OZONE INSUFFLATIONS
Charlotte, NC | Fort Mill, SC

What is Rectal Ozone Therapy?

As the name suggests, “Rectal Insufflation” refers to introducing ozone into the body through the rectum. If you are new to ozone, this sounds like a very strange thing to do. However, oxygen (O2) has been infused rectally during surgery for years, because oxygen is easily absorbed through the walls of the colon. The same is true for ozone (O3). Rectal Ozone Insufflation is performed regularly in clinics worldwide, and can also be performed in the home.

During rectal insufflations, a mix of ozone/oxygen is introduced through a catheter into the colon. It’s a type of an oxygen gas enema. The ozone helps remove inflammation, and kills pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites and yeast. It can help restore healthy gut flora. Some of the ozone is absorbed by the colon walls and the resulting oxidative by-products like ROS (reactive oxygen species) and LOP (lipid oxidation products) can travel through the portal vein to the liver. Some sources claim that RI are a valid substitute for ozone blood treatments.

Advantages to using Rectal Ozone Insufflation
There are many advantages to using Rectal Ozone Insufflation over all other ozone administration methods:
  1. Ozone experts around the world believe that Rectal Ozone Insufflation is "95% as effective as Major Autohemotherapy", which is the most accepted ‘blood’ method of introducing ozone into the body. (*Renate Viebahn (Germany), Dr. Robert Rowen (USA), Dr. Frank Shallenberger MD (USA), Silvia Menendez (Cuba).
  2. Rectal insufflation is painless and a minimally invasive way to use ozone that is just as effective as the blood methods but requires no needles, no syringes, no discomfort.
  3. Rectal Insufflation requires only 5 to 10 minutes of your time whereas the Major Autohemotherapy (the blood method) requires up to 40 minutes to complete.

How Ozone Therapy can help with Sinusitis, Allergies, Common Cold

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which may or may not be as a result of infection, from bacterial, fungal, viral, allergic, or autoimmune issues. Newer classifications of sinusitis refer to it as rhino-sinusitis, taking into account the thought that inflammation of the sinuses cannot occur without some inflammation of the nose as well (rhinitis).

There are several paired paranasal sinuses, including the frontal, ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. The ethmoid sinuses can also be further broken down into anterior and posterior, the division of which is defined as the basal lamella of the middle turbinate.

In addition to the acuity of disease, discussed below, sinusitis can be classified by the sinus cavity which it affects
  • Maxillary sinusitis: can cause pain or pressure in the maxillary (cheek) area (e.g. toothache, headache)
  • Frontal sinusitis: can cause pain or pressure in the frontal sinus cavity (located behind/above eyes), headache
  • Ethmoid sinusitis: can cause pain or pressure pain between and/or behind eyes, headache
  • Sphenoid sinusitis: can cause pain or pressure behind the eyes, but often refers to the vertex of the head
Can Ozone help fight sinusitis and most allergies?

Ozone Therapy can neutralize toxins and impurities in the body, rid the body of carbon monoxide, and combat allergy causing substances.

Ozone therapy can also kill viruses & bacteria in the body, relieve fever, increase white blood cell count, boost the immune system, and fight bronchitis and asthma.

What is Limb Bagging?

Limb-bagging introduces topical ozone gas directly to an affected area of the skin. A limb, such as an arm or leg, is covered with a plastic bag which is filled with ozone gas through a small opening in the bag.

How does limb bagging work?
Many use a clear PVC bag (or any plastic bag) and evacuate the air. Secure it at the top and bottom. Insert the ozone gas on one end and have another tube for evacuation of the gas through a charcoal destruct so ozone does not escape. Different levels of gas (gamma) are recommended for either disinfection or to promote healing tissue reconstruction.
What conditions benefit from Limb Bagging Ozone?

This application is helpful in the treatment of many types of topical infections including:

Ozone’s anti-microbial effects have been found to be quite effective for treating infections of the skin and nails in clinical research. Fungal infections of the nails have responded better to ozone treatment than standard medical treatment, as well the skin ulcers showing a significant improvement.

How frequent are the treatments?
Usually, 1-5 times per week, 1-2 times per day depending on how severe the problem is until the problem abates.
Is Limb bagging Therapy painful?
No. There is no pain or pressure buildup with Ozone.  If you experience any discomfort the doctor will lower your dose. Children tolerate it well.
How long does it take to perform?
The procedure is usually 20-30 minutes and is repeated daily.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • Angela Soto is a phenomenal acupuncturist! She leads with her magnificent heart as a healer, customizes treatment plans to fit the needs of her clients and exudes joy in her passion for healing with love and empathy. She is literally one of the best acupuncturists that I have met in my life. (And I have traveled as far as NYC for some great care.). I have a chronic health condition that was diagnosed in 2019 called ulcerative colitis. I have explored the extent of over 7 different medicines of the Western standards for biologics and steroids. None of them were able to control my symptoms. I was hospitalized over 9 times to address the nature of my disease. One day as I was particularly frustrated and malnourished, I had a dental appointment as the drugs that I had taken depleted my calcium levels. My holistic minded dentist told me about an article he had read about rectal ozone therapy and how it restored the health of the colon. Intrigued, I kept digging. I was at my last rope with living with this illness and nutrition was not helping me. I had a local acupuncturist that I went to for my anxiety in the town I live in and he told me that acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine can possibly cure the UC. That sealed it for me. I went on the hunt for acupuncturists that also used rectal ozone. Angela Soto was the only brave healer that used all three modalities, acupuncture, herbal medicine and ozone. I was so sick at the time with another UC flair that I called the office and had to delay making an appointment for several months. I had come unglued and miserable from isolation and hopelessness. I never gave up faith that the cure was inside of me and that someone could help. Then my true Southern GRIT came into play. I made the decision to walk away from pharmaceuticals with dangerous side effects and commit to finally heal. I never forgot how Angela Soto's office assistant; Hannah made me feel hopeful over the phone so many weeks earlier. She had the most comforting voice and made me feel less anxious. It has been 5 months now and I have been committed to my healing. I am overjoyed by the results and am finally able to eat better without pain or UC flairs. I am and always will be grateful for the continued support. Tuesdays are my self-care days. I consider this business a hidden gem in SC! I am still receiving care from Angela Soto and will continue to receive treatments. I wish Angela continued success. She has brought a lot of healing to her community! Bless her for her passionate heart!
  • I don't write many reviews, but this is one of the few times that I don't think there is enough space or stars to show my admiration for this practice. Dr. Angela Soto is a truly talented doctor. Many people claim to be acupuncturists or know chinese medicine, but Dr. Soto is the REAL DEAL. I've totally lost faith in traditional medicine, and after trying other practices that specialize in alternative approaches, I found Dr. Soto. She has helped me SO MUCH. Each time I go to this practice, I don't feel judged and they are the most PERSONABLE STAFF. A practice isn't just the doctor; it's the STAFF. This office strikes the right, positive energy that few can emulate. After losing so much trust and faith in the brainwashed medical community after COVID, this is the place to be. THANK YOU DR. SOTO AND STAFF! YOU ARE THE BEST.

    Blew me away!! I heard about Blue Root and Dr. Soto from my wife. I went to check it out as a pretty big skeptic. The main problem that I had was a tingly aching feeling in my hand and forearm, I was sure that I had carpal tunnel. After the consultation, Dr. Soto told me she did not think I had carpal tunnel and she was sure that she could fix me up quickly and make that feeling go away. Within my first week of my treatment, I no longer had that feeling. This was after a few months of taking anti-inflammatory pills and wearing a carpal tunnel brace! My 2nd time in, I went with a cold or a bug (I was sure it was the flu) and I got the treatment, this time on a different part of my body and she prescribed me some herbs which I purchased. I took them as prescribed and I beat the cold in 3-4 days. My wife got the same cold as me and was down for the count for like 2 weeks(I tried to send her in for acupuncture lol). My next project to tackle with Dr. Soto will be the back pain which has been a constant in my adult life. I am pleased to say that my experiences with Dr. Soto and her staff have been extremely pleasant and I would happily refer any of my friends or neighbors to her!

    Dr. Soto is a beautiful healer. When I first found Dr. Soto I was constantly sick, especially with respiratory infections. I have asthma and severe allergies and Dr. Soto literally stopped me from having an asthma attack on her table with the use of acupuncture and ozone therapy. From my severe allergies, I chronically have sore throats but once I received the Lymphomyosot injections my throat was better within 15 mins. I also had terrible neck and back pain but after having gua sha and cupping therapy sessions I noticed immediate changes. I am so grateful for her healing energies.

    Angela Soto is one of the most knowledgeable and caring healers I have ever met. I'm a physician with nearly 20 years of experience, and her treatments have helped me as well or better than nearly anything else I knew to do for my joint pain. I'd highly, highly recommend seeing her!
