Ozone Therapy: A Breath of Hope for Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Dr. Gexplores ozone therapy as an adjunctive treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, explaining what ozone is, how it’s applied (bagging, ozonated water and oils, systemic methods), and the mechanisms that may aid healing—antimicrobial action, improved oxygenation, biofilm disruption, growth factor stimulation, and better microcirculation.

The episode reviews clinical evidence, safety concerns (notably inhalation risk and regulatory status), global use, and future directions, and emphasizes combining ozone with gold-standard care like debridement, offloading, vascular optimization, and glucose control.
