The Effect of Ozone Therapy on Psoriasis

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Psoriasis is an immune‐mediated skin disease in which genetic and environmental factors have a significant role. Olive oil with antioxidant properties is an effective adjunct treatment for skin diseases. Furthermore, ozone by introducing O 2 into the bloodstream controls the response of cell‐mediated immunity and leads to improve disease. So, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ozone therapy in the treatment of Psoriasis. Topical therapy of lesions of a man suffering from psoriasis was carried out using ozonate olive oil two times a day and ozone sauna once a week during a month. Patient showed considerable improvement after about twenty days. As the itching and silvery‐white scaling decreased, the lesions began to resolve after three weeks. Furthermore, no recurrence was noted after 3 months of follow‐up. It is suggested that ozone therapy, in appropriate formulations and in controlled cases, has a role in the treatment of patients with psoriasis by inhibiting the inflammatory pathways and prompting regenerative characteristics, without significant adverse effects and the necessity for systemic pharmacological agents. So, more studies on a greater population are needed to confirm this finding.
