The ozone steam sauna kills bacteria and viruses on contact
Transdermal Ozone Ozone Therapy UK advocates the benefits of steam saunas, and distributes the world-leading HOCATT™, a thermostatically-controlled steam cabinet that boasts built-in features offering steam, ozone and oxygen treatments, as well as pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF)photon light, carbonic acid and microcurrent technologies, as well as far-infrared and essential oils. By combining these settings, spa operators can provide 30 minute sessions targeting the client’s specific needs while utilising transdermal ozone.
Dr. David Minkoff, medical director of Lifeworks Wellness Centre, a complementary medicine clinic in Tampa, Florida, suggests that ozone is an immune booster. “Ozone [delivered via a HOCATT™ ozone steam sauna chamber] kills bacteria, viruses and yeasts on contact, and detoxifies environmental toxins,” he says.
In addition, Ozone saunas offer a range of beauty and anti-ageing benefits including accelerated cell performance and improved function of collagen fibres. After Ozone, clients may benefit from anti-oxidants that could help diminish the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, scarring and fibrous tissues.
According to Dr Minkoff, Ozone can also improve the cellular utilisation of oxygen and can aid the suppression of inflammatory processes.
“It [Ozone] causes the release of growth factors that stimulate damaged joints and degenerative discs to regenerate,” he says.
Nanosecond PEMF High intensity PEMF devices, such as the HUGO™ device, direct energy waves at the human body, causing the cells to vibrate at a certain frequency. Waves from a PEMF device communicate with each cell, aiming to recalibrate our electrical and magnetic fields. Nanosecond PEMF devices, such as the HUGO™, which sandwiches the body between two mats, affect the body by ‘disturbing’ all electromagnetic frequencies in the cells at once, targeting intracellular structures. NASA found that with abrupt releases of energy at nanosecond speed, the magnetic fields stimulated nerve cells, including sites for collagen production, regenerating traumatised tissues, and moderating some neurodegenerative diseases.
