Ozonated glycerin is usually diluted before use: about 10% in saline for a nasal spray, ½ teaspoon to 1 tablespoon a day in water to drink, 2.5% to 10% in distilled water to nebulize, and 10% in lotion for skin.
Glyzine™ is about 10,000 ppm, so a little goes a long way. This guide covers what to mix it with and how much to use, with a simple mixing table at the end.
This article is part of our Ozonated Glycerin (Glyzine™) guide series.
How Do You Use Ozonated Glycerin as a Nasal Spray?
Mix it with saline in a nasal pump bottle.
- 10% strength
- Start at 5% if you're sensitive
- Never use tap water in your nose
How Do You Drink Ozonated Glycerin?
Mix it with water, or cooled tea or coffee. It tastes sweet. Work up slowly:
- Week 1: ½ teaspoon a day
- Week 2: 1 teaspoon a day
- After that: up to 1 tablespoon a day
- Too much at once can loosen stools. If that happens, take less.
How Do You Nebulize Ozonated Glycerin?
Mix it with distilled water. Never nebulize it undiluted.
- Start at 2.5%, then step up to 5% and 10% after a few comfortable sessions
- Sensitive? Start at 1%
- About 1 teaspoon (5 mL) per session, until the cup is empty (10 to 15 minutes)
- Once or twice a day
- Use a plug-in compressor nebulizer with a mask. Mesh and ultrasonic units don't work well with glycerin.
- Keep leftover mix in the fridge and use it within 24 hours

How Do You Use Ozonated Glycerin on Skin?
Mix it with your lotion or moisturizer.
- Everyday face and body: 10%
- Spots: full strength, dabbed on 2 to 3 times a day
- Scalp: a small amount in your palm, massaged in
- Try a small patch of skin first

How Do You Use Ozonated Glycerin in Your Mouth?
Mix it with water.
- Mouthwash: 10%, plus a drop of peppermint oil if you like. Swish for 1 to 2 minutes and spit.
- Gums: full strength. Massage a pea-sized amount into the gum line before bed.
Can You Use Ozonated Glycerin on Pets?
Mix it with distilled water in a spray bottle.
- Skin and coat: 5%. Spray it on and rub it in if you can.
How Do You Mix Ozonated Glycerin?
Start with 3 tablespoons of liquid, then add this much Glyzine™:
| Add to 3 tbsp of liquid | Strength | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 teaspoon | 10% | Nasal spray, mouthwash, skin |
| ½ teaspoon | 5% | Pets, nebulizer step-up |
| ¼ teaspoon | 2.5% | Nebulizer start |
Mix it fresh. Keep leftovers in the fridge and use them within 24 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does ozonated glycerin need to be diluted?
Glyzine™ is about 10,000 ppm. That's strong enough to use full strength on small spots and gums, but sprays, mouthwash and nebulizers use a diluted mix.
Should I use distilled water or saline?
Use saline for your nose, distilled water for a nebulizer or spray bottle, and plain water, or cooled tea or coffee, for drinking. Never put tap water in your nose or nebulizer.
How much should I put in a nebulizer?
About 5 mL (1 teaspoon) of a 2.5% to 10% mix per session, once or twice a day.
How long does a mix last?
Use it within 24 hours and keep it in the fridge. Undiluted Glyzine™ lasts much longer; see how long ozonated glycerin lasts.
Where Do These Amounts Come From?
These amounts follow the Glyzine™ application guide and published guidance from ozone practitioners, including Dr. Robert Rowen's nebulizing guidelines, which start at 1% to 2.5% and allow up to 5 mL twice a day.
