Support deeper detox, better oxygenation and renewed energy
Recirculatory Hemoperfusion (RHP), also called Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO), filters your blood and treats it with medical-grade oxygen and ozone before returning it to your body. At Verve Holistic Health in Tustin, CA , our naturopathic doctors use this therapy to help patients who are dealing with toxic burden, chronic inflammation, fatigue and other long-standing health concerns.
Book OnlineTwo Levels of RHP / EBOO
EBOO Level I
Level I oxygenates and ozonates your blood while filtering it before it returns to you. The procedure runs for about 60 minutes. Please plan for 90 minutes in total.
EBOO Level II
Level II enhances toxin removal through added filtration and ozonation of your blood. The procedure also runs for about 60 minutes. Please plan for 90 minutes in total.
Why Consider RHP / EBOO?
Our world is more toxic than at any time in the past. Most people are low in essential nutrients while being exposed to chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals and biotoxins every day. Over time, this can leave the body more vulnerable to chronic infections, chemical sensitivities, and immune, endocrine and metabolic imbalance.
In this environment, many patients need more foundational and targeted care than they once did. Conventional medicine has done a great deal to extend life, but improving quality of life remains a challenge for many people. Verve Holistic Health is committed to offering advanced therapies that support better quality of life now, along with longer-term benefits for longevity.
Published research on ozone therapies has explored benefits for interstitial cystitis, chronic hepatitis, herpes infections, dental infections, diabetes and macular degeneration. You can read a peer-reviewed article here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10741810/
Ozone improves tissue oxygenation and blood flow. It may help relieve pain and inflammation and reduce excess free radicals, which are key to rejuvenation and overall health. To learn how ozone is used in other forms, see our ozone therapy page.
What RHP / EBOO Does
During treatment, your blood is exposed to medical-grade oxygen (O2) mixed with ozone (O3) and filtered before it is returned to you. The goal is to purify the blood and enhance cellular oxygen levels, blood flow and healing.
Clinical experience and studies suggest that EBOO / RHP may:
- Modulate the immune response to infection through its ability to act against viruses, fungi and pathogenic bacteria.
- Improve the cellular use of oxygen, which may reduce ischemia in cardiovascular disease.
- Increase NAD+, which supports energy, metabolic and neurological function.
- Trigger the release of growth factors that stimulate damaged joints and degenerative discs to regenerate.
- Reduce chronic pain through its action on pain receptors.
Health Concerns RHP / EBOO May Help Address
RHP / EBOO is used as part of an individualized plan for a wide range of concerns, including:

What to Expect During Your Session
A basic venipuncture is typically placed in one arm. Your blood flows through a tube into the machine, where it is filtered and ozonated. It then returns to your body through a second venipuncture site in your other arm.
The power of this therapy comes from both the ozonation and the filtration. A session takes about one to two hours.
The number of treatments depends on your condition and how you respond. A typical course is once a week for the first month, followed by maintenance sessions or additional cycles every 3 to 4 months. Your doctor will review the expected protocol with you before your first treatment. If you are not sure where to begin, a naturopathic consultation is a good first step.
RHP / EBOO Frequently Asked Questions
What is RHP / EBOO?
Recirculatory Hemoperfusion (RHP), also known as Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO), is a therapy that filters your blood and exposes it to medical-grade oxygen and ozone before returning it to your body. It is designed to support detoxification, oxygenation and healing.
What is the difference between EBOO Level I and Level II?
Level I oxygenates and ozonates your blood while filtering it. Level II adds enhanced toxin removal through additional filtration and ozonation. Both are about 60 minutes of treatment time, and your doctor will help you choose the level that fits your health goals.
How long does an RHP / EBOO session take?
The treatment itself runs about 60 minutes, but we ask you to plan for 90 minutes to allow for setup and check-in. Some sessions can take up to two hours in total.
How does the procedure work?
A basic venipuncture is placed in one arm, and your blood flows through a tube into the machine, where it is filtered and ozonated. The treated blood then returns to your body through a second venipuncture in your other arm.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on your condition and your response to care. A typical course is once a week for the first month, followed by maintenance sessions or additional cycles every 3 to 4 months. We will review the expected protocol with you before treatment begins.
What conditions can RHP / EBOO help with?
Clinical experience and studies suggest it may help with chronic infections, toxic burden, heavy metal exposure, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, chronic fatigue and cardiovascular concerns. Results vary from person to person, and your doctor will discuss realistic expectations for your situation.
How is RHP / EBOO different from other ozone therapies?
RHP / EBOO combines ozonation with filtration of your blood, which makes it a more comprehensive approach than ozone alone. It is often used alongside other therapies at our Tustin clinic as part of a personalized care plan.
