Short answer
If you searched “EBOO detox,” here is the straight answer: we do not offer EBOO as a detox. Your liver, kidneys, lungs and gut handle your body’s cleanup every single day.
EBOO is a wellness session. Your blood loops through a special diffuser, meets ozone, passes under light, and flows back to you. Many people choose it as part of a wellness and longevity routine. At Charleston Pain Relief Center in North Charleston, SC, we will walk you through every step.
Please know: EBOO is a wellness service. Ozone therapy is not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Everyone responds differently.
EBOO stands for extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation. “Extracorporeal” just means outside the body. During a session, your blood flows out through one IV line, passes through a special diffuser where it meets ozone, and then flows back in through a second line. At our clinic, it also passes under full-spectrum light on the way back.
A research team in Siena, Italy, first used the name EBOO in a 2000 report. You may also see it called EBO2. It is the same idea with a newer spelling (here is how EBOO and EBO2 compare). You relax in a recliner while our team runs the session.
Search “EBOO detox” and you will find big promises. Some clinics say EBOO pulls out toxins, metals or germs. Those claims go well beyond what research shows today, so we do not make them.
We would rather tell you what EBOO is, what it is like, and what is still unknown. Then you can decide for yourself.
You may have seen photos of a diffuser that looks dark or cloudy after a session. Some clinics say it shows what was removed from the body. A diffuser changing color does not tell you what is in it or what it means for your health. We do not use diffuser photos to make health claims.
Your body already has a strong, full-time cleanup system:
Want to support that system? The basics work hard for you: drink water, sleep well, eat fiber and plants, move your body, and limit alcohol. If you are worried about a chemical or metal exposure, ask your doctor about testing.
Researchers are exploring how ozone interacts with blood. Most of the work so far is small studies and reports from practitioners. We know of no large, high-quality studies that show EBOO works as a detox. We say that plainly because you deserve to know.
Many people choose EBOO as part of a wellness and longevity routine. Some tell us they feel more energy or clearer afterward. Others love the calm, cared-for feeling of a full recovery day. Everyone responds differently.

We do not offer EBOO as a detox. Your liver, kidneys, lungs and gut do that work every day. EBOO is a wellness session that many people add to their wellness and longevity routine.
We do not make that claim, and research has not shown it. If you are worried about a metal exposure, ask your doctor about testing.
The diffuser is where your blood meets ozone during the session. A diffuser that looks darker afterward does not tell you what is in it or what it means for your health.
