How Ear Ozone Insufflation Works
Ear insufflation is a gentle ozone therapy where low-concentration medical-grade ozone is introduced into the ear canal through a soft, open-flow device. It is not pressurized and does not enter the lungs. Instead, it works by interacting with the moisture and natural oils inside the ear canal, creating oxygen-rich signals the body can use for healing.
When ozone contacts these tissues, it quickly breaks down into oxygen and mild reactive oxygen molecules. These molecules help the body stimulate antioxidant pathways, support immune responses, and create an environment less hospitable to bacteria, viruses, mold, and yeast. This is why ear insufflation is often used to support sinus health, ear congestion, lingering viral symptoms, and mold recovery.
Because the ears connect directly with the lymphatic and sinus systems, ozone helps move stagnant lymph, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation in the surrounding tissues. Many people experience relief from sinus pressure, clearer thinking, reduced ear fullness, and a greater sense of openness in the head and neck.
Ear insufflation does not ozonate the bloodstream the way IV ozone does, but it offers valuable local and regional support. Done correctly, it is a gentle way to assist the upper respiratory system, sinuses, and lymphatic pathways in clearing what the body no longer needs.
