Many people today, seeing the growing amount of medical and cosmetic therapies using olive oil are asking is ozonated olive oil safe or not. The many benefits of olive oil alone are well known, of course, and it has been used in a plethora of cosmetics, including luxurious soaps and lotions, for many centuries.

In its natural form, olive oil is bright green; when adulterated with other oils, such as palm oil, corn or safflower oil, as it frequently is to make it more affordable, its characteristic color is diluted. When it is treated with ozone, the gas that forms a protective layer around our planet, it is transformed even more, becoming completely clear. But its many benefits are almost too numerous to mention, according to research in the medical field.

Why was ozonated olive oil created?

Ozonated olive oil, using the extremely versatile oil derived from pressed olives, was first created in 1900 by the brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla. By 1904 it appeared in the world's medical literature, with a chemist called Charles Marchland in New York highlighting its use as a treatment for infections. Also called glycozone, it was made by forcing bubbles of ozone gas through olive oil for a period of weeks, within a magnetized matrix. This created a catalytic reaction that burned the oil, making an amber-colored gel from the oil. However, today, bubbling ozone through oil is considered inefficient; typically, ozonized olive oil is created after adding solvents to the oil first, before it the ozone is added, and the entire process can be finished in a matter of three days at the most. The ozone gas is not actually carried within the olive oil but rather is bound up and released in the form of peroxide.

Now that the careless overuse of antibiotics worldwide has resulted in antibiotic resistance and the burgeoning of superpathogens and uncontrollable infections, the use of alternative antibiotics has risen dramatically; ozonated olive oil is now a star in the array of medical products used in this way. This super-charged oil is now recognized worldwide for the antimicrobial properties that are created when olive oil is mixed with ozone gas. Not only is ozonated olive oil safe, it promoted wound healing; the oil also is now used for especially difficult-to-treat conditions, including pressure ulcers (bed sores), and dermatitis. In addition, it is used on patients' skin after they undergo laser therapy and other types of surgeries, and for sunburns.

Acne sufferers are also now using ozonated olive oil in the successful treatment of their condition; not only does the oil have strong antibacterial properties, but it also is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog the pores of the skin. Recent research showed impressive results in the treatment of acne vulgaris, or non-cystic acne, with scientists hailing the oil for its significant healing effects after just one month of topical application. Now seen as an acne treatment with great potential, it proved to reduce lesions by an incredible 65%.

Perhaps most surprisingly, however, ozonated olive oil is now being used in the treatment of internal diseases as well, including intestinal infections, stomach ulcers, and, incredibly, even asthma. Amazingly, it also has antifungal properties and even stimulates healing, especially for scars.

Now, the super-powered olive oil is also being employed to guard against the development of periodontal disease in the gums, which can result in the loss of teeth, and research indicates that it also wards off the formation of cavities. Its use for such a vast number of conditions -- both external and internal to the body -- should give complete assurance to anyone who has wondered "Is ozone-treated olive oil safe?"

Optimal storage conditions for ozonated olive oil

After olive oil is saturated with ozone gas, it forms a gel that must be refrigerated in order to maintain its healing properties, but it will last for as long as a year if kept in these conditions. Not only is ozonated olive oil safe, It will likely remain popular as a salve, since it has a pleasant, natural scent and is absorbed quickly into the skin -- unlike ozonated hemp oil, which also can be treated with ozone gas but is not absorbed into the skin as readily.
