Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy Safety

On the Safety of Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy

Many people in the world have commented on the safety of hydrogen peroxide therapy. Now examine its situation carefully and explore its rationale to understand the safety of this therapy.

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical thing. For medical purposes, its rationale may be based on various effects such as oxidation. However, when it is applied to the human body, the safety and danger are multi-faceted.

First look at its physiological response. The human body has its own delicate balance, and the internal environment is stable to the extreme. If it is treated with hydrogen peroxide, or disturb this balance. For example, in the blood, the original subtle acid-base balance, the entry of hydrogen peroxide, or the change of its pH, and then affect various biochemical reactions. The morphology and function of blood cells may also be affected by it. White blood cells serve as immune defense. If the activity is abnormal due to the action of hydrogen peroxide, or the immune function is disrupted.

Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing. Moderate oxidation may help sterilization, decay and other healing effects. However, it is even more harmful. The cell membrane, the barrier of the cell, is rich in lipids. The strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide can cause lipid peroxidation, damage the integrity of the cell membrane, make the cell lose its barrier ability, the exchange of internal and external substances is disordered, and the cell function gradually decays. And the cellular organs in the cell, such as mitochondria, are also easily damaged by oxidation, causing energy generation to be blocked and cell vitality to gradually decline.

It is also considered in clinical practice. When used properly, there are occasional effective cases. However, those who are accidentally misused or overused often have adverse symptoms. In mild cases, local skin and mucous membranes are red, swollen, and burning, which is the manifestation of hydrogen peroxide stimulation. In severe cases, systemic symptoms are frequent, such as fever, chills, and even life-threatening. Because hydrogen peroxide enters the body, it triggers a chain of immune reactions, or causes systemic inflammatory syndrome, and organ function is impaired.

In summary, the safety of hydrogen peroxide therapy cannot be generalized. Use it with care, observe individual differences carefully, precisely control its dosage and usage, and closely monitor its reaction. Only in this way can we hope that its curative effect will increase, while avoiding its harm and ensuring the well-being of patients.
