- Written by : Rebecca LaMarca, MSN, APN-BC, CNS
Key Takeaways
- Ozone therapy is not FDA-approved to treat HSV, but some research suggests it may support immune function and reduce outbreak frequency when used alongside antiviral medication.
- 10-pass ozone therapy is the most intensive form — treating about 2 liters of blood in a single session under hyperbaric pressure.
- Most HSV patients start with 5–10 sessions, typically once or twice weekly until outbreaks are controlled, then transition to monthly maintenance.
- Pre-screening for G6PD deficiency and bleeding disorders is required before 10-pass treatment.
- IV Elements offers in-home and in-lounge 10-pass ozone therapy for HSV across NJ, NYC, Philadelphia, and Bucks County, PA.
Important: Ozone therapy has not been approved by the FDA to treat HSV or any other health condition. Always talk to your licensed healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
What is HSV?
HSV, or herpes simplex virus, is a virus that most commonly infects the mouth and genitals. It causes outbreaks of fluid-filled blisters around the infected area. There are two main types: HSV-1, which most often causes oral herpes, and HSV-2, which most often causes genital herpes, though both types can infect both areas. HSV-2 tends to cause more severe and frequent outbreaks. The virus isn’t uncommon. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 3.8 billion people under age 50 have HSV-1, while about 520 million have HSV-2.Can ozone therapy treat herpes?
Quick answer: Ozone therapy is not proven to cure herpes and is not FDA-approved for HSV treatment. However, some research suggests it may help reduce outbreak frequency and support immune function when used alongside antiviral medications like acyclovir or valacyclovir.

Lots of clinics recommend 10-pass ozone therapy for HSV because it’s more intensive than other types of ozone therapy. It involves hyperbaric pressure and up to ten ozonations and reinfusions in one session, so it ozonates a greater amount of blood (about 2 liters) than other methods. Many practitioners think this could make the 10-pass method more likely to support immune responses and HSV outbreak prevention, though more research is needed. The clinical team at IV Elements can help you figure out if the 10-pass method is right for you or if you should consider a different type of ozone therapy.How many ozone sessions should I get for herpes outbreaks?
Ozone therapy has not been approved by the FDA to treat herpes outbreaks, so there aren’t any clinical standards for the number of ozone sessions you should get. Our clinician-led team can help you figure out how many sessions to get based on your specific needs and response to treatment. Many HSV patients start with a schedule of one to two sessions per week until outbreaks are controlled, then transition to a monthly maintenance schedule. Most see a total of 5–10 initial sessions before shifting into maintenance.Is 10-pass ozone therapy for herpes safe?

What’s the protocol for HSV with 10-pass?
The protocol for HSV with 10-pass ozone therapy varies from clinic to clinic. At IV Elements, we start with a pre-screening that includes testing for contraindications, such as a G6PD deficiency or active bleeding disorder.
