Anti-Viral Properties Localised viral Infections of the skin, such as moluscum, shingles, warts and fever blisters respond very well to topical ozone. - For application to warts, it is preferable to apply with an earbud and cover affected area with a durable material plaster. - For painful fever blisters apply sparingly, with an earbud, to individual blisters. Anti-Bacterial Properties Outstanding results have been achieved with acne-prone skin types by applying Ozone Balm to individual pimples, with an earbud, as an overnight treatment to reduce redness and swelling. Anti-Fungal Properties Topical ozone is highly recommended for stubborn conditions such as infections of the nailbed, lifting nails and athlete's foot. - For lifting nails, apply to clean, dry nails and secure with a durable material plaster overnight. - For athlete's foot, apply to the affected area and cover with cotton socks. Generally, 3 applications per week are required over a 2-3 week period, when treating fungal infections.

Caution: Ozone may be irritating to the mucous membrane. Avoid contact with nostrils, lips and eyes.
