by IV. This is where most patients start, and it is the treatment described on this page.
EBOO, High-Dose Ozone (90 minutes)
Two IV lines and an external device. Blood flows out through one line, is filtered and ozonated outside the body, and returns through the other. Performed by our IV nurse.
Consultation First
We review your history, current medications and goals, and decide with you whether ozone fits, which form makes sense, and how often it would be given.
Benefits
Works With Your Own Blood
A measured amount of your own blood is treated and returned to you, together with saline, through the IV.
About an Hour
A standard ozone treatment takes about 60 minutes in our IV room.
A High-Dose Option
When a stronger approach is being considered, EBOO treats far more blood in a single 90-minute session.
Hard to Find Locally
Only a handful of practices in the Edmond and Oklahoma City area offer ozone, and fewer still offer high-dose EBOO.
Part of a Whole Plan
Ozone is considered alongside functional medicine testing, IV nutrient therapy and the rest of your care, not as a stand-alone fix.
Screened Before You Start
Ozone is not right for everyone, so your health history is reviewed before a first treatment is ever scheduled.
Is Ozone Therapy Right for You?
Ozone therapy is an integrative treatment. It is not FDA-approved to treat Lyme disease, mold illness, long COVID, chronic fatigue or any other specific condition, and we do not promise a particular result. Some patients report feeling better after a course of treatment; others notice little change. Results vary.
Ozone is also not appropriate for everyone. Some conditions, such as G6PD deficiency and pregnancy, rule it out, and certain medications and health histories call for caution. That is why every patient starts with a consultation, where your provider reviews your history and decides whether ozone is appropriate for you and, if so, which form.
Ozone, UV Light and IV Nutrients
Ozone is one part of our IV program. We also offer IV UV light therapy, and Ozone/UV Light Therapy appears together on our IV cocktail menu. Many patients who ask about ozone are also interested in IV nutrient therapy, and your provider can explain how the options fit together at the same visit.
Common Questions About Ozone Therapy
How is ozone therapy given at Encompass?
We draw a measured amount of your blood, mix medical-grade ozone gas into it, combine it with saline and return it to you through the IV. The visit takes about 60 minutes. The ozone is never inhaled.
What is the difference between ozone therapy and EBOO?
Standard ozone treats a single measured draw of blood. EBOO, the high-dose form, uses two IV lines and an external device: blood flows out through one line, is filtered and ozonated, and returns through the other throughout a 90-minute session, so far more blood is treated. EBOO is performed by our IV nurse.
Is ozone therapy FDA-approved?
No. Ozone therapy and EBOO are not FDA-approved to treat any specific disease, including Lyme disease, mold illness, long COVID or chronic fatigue. They are offered as integrative therapies, results vary, and a consultation determines whether either one is appropriate for you.
Why do people ask about ozone?
Fatigue is the classic reason. We also hear from people dealing with mold exposure, Lyme disease, long COVID or chronic fatigue, and from athletes interested in recovery. Those are the reasons patients give for asking; they are not conditions ozone is approved to treat, and we will be straightforward about what to expect.
How many treatments will I need?
There is no fixed number. It depends on why you are coming in and how you respond. Your provider will recommend a starting plan at your consultation and adjust it as you go.
Is ozone therapy safe?
Ozone is given by trained staff using medical-grade ozone, and the gas is never inhaled. The most common minor effects are bruising or soreness where the IV was placed. Some conditions rule ozone out, so your provider reviews your health history and medications before your first treatment and will go over the risks with you.
