Ozone Sauna Treatment [ August 5th, 2007 ] Posted in » Ozone Sauna Treatment
For centuries, men and women have used steam to purify the skin, soothe sore muscles, boost circulation and to relax. A sauna increases the eliminative, detoxifying and cleansing capacity of the skin by stimulating the sweat glands and promotes healthy skin tone and texture due to increased blood circulation. Practitioners of alternative medicine have long recognized hyperthermia treatment (“artificial fever”) as a useful technique in detoxification therapy because it releases toxins stored in fat cells, chemicals such as pesticides, heavy metals and drug residues from the body. Recently conventional medicine began to incorporate hyperthermia treatment in the treatment protocols for cancer.
Introducing ozone, or “activated oxygen” into the sauna, as with an Ozone Steam Cabinet, creates a powerful synergistic effect, working together to stimulate the immune and lymphatic systems, detoxify the body, and destroys bacteria and viruses.
Why Ozone?
Ozone is often called the “best kept secret” of the natural health industry. It is a naturally occuring, highly reactive gas found 20-30 km above the earth where oxygen (O2) is converted to ozone (O3) by the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It is also responsible for the wonderfully clean smell after a thunderstorm. Chemically speaking ozone is an oxygen molecule (O2) with an extra O; high energy oxygen!. Medical ozone has been promoted since the 1870’s to clean the blood and a lot of medical applications has been found for ozone since.
