Over 100 years ago, ozonated olive oil was approved by the surgeon general to be used for healing purposes. Nikola Tesla was among the first one to sell the oil in pharmacies under the name Glycozone. After the creation of the FDA many natural therapies were suppressed and replaced with pharmaceutical counterparts. Fast forward to the present, and we now see natural therapies, including ozonated olive oil, making a strong resurgence.
Ozonated olive oil dates back to inventor Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s. Within a few years it was being sold as Glycozone, mentioned in medical texts like Charles Marchland's "The Medical Uses of Hydrozone and Glycozone." Since then, a great deal of work has been done to show the potential benefits of ozone oils. Olive in particular possesses properties known to be effective for skin lesions, with the ability to reduce the activity of viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. It may also have some effect on stimulating tissue growth and revitalizing epithelial tissue. Other beneficial results include a decrease in inflammation, increased collagen production, smoother skin, and increased oxygen tension in wounds. Various individuals use ozonated olive oil to relieve sunburns, ringworm, wrinkles, skin infections, insect bites, hemorrhoids, carbuncles, dermatitis, tinea versicolor, cuts, sore muscles, wrinkles, and more. Its use as part of an oral care routine is rapidly growing in popularity as well.
