11|That's a good question, and the answer isn't straightforward. There are different types of ozone therapies, and the cost depends on how far you want to go. Some you can do at home with almost no investment. Others require a bit more equipment. And some would need you to visit a clinic or have deeper preparation to do them yourself.
12|
13|The reality is that ozone is going to benefit you no matter what, except if you breathe it in directly. That's the one thing you never do.
14|
15|## Starting from zero
16|
17|Even the cheap ozone generators sold for cleaning fruits and vegetables can be a starting point. You can use one of those to make ozonated water every morning. Now, it's not going to have the same concentration or effect as water made with a therapeutic generator, but it will give you benefits. We're talking about a $60 to $70 investment. That's your total cost to get started.
18|
19|If you want to do things a bit more seriously, you need three things: an oxygen source, a therapeutic ozone generator, and a couple of peripherals depending on which therapies you plan to do.
20|
21|## The oxygen source
22|
23|An oxygen tank isn't expensive. Around $60 to $70. It can be medical or industrial oxygen. (There's a separate article on the difference between industrial and medical oxygen, but the short version is that both work for ozone therapy.)
24|
25|Here's something most people don't realize: a tank lasts months. The flow rates used in ozone therapy are very low. We're talking 1/32 of a liter per minute, 1/16, 1/8. Very rarely 1/4, and almost never 1/2 liter per minute. So as long as you remember to close the tank when you're done, it's going to last a long time.
26|
27|## The generator
28|
29|This is where it gets a bit more complicated. Any generator can produce ozone, including the ultra-cheap ones from China. The problem is that with those, you can't know what concentration you're actually getting or how stable the output is.
30|
31|I've had the chance to work with several Chinese models, and in many of them I found that the output concentration doesn't match what's printed on the chart. In some others, the generation isn't constant. The concentration jumps around. You don't get a reliable output.
32|
33|So if that's your only option, fine, go ahead. But I would never use one of those generators for more advanced therapies.
34|
35|My recommendation is to buy from the better-known brands: Promolife or Simply O3. As for which model, my opinion is to just follow your budget. Buying a more expensive generator won't give you better quality ozone. Prices range from around $800 to $2,500 on average.
36|
37|## The peripherals
38|
39|This is where I think a lot of people waste money. The most basic therapies are ozonated water, insufflations (rectal or vaginal), cupping, bagging, and sauna.
40|
41|I've never bought the glass peripherals for ozonating water or for putting traps in the flow or any of that. To me, it's an unnecessary expense. My approach is KISS: keep it simple and stupid.
42|
43|If you want to ozonate water, use a glass pitcher from the Dollar Store. You'll be able to ozonate your water perfectly fine, and you'll save yourself $100, which is what a specialized water ozonation peripheral costs at some of the specialty stores.
44|
45|I've mentioned this before, but the two most systemic therapies you can do at home are sauna and rectal insufflation. And from my point of view, insufflations are the simplest. All you need is a small cannula and a 200cc syringe. That's going to cost you around $30.
46|
47|## So what's the real investment?
48|
49|If you add it up, your initial investment can be somewhere between $1,000 and $1,500. That might sound like a lot, but think about it this way.
50|
51|Let's say you went to a clinic to get rectal insufflation done. I've never been to a clinic for ozone therapy myself, but from what I've heard in the community, the minimum cost per session including the visit would be around $100. And that's without the awkwardness of having someone else introduce a cannula into your rectum.
52|
53|If you were doing insufflations regularly, say a couple of times a week, you'd be spending $200 to $500 per week at a clinic. That means in about three to four weeks, you would have already recovered the cost of your entire home setup.
54|
55|And from my point of view, it's much more comfortable to do it yourself at home than to wait around for someone else to do it for you.
56|
57|## What about the ongoing costs?
58|
59|After the initial investment, your ongoing costs are minimal. Oxygen tanks last months because of the low flow rates. The only thing you need to replace regularly is the cannula, which costs a few dollars.
60|
61|So the real cost of ozone therapy at home isn't the ongoing expense. It's the upfront investment in equipment. And once you have it, you're set for a long time.
62|
63|## Where to start
64|
65|That depends on each person. My advice is to always start slow to see how your body reacts, because everyone is different. But if you're asking me which therapies I think are the most powerful for home use, it's insufflations and sauna.
66|
67|Start with ozonated water. It's the easiest, cheapest, and safest entry point. Once you're comfortable with that, move to insufflations. And if you want to go further, look into sauna.
68|
69|The important thing is that you don't need to spend thousands of dollars at a clinic to get the benefits of ozone therapy. With the right equipment and a bit of knowledge, you can do it yourself at home for a fraction of the cost.
