Emphysema is caused by loss of elasticity of the lung tissue, from destruction of structures supporting the alveoli, and destruction of capillaries feeding the alveoli. The result is that the small airways collapse during exhalation, leading to an obstructive form of lung disease.
The causes of emphysema vary, but the most common causes are:
- Tobacco smoke
- Marijuana smoke
- Air pollution
- Manufacturing fumes
The symptoms of emphysema include:
- Shortness of breath on exertion (typically when climbing stairs or inclines, and later at rest)
- Limbs may turn blue or purple, especially after being active
- Fingernails or toe nails may turn blue or purple, especially after being active
- Hyperventilation
- An expanded chest
Ozone Therapy can’t cure emphysema, but it can help fight the symptoms. Ozone Sauna Therapy aids in the repair of the lungs, improves blood circulation and increases cellular respiration. Ozone Therapy can also help fight allergies, it can boost the immune system and prevent colds and flu.
