EBO2 (EBOO) therapy, explained: how it works, what the research shows, and what clinics charge.

EBO2, also called EBOO, is a form of ozone therapy offered by some US wellness clinics. During a session, blood flows from a line in the arm through a filter, where it meets oxygen and ozone, and back through a second line.

We gather the published studies, what regulators have said, and what clinics state on their own pages, with a link to every source, so you can read it all in one place.

What 174 clinics say on their own pages

We read the EBO2 pages of 174 of the 177 listed clinics and recorded what each states, with the exact words and the page's address; clinics whose pages we could not read are left out of these counts. The latest reading was on October 4, 2026. These are counts of statements, not findings about any clinic.

What happens in a session

A clinic places two IV lines. A machine moves blood through a filter, where it meets a mix of oxygen and ozone across a membrane, and returns it. Clinics most often say a session takes 60 to 90 minutes.

What to expect, step by step, and how many sessions clinics recommend.

  1. Blood is drawn from a vein in the arm.
  2. An anticoagulant and a pump keep it flowing without clotting.
  3. A filter exposes the blood to an oxygen and ozone mix across a membrane.
  4. Blood returns to the arm through a second line.
