Ozonum: A remedy for our times
As professional homeopaths, we are constantly looking for remedies that speak to the suffering of our time. One remedy that has been quietly but powerfully emerging in the last decade is Ozonum (also known as Oxygenium ozonatum).

The Energetic Signature of Ozone
Derived from ozone, the triatomic form of oxygen—Ozonum speaks directly to modern states of collapse, environmental toxicity, and the deep existential crises we see increasingly in our practices.
But beyond the poetic language of the materia medica, what does the evidence tell us about this relatively modern remedy?
Ozone is a potent oxidizing agent, associated with sterilization, purification, and transformation. In its homeopathic form, Ozonum embodies these themes as dynamic patterns of:
• Asphyxiation and suffocation
• A craving for purity—spiritual, emotional, environmental
• Collapse and exhaustion, often post-toxicity
• Aversion to society, overstimulation, or polluted environments
• Desire to escape, to float, to elevate
These themes echo powerfully in many post-viral states, cases of long-term environmental illness, post-COVID burnout, or individuals suffering from deep, systemic toxicity—whether physical or psychic
Research Supporting the Use of Ozonum
While robust research on homeopathic Ozonum is still sparse, several studies offer valuable insights that can inform clinical reasoning:
1. Pathogenetic Trial of Ozone 30C
A multi-national, double-blind, placebo-controlled HPT involved 53 participants and showed that Ozone 30C produced clear, reproducible symptoms not seen in the placebo group. These included themes of suffocation, fear of collapse, and a need for escape—strongly confirming the remedy’s clinical picture.
Clinical takeaway: The symptom profile emerging in this trial aligns with the keynotes we observe in Ozonum cases—offering valuable confirmation for its use in practice.
2. Ultra-High Dilutions & Oxygen Saturation (Case Series)
A 2022 case series explored ultra-diluted homeopathic medicines (including Ozonum) administered to palliative patients. Observed outcomes included measurable increases in oxygen saturation levels post-remedy. Though not a controlled trial, it offers suggestive evidence that energetic medicines may have observable physiological effects.
Clinical application: Consider Ozonum in cases with oxygenation issues, cyanosis, or post-COVID dyspnea—especially when the mental/emotional picture aligns.
3. Medical Ozone Therapy as Context
Though not homeopathic, research into ozone therapy (e.g. ozone autohemotherapy) shows promising results in improving systemic oxygenation, inflammation, and tissue repair:
- Sudden hearing loss: Significant hearing improvement with ozone compared to placebo
- Wound healing: Accelerated healing in chronic wounds with topical ozone therapy
- COVID-19: Improved oxygenation and inflammatory markers with ozone treatment
While not evidence for homeopathy per se, these findings echo the organotropic affinities of Ozonum—particularly in respiratory, circulatory, and degenerative pathology.
Clinical Portrait of the Ozonum Patient
In practice, the Ozonum patient may present with:
- Respiratory collapse, air hunger, or asthmatic tendencies
- Heightened environmental sensitivity (chemicals, smells, EMF, crowds)
- A strong need for space, solitude, and fresh air
- Mental exhaustion from modernity—tech overload, constant demands
- Themes of contamination, both internal and external
- A desire to “purify” or transcend the body
These cases often come post-exposure: a toxic relationship, long-term medication, chronic infection, environmental trauma, or even societal disillusionment.
Closing Thoughts
Ozonum is a remedy for the 21st century. It holds space for the modern existential dilemma—how to remain vital and clear in a polluted, overstimulated world. While more research is needed, both clinical experience and emerging evidence support its potential as a transformative remedy in our toolkit.
As ever, the key is individualisation—but when you hear the themes of breathlessness, collapse, craving for lightness, or a need to escape a poisoned world… consider reaching for Ozonum.
