Minor Autohemotherapy: Local Power for Your Immune System
It is an ozone therapy method that activates the body's self-healing mechanism, creating an autovaccine (personalized vaccine) effect.
Minor Autohemotherapy, one of the important application methods of ozone therapy, unlike Major Autohemotherapy, aims to directly stimulate and regulate the immune system instead of a widespread effect throughout the body. This method, which uses a smaller amount of blood, is preferred as a supportive option, especially in allergic and dermatological disorders.
Step-by-Step Minor Autohemotherapy Process
This application is a shorter and simpler procedure than Major Autohemotherapy:
- Blood collection: A very small amount of blood, usually between 2-10 ml, is taken from the patient's arm.
- Ozonation: The collected blood is mixed with a certain dose of medical ozone-oxygen gas in a syringe.
- Intramuscular injection: The ozone-activated blood is not applied intravenously, but by injection into a large muscle tissue such as the gluteus or shoulder.
Mechanism of Action in the Body: Autovaccine Effect
The ozonated blood injected into the muscle initiates a controlled response in the immune system, and the body perceives this as a mild "alert":
- Stimulates and balances the immune system: As the immune system responds to this small stimulus, it begins to strengthen its general defense capacity.
- Anti-allergic effect: It can alleviate allergy symptoms by helping to balance immune cells that play a role in allergic reactions.
- Supports skin health: In immune-related skin problems such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema, it provides support for the underlying immune imbalance.
Who is Minor Autohemotherapy Suitable For?
This method can be used as a supportive measure in cases where the immune system is working out of balance:
- Allergic diseases: Allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, urticaria (hives).
- Dermatological problems: Acne, eczema, psoriasis, various dermatitides.
- Recurrent infections: Situations such as frequent flu, recurrence of herpes attacks.
- General immune deficiency: For individuals who are constantly tired, weak, and get sick easily, as a supportive measure.
Treatment Courses and Professional Application
Minor Autohemotherapy is generally not limited to a single session; it is planned in courses of 8-10 sessions, once or twice a week. As with other ozone therapy methods, this application must be performed under the supervision of a physician and in a clinical setting.
