OZONE STEAM SAUNA
What is Ozone?
Oxygen is O2 and ozone is O3. Ozone is an activated, trivalent (three atoms) form of oxygen. Over a period of 20-30 minutes, ozone breaks down into two atoms of regular oxygen by giving up one atom of singlet oxygen leaving a single, reactive oxygen atom. Medical ozone is made when medical grade oxygen is activated using an ozone generator. All of our cells need a continuous supply of oxygen to fuel the chemical reactions that generate energy, detoxify internal and externally derived waste products and to maintain production of structural cell components. Any decrease in the availability of oxygen due to shallow breathing, poor posture, deoxygenated water, no exercise, refined foods, smoking, environmental pollution or exposure to carbon monoxide, reduces the optimal performance of our essential cellular functions.
What is Ozone Therapy
Ozone Therapy will Make you use Oxygen Better! = More Energy… The body thrives on oxygen. Without oxygen the body dies in minutes. But just breathing oxygen is not enough. Your body also has to be able to use the oxygen to create energy, and this process must be done efficiently. And this is where the problem lies. As we get older and when people become ill, of course they are still breathing, but they don’t use that oxygen they are breathing effectively. They have trouble turning that oxygen into life giving energy. They can’t make enough energy, and they get sicker instead of recovering. That is where medical ozone therapy comes in. Ozone is the most powerful form of oxygen on the planet. Much more powerful than the oxygen that is in the air we breathe. When doctors apply ozone therapy to their patients all kinds of beneficial effects happen that don’t happen with when regular oxygen is used. One of those effects is that it improves the way the body uses oxygen. But that’s not all. Listed below are several other very important effects from ozone therapy.
What exactly is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone Therapy is the use of ozone in medicine. Ozone Therapy is used on both people and also our animals, our pets, horses, and even livestock. Ozone Therapy is used outside the body on skin to address rashes, infections, cuts, scrapes, bruises, burns and any other affliction or infection that may occur. Ozone is also used inside the body and when it is, it is called ‘systemic’ Ozone Therapy. Systemic Ozone Therapy is used to address virtually any chronic disease such as cancer, chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, diabetes, etc., and also simple diseases such as colds and flus. The afflictions and diseases where ozone will provide a beneficial effect are virtually endless. Because of the great success rate Ozone has in treating these diseases, Ozone Therapy has been very popular in many European countries for decades. Thanks to the newly created American Academy of Ozonotherapy it is also gaining a strong foothold in North America.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Steam Sauna Ozone therapy is one of the most comforting forms of Ozone Therapy. It helps restore your body’s natural balance to heal itself by combining the beneficial oxygenation and detoxification effects of ozone and a steam sauna.
You will sit in the Ozone pod with your head out of the top of the pod while steam and an ozone, oxygen mixture circulates inside the unit. The steam and heat trigger the opening of your pores. In the most simplest explanation – ozone enters your body through your skin into your lymphatic fluid, blood and fat cells. Toxins in your lymph, fat & blood are oxidized, the oxidized toxins are expelled out through your skin, sparing your liver and kidneys and your body goes through the process of cleansing viruses, bacteria, yeasts, fungi and parasites.
A treatment is usually between 20 – 30 minutes depending on your health. You will sit either naked or in underwear on a towel with a towel placed at your feet inside the pod. A towel is placed around the top of the pod to prevent steam escaping. No jewellery, water bottles or foreign objects should be taken into the pod with you due to the heat. The therapist will give you water to drink during your session and the therapist will wipe your face should you require it during the session.
You can expect to emerge from the treatment feeling relaxed, refreshed and energized. Some experience detox symptoms. Bring a small towel to freshen up with and fresh underwear with you for after the session. Remember to drink plenty of water and breathe deeply for the rest of the day!
For general detoxification and well being a schedule of 10 steam sauna ozone therapy treatments with 2 to 3 sessions a week is advised. For chronic medical disorders up to 30 sessions or more are required.
