What Is EBOO Therapy? A Complete Guide to Advanced Blood Ozone Therapy with UV & LED Light
Last updated: · Core IV Therapy, Herndon, VA
Quick answer: What is EBOO therapy? EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) is an advanced form of medical ozone therapy. Blood is drawn through an IV, circulated outside the body through a specialized filter while it is exposed to precisely dosed medical-grade ozone and oxygen, and returned to you in a continuous closed loop. A session takes about 60–90 minutes of treatment time. At Core IV Therapy in Herndon, VA, EBOO costs $1,250–$1,500 per session and is offered as a supportive wellness therapy – it is not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat or cure disease.

What Is EBOO Therapy?
If you’ve been researching advanced wellness therapies, you’ve likely come across EBOO Therapy. This innovative treatment combines Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO) with ultraviolet (UV) and LED blood irradiation to support circulation, oxygen delivery, and overall wellness.
At Core IV Therapy in Herndon, Virginia, we offer EBOO Therapy with integrated UV and LED technology, providing a comprehensive wellness experience for individuals seeking to optimize their health, recovery, and performance.
What Does EBOO Stand For?
EBOO stands for:
Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation
During treatment, blood is gently circulated outside the body through a specialized medical device where it is:
- Filtered
- Oxygenated
- Exposed to a precise concentration of medical-grade ozone
- Treated with UV and LED light
- Returned back to your body
Unlike traditional Major Autohemotherapy (MAH), which treats a relatively small amount of blood at a time, EBOO continuously processes a much larger volume throughout the session.
How Does EBOO Therapy Work?
During your treatment:
- Two IV lines are placed by a trained medical professional.
- Blood circulates through a sterile, closed-loop system.
- The blood passes through a specialized filter.
- Medical-grade oxygen and ozone are introduced.
- The blood is exposed to integrated UV and LED light.
- The treated blood is immediately returned to circulation.
Most treatments last approximately 60–90 minutes.
What Is the Purpose of Ozone Therapy?
Medical ozone is a carefully controlled mixture of oxygen and ozone gas.
Research suggests ozone therapy may help:
- Support healthy circulation
- Improve oxygen utilization
- Promote antioxidant activity
- Support normal immune function
- Reduce oxidative stress
- Encourage healthy inflammatory balance
- Promote overall wellness and recovery
Rather than acting like a medication, ozone creates a controlled oxidative stimulus that encourages the body’s own adaptive responses.
Why Are UV and LED Light Added?
One feature that makes our EBOO treatments unique is the addition of UV and LED blood irradiation.
These technologies have been studied for decades and are believed to help support:
UV Blood Irradiation
Ultraviolet light has been investigated for its ability to:
- Support healthy immune system function
- Promote normal microbial balance
- Encourage cellular signaling
- Support healthy inflammatory responses
LED Blood Irradiation
Specific wavelengths of LED light may help support:
- Healthy circulation
- Cellular energy production
- Mitochondrial function
- Recovery after physical stress
- Tissue oxygenation
When combined with ozone therapy, oxygenation, and filtration, these modalities create a comprehensive wellness protocol.

What does EBOO stand for?
EBOO stands for Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation. Extracorporeal means outside the body: blood is treated with oxygen and medical ozone outside the body, then returned.
How is EBOO different from MAH or IV ozone?
MAH treats a small volume of blood once. EBOO continuously circulates a much larger volume of blood through a filter while ozonating and oxygenating it, making it the most comprehensive form of systemic ozone therapy.
How long does an EBOO session take?
Most EBOO sessions involve about 60 to 90 minutes of treatment time. Plan on roughly two hours for a first visit.
How much does EBOO cost?
At Core IV Therapy in Herndon, VA, EBOO and advanced ozone sessions range from $1,250 to $1,500 per session, confirmed during a free consultation.
Who should not get EBOO therapy?
EBOO is commonly avoided or used with caution in people with G6PD deficiency, pregnancy, uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, bleeding disorders, recent heart attack or stroke, or severe anemia. Every client is screened first.
Is EBOO FDA approved?
No. EBOO is not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Core IV Therapy offers it as a supportive wellness therapy alongside physician care.
