Complementary therapy

“Ozone therapy is an adjunctive therapy and should be performed along with and not instead of the allopathic medicine. Understanding the difference between complementary and alternative is critical for the practitioner of ozone therapy. The application of ozone therapy complements other allopathic treatments such pharmaceutical interventions and surgical procedures and does not replace them as an alternative. ”

“Ozone therapy has to be practiced as a complementary, adjunctive or palliative treatment for various diseases. Ozone therapy is part of the techniques of new technologies that complement and facilitate conventional treatments. It is another tool in the medical arsenal of the physician.” Madrid Declaration on Ozone Therapy, ISCO3, 3a. ed., 2020, point 1., p. fifteen
