Features of the autohemotherapy procedure, indications, contraindications and all the nuances of manipulation - all this interests people who have learned about such therapy.
In most cases, autohemotherapy is indicated for patients undergoing complex treatment of pathologies associated with immunodeficiencies.
These are chronic infections, ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract, dermatological diseases, as well as ailments that arise due to age-related changes in the body.
The technique first began to be used at the beginning of the twentieth century. Experts noted the same type of clinical results, in particular the stimulation of protective properties, accelerated recovery after operations and injuries, and increased mental and physical performance.
Today the procedure has become widespread in medicine and cosmetology.
The essence of the method
Autohemotherapy is a therapeutic technique that involves injecting the patient with his own blood. In most cases it is performed intramuscularly.
In essence, this is a transfusion that enhances hematopoiesis and increases the body's resistance to all kinds of diseases.
Scientists believe that human blood circulating through vessels is able to “remember” the processes occurring in the body. After the secondary entry into the body, the cells independently identify sources of inflammation and pathogenic microorganisms, destroying them.
Based on existing reviews from doctors, indications and contraindications, we can conclude that autohemotherapy is aimed at:
- increasing the body's immune defense;
- activation of hematopoietic processes and the hemostatic system.
After using the technique, there are usually no chills, joint damage, increased body temperature and other negative manifestations. The use of autohemotherapy is relevant not only for inpatient settings, but also for outpatient settings.
Autohemotherapy for acne
Autohemotherapy effectively treats acne. The essence of the procedure for getting rid of acne is to introduce it into the patient’s body subcutaneously.
(intravenously or intramuscularly) of his own blood from a vein, which has previously undergone special treatment.
Autohemotherapy should be performed in patients with acne that has not been cured by the use of masks and creams. This procedure is a good advantage over the use of antibiotics, as it has no contraindications, except for people with kidney disease or renal failure.
Autohemotherapy is carried out under strictly sterile conditions. Blood is administered to the patient carefully, in small doses, to avoid painful sensations in the muscles. It is initially treated with ozone, exposed to low temperatures and a magnetic field, laser light flux, ultraviolet and x-rays.
Autohemotherapy: indications for use
Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of fresh venous blood has a beneficial effect on the entire body, strengthens protective functions, and suppresses inflammatory processes.
Among the indications for the use of autohemotherapy are the following conditions.
INDICATIONS
- dermatological pathologies: acne, blackheads, furunculosis, eczema, pustules, neoplasms;
- Chronical bronchitis;
- prolonged pneumonia;
- frequently recurring colds;
- gastrointestinal disorders;
- various immunodeficiency conditions;
- infectious, inflammatory lesions of the urinary system;
- poorly healing trophic ulcers;
- joint damage of an infectious nature;
- internal and nosebleeds;
- severe menopause;
- infertility.
In the presence of any pathologies, the technique cannot replace other methods of treatment: taking medications, surgery. Autohemotherapy is indicated for use as part of complex therapy.

The procedure is also used for provocative and diagnostic purposes. Thus, it is relevant when there is a suspicion of hidden infections.
The latest research has proven that autohemotherapy helps alleviate the symptoms of bronchial asthma with an allergic nature.
In the field of cosmetology, the technique is successfully used not only to combat various dermatological ailments, but also to slow down the aging process of the skin.
Autohemotherapy with ozone
One of the types of autohemotherapy is successfully used in modern medicine - autohemotherapy with ozone. It can be small and large.
When carrying out minor autohemotherapy with ozone, the classical technique plus ozonation is used. The patient's fresh venous blood (in a volume of three to ten milliliters) is mixed with an ozone-oxygen mixture in a syringe and injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly.
In urology and gynecology, this technique is used to stimulate the immune system in order to treat viral and chronic indolent diseases that are difficult to treat. Autohemotherapy with small ozone is especially effective in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. It promotes rapid recovery, reduces side effects and does not cause complications. This procedure also helps overcome chronic fatigue syndrome, relieves headaches, overwork and lack of sleep, and increases vitality and performance.
In cosmetology, ozone therapy is used to correct wrinkles, treat skin rashes in the form of acne and pimples, and rejuvenate the skin.
With the help of ozone therapy you can lose weight and get rid of cellulite.
Major autohemotherapy with ozone is a therapeutic method that is widely used in clinical practice, since ozone has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory effects and immunomodulatory effects.
Today there are methods of intravenous and intramuscular, intra-articular and subcutaneous administration of therapeutic doses of ozone. Intravenous administration involves the use of ozone dissolved in saline or in the patient’s blood.
Therapeutic doses of ozone enhance microcirculation and improve trophic processes in organs and tissues, affect the properties of the blood, have an immunomodulatory result and dramatically activate the detoxification system of the body's defense.
Major autohemotherapy with ozone is a very painstaking procedure. The patient's blood is taken from a vein (50-150 milliliters) and placed in a special container with anticoagulants. Then an ozone-oxygen gas mixture is introduced. For three to ten minutes, the contents of the container are mixed thoroughly. Next, the blood is reinjected into the patient’s vein. Doctors calculate the amount of ozone dissolved in the blood strictly individually.
Contraindications (8 prohibitions)
Before using autohemotherapy, it is necessary to become familiar with the indications and contraindications.
It is important to identify and comply with the latter, otherwise serious negative consequences may occur. There are a number of restrictions on the procedure.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- malignant neoplasms;
- active tuberculosis;
- hepatitis and other liver damage;
- pathologies of the cardiovascular system, kidneys;
- severe mental disorders;
- heart attack in the acute stage;
- period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- age under 18 years.
When performing autohemotherapy, it is not recommended to administer large volumes of blood. This threatens the occurrence of side effects: chills, muscle soreness, fever. Such complications are included in the list of contraindications to the use of the technique.
How is autohemotherapy done?
To carry out classical autohemotherapy, it is necessary to take blood from the vein of a sick person, and it is this fresh blood, immediately after its collection, without treating it in any way or subjecting it to any influences, that must be injected intramuscularly into the upper square of the buttock. Blood is injected from a vein into the buttock very slowly to prevent pain. It is better to relax as much as possible during this to reduce the pain threshold.
It is important to note that the procedure must be carried out in a clean and sterile environment and exclusively by a medical professional.
Autohemotherapy with aloe
Injections with aloe can enhance the effect of autohemotherapy, since this plant extract acts on tissues as a establishing agent. This method allows you to stimulate the body's regenerative forces, speed up recovery from ulcers, women's diseases and bronchial asthma. However, injections with aloe are quite painful.
Autohemotherapy with aloe is contraindicated for people with hypertension, renal dysfunction, diseases of the cardiovascular system, pregnant and lactating women. Also, injections with aloe can cause an allergic reaction.
Autohemotherapy for allergies
If you resort to the classic version of the procedure, without the use of aloe and other plant extracts, then there are no contraindications to its implementation, even for allergy sufferers. After all, this method is precisely prescribed for the treatment of various types of allergic reactions and even asthma. However, to be sure that such therapy will not cause harm to health, it is still better to be examined by a doctor before the procedure.
Autohemotherapy for menstruation
Many women are interested in the question of whether it is possible to carry out a course of autohemotherapy while having menstruation. Answering this question, experts recommend carrying out a course of treatment 2 weeks before or immediately after the end of the menstrual cycle. The fact is that carrying out autohemotherapy during menstruation can lead to increased blood loss.
Features of the procedure
At the first session, about 1 ml of blood is injected subcutaneously into the patient. Over time, its volume increases until it reaches 10 ml. After this, the amount gradually decreases.
Injections that are made under the skin can cause the development of inflammatory processes and other negative consequences. It is important to remember this when giving consent to use the technique.
Dermatologist Sanusi Umar
For intramuscular administration, 2 ml of venous blood is used. Injections are placed in the upper outer square of the buttocks.
A repeat session is carried out after 1 or 2 days with an increase in blood to 4 ml, next time - to 6 ml and so on.
Based on indications, autohemotherapy is used according to the following scheme:
Session | Quantity of material introduced |
4 | 8 ml |
5 | 10 ml |
6 | 10 ml |
7 | 8 ml with further reduction in blood volume |
The procedure is always performed in compliance with sterility standards. First, blood is taken from a vein, then injected under the skin or into a muscle.
Blood transfusion from a vein into the buttock for acne
The main advantages that transfusion from a vein into the buttock provides for acne:
- A small number of restrictions on use;
- Availability and simplicity of the method;
- No serious side effects;
- Possibility of stopping the course if your health worsens.
Negative sides:
- The effectiveness of the fight against acne is exclusively in the case of infectious etiology of acne;
- The need to follow a special diet and avoid decorative cosmetics for the duration of treatment.
In cosmetology, autohemotherapy is used against the following imperfections:
- Acne;
- Acne elements;
- Purulent acne;
- Warts and papillomas caused by HPV;
- Premature aging.
Additional bonus:
- Reducing the frequency of relapses of chronic tonsillitis;
- Reducing the manifestations of skin infectious diseases;
- Increased resistance to respiratory diseases;
- Getting rid of herpetic rash on the lips.
Before starting, it is important to undergo an examination to clarify the appropriateness of the autohemotherapy method. Consultation required:
- A therapist to determine the general state of health;
- A gynecologist to rule out the presence of inflammatory processes or hormonal imbalances that provoke acne on the face;
- Endocrinologist to maintain the functionality of the glands;
- Dermatologist as a specialized specialist.
After receiving all the results, it becomes clear how effective the transfusion will be in a particular case of acne. Blood tests are also required to determine the level of red blood cells and hemoglobin. If these indicators are outside the normal range, then the start of treatment is postponed until the parameters normalize.
Sessions are conducted only in a clinical setting under the supervision of a medical specialist. When treating acne, the treatment regimen involves first increasing the amount of blood infused from 2 ml to 10 ml, and then the same consistent decrease.
The average course duration is 20 days. If the patient finds it difficult to tolerate a transfusion, then the intervals between sessions should be at least 3 days. In this case, the duration of treatment may increase to 5 weeks.
To eliminate acne on the face, blood is drawn from the veins located in the arms. A week before starting treatment, you must take a prophylactic course of antibiotics.
Types of autohemotherapy (5 options)
Like any other therapeutic method, autohemotherapy is constantly being improved. In modern medicine, the following procedure techniques are used:
- Hemopuncture. Blood is drawn from a patient's vein and then injected in small doses into painful areas throughout the body. The technique involves the use of biomaterial in its pure form or with the addition of homeopathic medicines.
- Stepped. It is the introduction of blood enriched with drugs. Previously, antibacterial drugs were used for this, but later experts abandoned this method.
- Use of autologous blood. Before administering the patient's blood, various manipulations are performed with it. This can be ozonation, X-ray or ultraviolet treatment, freezing. This procedure can only be performed in specialized institutions where there is suitable equipment. The doctor must have sufficient experience in this field.
- Combination with ozone therapy. Autohemotherapy in this case is carried out in compliance with indications and contraindications according to the traditional scheme. The only difference is that the blood is enriched with ozone. There are minor and major ozone autohemotherapy. The latter option involves taking 150 ml of blood, adding ozone and injecting it back into a vein. Experts say that the procedure is aimed at eliminating signs of chronic fatigue.
- Combination with hirudotherapy. Leeches are placed on problem areas of the patient’s body, then their own blood taken from a vein is injected there.
Options for autohemotherapy
Currently, in addition to classical autohemotherapy, variations of this procedure are used:
- Ozonation of blood.
- Dilution with homeopathic remedies.
- Addition of antibiotics.
Ozonation
The technique is based on the antibacterial, immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory properties of ozone. The idea is to mix the patient's own blood with a certain therapeutic amount of ozone compound. Then there is a reverse blood transfusion to the patient.
Autohemotherapy using ozone is considered effective for gynecological diseases.
Homeopathic dilutions
In this case, a blood transfusion session is carried out by stepwise dilution in different homeopathic preparations. This mixture is then administered to the patient during one procedure.
Use of antibiotics
Autohemotherapy with antibiotics is often indicated in the presence of boils and carbuncles.
It turns out to be an effective method in the treatment of dermatological issues caused by the presence of infection in the blood.
In addition to the methods described above, they also use methods of physical influence on the blood - freezing, treatment with x-rays, laser or ultraviolet. Judging by the reviews, the therapeutic effect with such treatment increases.
Question answer
Due to the peculiarities of the technique, it is not recommended to carry it out at home; it is better to do autohemotherapy in specialized institutions.
To understand that the method really works, you need to donate blood for analysis before and after using autohemotherapy. Typically, a course of treatment increases the number of leukocytes, which indicates an improvement in immune defense and a beneficial effect on the human body.
Negative manifestations are observed quite rarely. If any side effects are detected, honey compresses and iodine mesh must be applied to the injection site. If you experience a deterioration in your health or a significant increase in body temperature, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Autohemotherapy in gynecology
The procedure can only be used in a hospital setting in compliance with sterility standards. It can be carried out by a midwife or a qualified nurse.
The main indications for the use of autohemotherapy in gynecology include the following problems.
- inflammatory pathologies: metritis, salpingitis and others;
- formation of adhesions in the internal genital organs;
- severe menopause;
- infectious lesions of the genital tract: herpes, HPV;
- inflammatory processes with purulent discharge;
- infertility.
The use of the technique for the treatment of gynecological diseases is contraindicated in the presence of inflammatory kidney lesions.
If pure blood is used, 5 ml is drawn from a vein and injected into the gluteal muscle, in accordance with intramuscular injections.
At each subsequent session the amount increases by 1 ml. When the volume reaches 10 ml, there is a gradual decrease daily until the amount returns to 5 ml.
The course of use consists of 10 procedures, which are performed every day or every other day.
Obstetrician-gynecologist Marco Pelosi
In gynecology, hemolyzed blood is also used, that is, autologous blood mixed with sterile double-distilled water and subjected to various manipulations.
After autohemotherapy there are practically no complications observed. An increase in temperature and discomfort at the injection sites are possible, however, they are not contraindications to the use of the method.
To get rid of negative manifestations, the doctor changes the dose of the injected material or the method of influencing it.
Contraindications to autohemotherapy
Autohemotherapy is a procedure during which a certain amount of blood is taken from a person’s vein and then injected into a muscle or under the skin.
However, subcutaneous injection of blood is not a very popular technique, since after it is performed, a hematoma occurs at the injection site, and there is also a possibility of inflammation developing. In this case, the patient experiences pain, the skin swells a little, and the state of health may be impaired. When the injection is administered into the gluteal muscle, applying a warm compress is enough to get rid of the discomfort.
Autohemotherapy has virtually no contraindications. Previously, only children, pregnant women and nursing mothers were advised to abstain from the procedure.
Modern medicine prohibits injecting your own blood in the following cases:
- Acute myocardial infarction.
- Severe arrhythmias.
- Cancerous tumors in the body. A person who has learned about his diagnosis can decide on any treatment method. However, it is worth noting that in terms of getting rid of cancer, autohemotherapy is not effective and can even be harmful.
- Epileptic seizures, neuroses and other mental disorders.
It is not recommended to undergo a blood transfusion for those people who are highly emotionally sensitive, cannot stand the sight of blood, etc.
Before deciding on autohemotherapy, you should definitely consult with your doctor to make sure there are no contraindications.
Autohemotherapy in cosmetology
As mentioned above, this procedure is relevant for dermatological diseases. This includes acne, pimples, eczema.
Do not confuse autohemotherapy and plasma lifting. These procedures are different.
Autohemotherapy helps speed up wound healing and eliminate acne. Experience shows that about 80% of patients who have undergone manipulation experience positive changes.
But the effect of the procedure will quickly disappear if a person forgets about home care.
There is also an opinion that with the help of such a procedure it is possible to rejuvenate the face, but there is no exact data, since research is only underway.
This procedure leads to increased immunity. As a result, the body fights infections better. That is why autohemotherapy will help get rid of the rash if its appearance is associated with pathogenic flora. If the cause is hormonal imbalance or pathology of the reproductive system, then the procedure will be powerless.
Dermatologist Ben Behnam
What is autohemotherapy
In dermatology and beauty salons, autohemotherapy is increasingly being used for treatment. The patient’s own blood is administered to strengthen the immune system, treat skin and other diseases. The procedure is done intravenously, injected into the gluteal muscle or subcutaneously.
In the classical sense, this type of treatment involves taking blood fluid from the patient with a disposable syringe, and without mixing anything else, it is reintroduced back to the person. Treatment is standard according to the classical scheme. The adjustment is made by a doctor in cases where the patient has the necessary indications for this.
Exploratory survey
First, a small commission consisting of several doctors will be appointed. And after passing the examination, if necessary, he can prescribe a course of autohemotherapy. Visit these specialists:
- The endocrinologist will prescribe a blood test to clarify the situation with hormonal levels. Most often, the main cause of acne may be hormonal imbalances. Autohemotherapy will not cope with this problem, so it may be a useless procedure;
- The therapist will recommend undergoing an ultrasound and other studies to identify the presence of peptic ulcers, gastritis, and helminthic infestation. If violations are detected, you will have to undergo a treatment course. The feasibility of the procedure in this case may temporarily disappear.
- The gynecologist will prescribe an examination in a gynecological chair and an ultrasound to detect diseases in the pelvis. If present, the skin may be covered with pimples, acne or blackheads. No cosmetic products can remove such rashes without proper medical therapy.
Administration scheme
Every day for five days, 2 ml of blood is taken from the patient in the manipulation room. According to the scheme, blood fluid is reinjected. In one course, the patient must undergo 10-15 injections, unless the doctor prescribes less or more.
If the puncture site in the gluteal muscle hurts, a hematoma has formed or has hardened, it is recommended to apply a warm heating pad overnight.
Impact principle
The effectiveness of the treatment procedure lies in the automatic “switching on” of the defensive reaction if he feels the impact of hostile objects. The technique purposefully deceives our body when introducing our own blood. The risk of unwanted reactions is minimized here.
Human blood can have any harmful microorganisms, by-products. For this reason, the immune system will still have to deal with them and try to suppress them, which will further strengthen and strengthen health. Thanks to autohemotherapy, the body's protective functions are activated.
People are faced with environmental problems every day, which they know firsthand. This includes microscopic dust flying from production facilities, poorly purified drinking water, and low-quality products in stores.
A bad ecological climate is not the best environment for a person’s normal life, as it has a detrimental effect on health. Of course, you can include more fresh herbs, fruits, and vitamin supplements in your diet. But if this is not enough, then you can use autohemotherapy.
Side effects
Even when indications and contraindications are taken into account, sometimes autohemotherapy can lead to negative consequences, as some patient reviews indicate.
This is usually due to the density, viscosity and other properties of the blood. After attending a session, patients may experience the following side effects:
- formation of compactions at puncture sites, painful sensations on palpation;
- the formation of inflammatory processes due to insufficient sterility of instruments;
- rejection of biomaterial by the immune system.
Efficiency of the procedure
Some time after attending the session, you may notice positive changes. Among them are:
- acceleration of wound healing, rehabilitation after injuries;
- faster recovery after surgery;
- healing and cleansing of the skin;
- elimination of inflammatory processes in the body;
- activation of metabolism;
- improvement of well-being and psychological state;
- increasing endurance, vitality, and ability to work;
- removal of toxic substances and waste.
Indications and contraindications for the procedure
Most often, autohemotherapy is prescribed for juvenile acne, allergies, decreased immunity, chronic pain, infections and hypothermia. This method is also used to treat depression, sleep disorders and loss of appetite. It is often used to reduce the dose of medications taken, as well as for weight loss. A minimum of contraindications and side effects, combined with stable positive results, have made autohemotherapy one of the popular methods of treating many diseases.
The procedure allows intensive healing of wounds and injuries, accelerates recovery from inflammatory diseases and improves mental and physical health.
Autohemotherapy also helps to get rid of diseases such as:
- chronic cytomegalovirus infection;
- chronic inflammatory process in the appendages and uterus;
- genital herpes;
- adhesions in the pelvis;
- menopausal syndrome;
- condylomatosis, papillomatosis;
- infertility.
Moreover, autohemotherapy allows you to get rid of:
- from purulent processes in soft tissues;
- improve metabolism;
- strengthen the immune system;
- improve blood circulation and lymph flow;
- normalize the functioning of the endocrine system;
- remove waste and toxins from the body;
- restore performance, increase vitality.
This technique is an excellent alternative to taking antibiotics if you have problem skin, when treatment with creams, lotions and masks does not help.
However, despite its effectiveness, the following diseases are among the contraindications to autohemotherapy:
- acute myocardial infarction;
- psychoses;
- severe arrhythmias;
- epilepsy;
- oncological diseases;
- pregnancy and lactation period.
Also, as a contraindication to such a transfusion, the introduction of blood in large volumes is unacceptable. This can lead to increased body temperature, chills, muscle pain, and a local inflammatory response in the body.
Price per procedure
After studying the indications and contraindications for autohemotherapy, you can contact specialists from public or private medical institutions and find out the price of the service.
The cost of manipulation will depend on the injection site and the appropriate regimen of use.
So, the traditional method will cost about 800 rubles, the stepwise method is more expensive, 1,500 rubles. The most expensive procedure is the one using ozone. Prices for it can reach up to 2000 rubles.
Reviews
JULIA, 53 YEARS OLD:
“For several years I suffered from severe symptoms of menopause.
My blood pressure was skyrocketing, I was often dizzy, I didn’t sleep well and constantly felt tired. The doctor advised me to undergo autohemotherapy and talked about the indications and contraindications of the technique in gynecology. At first it was a little scary, but then I decided to try everything.
After the course of injections, I noticed positive changes: more energy appeared, dizziness went away, and my ability to work increased. I recommend!"
ANNA, 24 YEARS OLD:
“My main problem since adolescence has been acne, and what I haven’t done about it.
Still, ugly ulcers appeared on the face, and then they spread to the back and arms. It became completely impossible to tolerate this, and I went to a dermatologist, who prescribed autohemotherapy.
They do it for free at the clinic, and already halfway through the course I noticed an improvement in my condition. There are no side effects, the results can’t help but rejoice.”
How often can autohemotherapy be done?
The autohematotherapy treatment regimen is prescribed by the doctor, but if you know how to give injections, then you can inject blood daily, starting with 2 ml and increasing the dose by 2 ml every 2-3 days, bringing it to 10 ml. The course of treatment is usually 12-15 injections.
As for the duration of the course, it depends on the effectiveness of its effect on the body. Therefore, both the course and frequency of procedures are determined by the doctor. If after the first course there is a significant improvement in your health, then there is no need to repeat it.
For example, for the treatment of juvenile acne, a course of 8-10 injections is enough to significantly improve the condition of the skin and prevent the formation of new inflammations.

The procedure cannot be performed efficiently at home. The technique is among the alternative treatment methods. Until now, its features have not been studied in detail by official medicine. Before going to the session, you must consult a doctor.

Of course, autohemotherapy has many advantages.
But it is more of an auxiliary procedure. It can help fight chronic pathologies and infections, but it will not in any way affect the removal of toxins, the health of the nervous, endocrine system, etc. They are not referred for the procedure if a person urgently needs medication or surgical intervention. Autohemotherapy appeared at the beginning of the last century, but has not yet lost its relevance. With its help, you can get rid of many diseases, strengthen the body's defenses, quickly recover from injuries, and improve the appearance of the skin.
You should first consult with a specialist, undergo a medical examination, and only after that make a decision about the possibility of using the technique.
Treatment regimens
To enhance the effect, manipulation is carried out simultaneously with the introduction of drugs, homeopathic remedies, and ozone. The latter technique is performed in 2 variants - minor and major autohemotherapy. In the first case, venous blood is mixed with an equal part of the oxygen + ozone solution.
In the second case, venous blood first enters a container of 50-150 ml. Then a gas oxygen-ozone mixture is supplied in an amount of 50−300 ml. The composition is administered by infusion into a vein. Effects of therapy:
- immunomodulatory;
- antioxidant;
- improvement of tissue nutrition;
- removal of toxins from the body.
How often you can use the technique of introducing venous blood is decided by the doctor in each case individually. The patient is allowed to take 3 courses per year. The breaks between the two should be more than 3 months. This is explained by the fact that frequent stimulation of the immune system provokes the development of autoimmune pathologies. Due to the prolonged mechanism of exposure to its own venous blood, the body begins to produce antibodies.
Stages of the procedure
There are several schemes for autohemotherapy. The main method is classical. The principle of its implementation is as follows: the patient is injected with venous blood in its pure form intramuscularly or subcutaneously. It can be injected into the upper square of the buttock. You need to act quickly so that it doesn't curl up.
If you perform the manipulation according to the standard scheme, you will need to inject 2 ml of blood. Every day the volume is increased by 2 ml until the maximum dosage is reached (10 ml). The course consists of 10-15 injections. Other methods of performing autohemotherapy:
- Stepped. The blood is diluted with a homeopathic medicine. The composition is administered intramuscularly once.
- Autohemotherapy + ozone. The benefit of this method is to enhance the healing properties. The scheme is used in gynecology.
- Biopuncture. Venous blood is injected into specific acupuncture points. The effect of therapy increases, its duration decreases.
- Autoblood. Before administration, the blood is treated with ultraviolet light and laser. The serum can be frozen.
- Autohemotransfusion. A few days before surgery, the patient's own blood is infused.
After manipulation performed using any method, a heating pad is applied to the injection site and an iodine mesh is applied. This is necessary to relieve discomfort and speed up resorption. If treatment is carried out at home, it is recommended to follow several rules:
- Injections are administered only by a doctor.
- Application of the classical method of therapy.
- Compliance with the dose.
- Sterility.
Use of medications
For skin problems, autohemotherapy is carried out using antibiotics. The main indication for manipulation is the presence of an infection that has caused furunculosis. Before therapy, a full examination is prescribed. Based on the results obtained, the doctor selects the optimal dose. Other drugs that are combined with autohemotherapy:
- Calcium gluconate. Improves the condition of the skin and bones. The drug in large doses harms the functioning of internal organs.
- Aloe. Blood quality improves, the body recovers, tissue regeneration accelerates.
- Penicillin. Promotes rapid recovery of a patient who suffers from infection or inflammation.
Autohemotherapy is used in various fields of medicine. For example, gynecologists prescribe it for disorders of the reproductive system, chronic diseases, inflammation of the female organs, and during menopause. Autohemotherapy is effective against infertility. Dermatology is another area of application of this technique. A positive result is achieved by increasing the body's defenses. This type of acne treatment is common in cosmetology.
It is based on the figure eight principle: blood is taken from the arm. It is then inserted into the opposite buttock. To prevent pain, all actions are performed slowly. In this case, the patient should relax. Blood transfusions for children are indicated when other methods are ineffective and the disease progresses. To treat acne, the child must be over 14 years old. In this case, the following scheme is observed: the initial volume is 1 ml.
The intake is gradually increased to 5 ml. Then the dose is reduced to 1 ml. Treatment lasts 15 days. There is a break of 2-3 days between injections. Children are prescribed only a standard regimen of autohemotherapy, since in pediatrics there is a high risk of side effects.
