The Power of EBOO Therapy: Optimizing Cardiovascular Health Naturally
Health, Heart Health, Regenerative MedicineExtracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO) therapy is an innovative treatment designed to enhance oxygen utilization, support immune function, and eliminate harmful pathogens like viruses, bacteria and fungi. A single session can purify several litres of blood to improve overall well-being. (1)
Simply put? Your blood is taken out, mixed with oxygen and ozone, then put back into your body. It is a similar process to our ozone and oxidative therapy, but in a larger amount.
How is it different than Ozone Therapy?
Both EBOO and traditional ozone therapy utilize medical-grade ozone to improve health, the key difference lies in the process and the amount of blood treated. Ozone helps oxygenate blood by breaking down into oxygen molecules, which enhances cellular function and detoxification.Traditional ozone therapy typically involves withdrawing a small amount of blood, mixing it with ozone, and reinfusing it back into the body.
EBOO uses a dialysis-style filtration system that allows for the continuous circulation of blood through an ozonation process. This allows for deeper detoxification and enhanced therapeutic effects.
How Can EBOO Improve Cardiovascular Health?
EBOO is a powerful ozone therapy designed to improve oxygen utilization, support immune function, and detoxify the blood. This helps to combat inflammation, oxidative stress, and heavy metal toxicity. Whether you are looking to enhance circulation, reduce cardiovascular risks, or simply optimize your health, EBOO offers a unique and effective approach.Reducing Inflammation ↴
It’s important to remember that inflammation is actually important for our body – in small quantities. In these cases, we are typically referring to “acute inflammation”. It’s the kind that makes us heal from injury or illness. (2)
Chronic inflammation can be dangerous for our body, and most of us are dealing with some level of inflammation due to our environment (think air pollution, diet, sedentary lifestyle, medications). And this is the type of inflammation that plays a role in the development of CVD as it can damage blood vessels and make it easier for dangerous blockages to form. (3)
There are a few ways this can happen:
• Inflammation damages the blood vessels
• Cholesterol builds up like plaque in arteries of damaged blood vessel lining
• Immune cells attack this plaque and blood clots can form if the plaque ruptures
• High blood pressure can be a result of chronic inflammation
With EBOO, the ozone acts as a way to calm down the inflammatory proteins in your body. This reduces our overall levels of inflammation that can be damaging to our cardiovascular system.
Improves Oxidative Stress ↴
Oxidative stress happens when there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body, which can lead to cell and tissue damage.Let’s clear up a few terms first. A free radical is an unstable molecule that the body naturally makes, but can also be created by poor lifestyle habits and an unhealthy environment. In contrast, an antioxidant helps stabilize these free radicals to ensure they don’t cause damage. You’ve likely heard about antioxidants in foods like berries, and leafy greens, but they're easy to find in almost all whole foods.
So how does oxidative stress create cardiovascular issues? It’s a similar process to chronic inflammation – damaged blood vessels, atherosclerosis and blood clots. Additionally, oxidative stress drives inflammation, and free radical damage can weaken the heart and increase the risk of heart failure. (4)
EBOO helps to reduce oxidative stress by balancing free radicals and antioxidants, increasing oxygen availability, reducing inflammatory markers, detoxifying the blood and reducing damage to the inner layer of our blood vessels.
Enhances Circulation ↴
Good circulation is essential to heart health (and your overall health!). This is because your blood carries oxygen and essential nutrients to organs, muscles and tissues. Your heart (along with your brain and muscles) is particularly dependent on good circulation!Poor circulation can also lead to dangerous blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, increased inflammation and atherosclerosis.
EBOO improves circulation by increasing oxygen levels in the blood, reducing inflammation, thinning the blood to prevent clots, and enhancing red blood cell function for better oxygen delivery. It also boosts nitric oxide production, promoting healthier, more flexible blood vessels that support better blood flow and lower cardiovascular risks.
Heavy Metal Detoxification ↴
Heavy metals can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease as they can damage blood vessels. This leads to increased oxidative stress and chronic inflammation – scroll back up for a refresher on that!In addition, heavy metals like mercury and lead can interfere with the heart’s electrical signals creating arrhythmias while cadmium has been linked to heart failure and high blood pressure. (5) (6) Heavy metals can also create a cascade effect by blocking absorption of minerals that are essential for our body to function. In some cases, this forces our heart to work harder, which increases our cardiovascular risk.
Understanding the impact of inflammation on heart health is key, but taking action is even more important. If you're looking for a personalized approach, our team can help guide you through potential solutions like EBOO and other supportive therapies. There are a number of cardiovascular conditions that can be supported by EBOO, including:
• Stroke
• Heart Attack
• Atherosclerosis
• Arrhythmias
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
Additional Strategies to Support your Heart Health
Along with EBOO treatment there are a variety of things you can start doing today to improve your heart health like:• Move your body.
• Increase your intake of antioxidant-rich foods.
• Reduce your consumption of ultra-processed and fast food.
• Drink more filtered water.
• Avoid smoking.
• Practice stress-reducing techniques.
EBOO therapy is an advanced treatment that helps purify the blood, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and detoxify harmful substances, which are all essential for heart health. By addressing key risk factors like oxidative stress and heavy metal toxicity, EBOO supports cardiovascular function and overall well-being. Combined with healthy lifestyle habits, it offers a powerful approach to reducing heart disease risk.
