Introduction. The term 'ozone therapy' is increasingly used and apparently known in the medical-scientific field. However, it is not infrequent to come across a superficial knowledge of this method with its numerous therapeutic applications characterised by multiple modes of administration. Therefore, irrespective of the clinical aspects, I consider a contribution of clarity to highlight the peculiarities of the different modes of administration to be appropriate. Argumentation. With regard to ozone therapy at systemic level, the standardisation of the methods adopted and the safety of the treatments, also in relation to the absence of potential toxic chemical species, are indispensable features. Adequate knowledge of them must be the starting point for any health professional who considers it in his or her interest to also employ this practice as an armoury for the health of his or her patients. In fact, unlike normal drug prescriptions, systemic ozone therapy usually also engages the physician in terms of preparation and administration of the therapeutic treatment. Conclusion. The purpose of this note lies in stimulating in the reader an attitude of knowledge for a careful evaluation of all the parameters that come into play even before adopting the enormous clinical potential of the correct use of oxygen-ozone gaseous mixtures.Downloads
