Doctors began to treat infection using oxygen over a century ago; the first recorded use of oxygen therapy was in 1879 by a French physician, Dr. J. A. Fontaine. The treatment is popular today in Russia and Germany, but does not have official approval in the US, and is almost unknown in the UK and Australia.

Oxygen/ozone therapy covers a wide range of practices, all of which involve administering oxygen as a gas or in water to help body cells and tissues function efficiently. Ozone therapy is said to oxygenate cells and trigger chemical reactions that destroy viruses and bacteria.

Treatment is carried out by medically qualified therapists, and is given through an artery or intravenously, by mouth, via the rectum or vagina, by inhalation or absorption, or by injection into the joints or muscles. Treatment could comprise 2-3 sessions for a minor infection or 30-40 sessions for more serious conditions.

Oxygen therapy is claimed to kill cancer cells; it has also been used to treat strokes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and allergies. Ozone therapy has been used to heal wounds and treat bacterial and viral diseases (it is a controversial AIDS treatment).
