Since the onset of 2020 and up to the present moment, it would be safe to say that the most dominating discourse anywhere on the globe has revolved around the coronavirus and its ailment, COVID-19.

As the virus has repeatedly lashed the world with a deadly fury, particularly its punishing second wave that swept like a tsunami across India, the one prayer in everyone’s heart has been for a cure. Sadly, a cure has not yet been found. We must make do with a spectrum of medicines prescribed by allopathy. In the meantime, there is a case to be made for alternative therapies because of their holistic approach and capacity to heal the root of the problem instead of staying with the symptoms alone.

Ozone on the horizon for COVID

While Ayurveda, homeopathy, Unani, and other well-known systems of medicine have been guiding their advocates, an exciting new contender all set to wage battle with COVID-19 is heaving into view: ozone therapy.

Dr. Mili Shah, vice president of the Ozone Forum of India (OFI), says that a randomized clinical trial conducted by the organization in mid-2020 proved that when it is used in conjunction with standard allopathic treatment in mild to moderate cases, it can lead to more rapid and effective healing. She says, “Of the 10 people who were put through the study, all of them recovered within a span of eight days.” She added that in no case did the ailment escalate into severity.
