Ozone Oils for the Mouth
Ozone Oils and ozonated water have been used for decades by holistic and biological dentists all over the world because of their ability to promote good oral health.
The holistic dentist often uses ozonated water immediately after it is generated to reduce the chance of infection and help the mouth heal properly. The immediate use of ozonated water is critical because the ozone will break down within about 30 - 40 minutes after it is produced.
It's a known fact that ozone is a reactive molecule that breaks down quickly making it difficult to use. Because of this, we receive questions all the time about how we can say that many of our products have a shelf life of over two years.
The nice thing about oils is that they contain many double bonds. Sunflower seed oil in particular is chocked full of these double bonds. When ozone comes into contact with an oil that has double bonds, the ozone gas is transformed into an ozonide which gets "stuck" in the oil. These ozonides can last for years in an oil making it a safe and effective medium for ozone.
When the ozone-infused oil is applied to your skin or tissue, the ozonide is transferred from the oil into your body where it can then be used in a number of ways.
