OZONE STEAM SAUNA THERAPY

DESCRIPTION

Like the traditional sauna models, ozone steam saunas relax and purify the body through warm, moist air. Unlike traditional saunas, however, they also release activated oxygen, alternately known as ozone, which the body absorbs through its largest organ of respiration and purification, the skin. The ozone then finds its way into the bloodstream.

By allowing ozone in and toxins out via the sweating process that is induced, ozone steam sauna therapy is one of the most powerful methods for increasing tissue and cell oxygenation thus bringing about improvement in health and enhancing longevity.
PURPOSE

PURPOSE

Ozone steam sauna therapy is a natural alternative to detoxify, inactivate infectious disease bacteria and virus organisms. Ozone is an energized form of oxygen with extra electrons. The German physician Albert Wolff first utilized it to treat skin diseases in 1915 and the German Army used it extensively during World War I to treat a wide variety of battle wounds and anaerobic infections.

Since then, ozone has been in almost continuous use especially in Germany, Switzerland and other European countries. Today more than 2500 municipalities worldwide use ozone to purify their water supplies including LA, Moscow, Paris, Montreal and Florence.

Oxygen is a basic element of life and ozone provides one of the best methods of supplying it to the body. Because of oxygen’s involvement in nearly every aspect of the human body’s function (assimilation of nutrients, detoxification & elimination of waste products) it can be used for almost any condition, thus improving one’s overall health.

More specifically, the use of ozone and steam produces a remarkable combination. The use of steam by itself produces an increase in body metabolism due to the increase in body temperature. Increased body temperature will also cause the body to increase its heart rate, blood flow and its production of white blood cells which are necessary to fight infection.

The most important effect however is detoxification. Ozone is probably one of the best non-specific antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal agents available. It has a potent immune activating effect and oxidizes chemicals and heavy metals. Ozone also increases the efficiency of the anti-oxidant enzyme system, which scavenges excess free radicals in the body. Finally, it stimulates the main cycle for the liberation of energy by breaking down proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

Regular use of ozone steam saunas is an effective, relaxing and luxurious way for people recovering from illness, or for those who are already fit and well and wish to deal with the inevitable stresses and toxicity of modern living.

METHOD

Ozone steam sauna therapy takes place inside a hyperthermic chamber. The hyperthermic chamber utilized at Aqua Zen is the “Lexus” of steam sauna cabinets, specially designed and made by Longevity Resources Inc. It is inspected, tested and granted ETL approval for safety and quality by US and Canadian authorities.

The chamber is connected to an ozone generator and an oxygen concentrator to deliver pure, contaminant-free ozone. These devices are also manufactured by Longevity resources Inc. They are the only ones that conform to CSA and UL Standards, and the only ones built in a professional factory, which is ISO 9000 registered (the highest quality standard in the world).

We utilize only steam produced distilled water to ensure optimum results for clients and equipment alike.

PROCEDURE

Prior to and during the ozone steam sauna, clients are given a glass of distilled water with added minerals. The patient then sits in the hyperthermic chamber with the head out. Special care is taken so that the client does not breath in the ozone gas while enjoying the steam bath: the space for the person’s neck is padded with a towel to avoid leakage and a fan is placed overhead to ensure adequate circulation of air. A typical ozone steam bath can last from twenty to thirty minutes.

Immediately after exiting the steam sauna, clients are recommended to shower with cool water for a couple of minutes to remove toxins from the skin surface, which would otherwise be reabsorbed and retoxify the blood. A cool shower closes the pores of the skin that were opened and acts as a tonic.
