Cupping Therapy

The treatment performed by applying only cups without bloodletting is called dry cupping or cupping therapy. Cupping therapy, which has a history of three thousand years, is frequently used for conditions known as muscle spasms. A high amount of lactic acid accumulates in muscles that work or contract for a long time, causing fatigue. With cupping therapy, blood circulation in the hardened area is increased, lactic acid is removed, and it is excreted through the urinary tract. Thanks to the bruising caused by vacuuming in cupping therapy, the body directs all its constructive and healing chemicals to that area. All muscle, joint, and nerve structures are refreshed, achieving a healthy constitution.

Ozone Therapy

Oxygen is of vital importance for all living beings that perform aerobic respiration. Oxygen can be used for therapeutic purposes in medicine in two different ways. The first of these, normobaric oxygen, is the oxygen therapy used especially in hospital clinics for acute situations where breathing difficulties are experienced or in individuals with COPD. The second, hyperbaric oxygen, is a treatment method applied in environments under a pressure much higher than the atmosphere and containing one hundred percent oxygen. Thanks to the oxygen rate, which is increased up to one hundred percent under high pressure during ozone therapy, the amount of oxygen dissolved in the plasma increases, thus increasing the oxygen reaching the surrounding tissues. In this way, the treatment of many diseases, especially vascular diseases, becomes possible.

Major Method: With this most commonly used method, 50-200 ml of blood is taken, mixed with a determined dose of ozone, and then returned to the person.

Minor Method: 2-5 ml of blood taken from the person is mixed with a determined dose of ozone and injected into the muscle.Ozone Gas Administration into Body Cavities: Ozone is administered rectally, vaginally, and by spraying into the ear canal, etc.Ozone Gas Administration into the Joint: In joint disorders, a specific dose of ozone gas is administered into the joint with a suitable needle.
