In the Mumbai trial, they established safety and efficacy on 10 patients, and following this they treated more than 400 patients, including those with problems such as diabetes and obesity.

Key Findings Of The Trial

Dr Jignasha Captain, Director Development, Ozone Forum of India, says, “Ozone therapy has been successful in giving results in many different diseases as a complementary treatment and we are happy that ozone has been effective in treating COVID-19. Ozone therapy when administered systematically shows beneficial effects on modulating the activity of inflammation. Along with oxygenation, it is also helpful in the induction of endogenous production of interferons, signalling molecules that help boost immunity and fight various types of viruses.”

“In this crisis time of fighting the pandemic, we need to integrate the wisdom of conventional medicine with natural healing modalities. We knew that ozone therapy was working well on COVID-19 patients and it is also very cost-effective,” said Dr Mili Shah, President, Ozone Forum of India.

According to the experts, over 2400 doctors across the country are trained on this topic and over 750 doctors administer this cure as an adjuvant along with other medicines across various lines of treatment.
