Ozone Sauna
What is Ozone Sauna Therapy?
Ozone sauna therapy is the combination of steam sauna and ozone gas. During an ozone sauna session you sit in a sauna pod that covers you from the neck down and induces sweating using steam from distilled water. This sweating opens up pores to allow the ozone gas to be absorbed by the skin. As you sit in the sauna pod, ozone gas is introduced at the same time. So when you combine the wet and warm skin with the ozone gas the extra oxygen that goes in has such great anti-inflammatory and immune boosting effects. Ozone sauna therapy is believed to be a powerful treatment which may be comparable to IV ozone administrations just without the needle. Ozone therapy breaks up lactic acid, increases cellular respiration in muscles, and speeds up recovery of damaged tissue. Ozone therapy works by enhancing the body’s utilization of oxygen which enables us to better fight infections, slow cellular aging, increase fertility, enhance natural detoxification processes. improves blood circulation, improves vitamin and mineral absorption, fights inflammation, and is wonderful at killing mold, parasites, candida, viruses and bacteria. It is supportive for anyone wanting to boost the immune system, detoxify, get pregnant, reduce bacterial and fungal load, clear the skin or reduce the effects of aging.

What to expect:
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. Ozone then 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. Because ozone enters the body and pulls toxins out of fat cells it increases the body’s metabolism and can assist with weight loss. A treatment is usually between 20 or 30 minutes depending on your health. But we also offer 10 minute sessions to help prevent too much detox and if you just want to give it a try and don’t have enough time. You will sit naked on a towel inside the pod. You could also have a towel wrapped around you but the idea is the more skin that is exposed to the steamy ozone air the better. No jewelry, water bottles or foreign objects should be taken into the pod with you due to the wet heat.
You can expect to emerge from the treatment feeling relaxed, refreshed and energized. We provide towels to dry off. Remember to drink plenty of water and breathe deeply for the rest of the day!
What is ozone sauna therapy used for?
Ozone saunas are used for a wide array of conditions because of its potent anti-inflammatory, detox, and immune system boosting effects. Ozone sauna therapy can be used for:
Joint pain, Multiple Sclerosis, Foggy Brain, as a complementary treatment to reduce side-effects of chemotherapy, Lyme disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, Auto-immune disorders, Lupus, Eczema, Injuries, Weight loss, Chronic viral diseases like EBV, Hepatitis B and C, Bacterial infections, Fungal infections, Skin ulcers (diabetic, infectious, necrotic), Allergies, Influenza, cold, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Poor Circulation, Diabetes, Scleroderma, Asthma and more
A few other details:
Because of the intensity of the detox, it is good idea to get muscle tested for how long your ozone sauna session should be. We have 10, 20, or 30 minute intervals. The longer the session the more oxygen can get into the body but we don’t want to detox too fast. Signs of detoxing too fast from the ozone would be a rash or fatigue. The body goes into fatigue because all of the body’s energy goes to detoxing and not towards daily output. If this happens just be kind to yourself for the day and it usually wears off with a good night sleep. I do see for general detoxification and wellbeing a schedule of four 30 minute sessions once every other week sessions is tested often. For chronic medical disorders up to 12 sessions or more are required but everyone is different and we want to personalize your care.
For those who just want to do steam sauna and not ozone it is possible to turn the ozone off and get the health benefits of just the hot sauna.
You are not allowed to do the ozone sauna if you have high blood pressure, are worried about a stroke, have had an organ transplant, or have hyperthyroidism. If you are pregnant please do not partake in sauna ozone therapy, rather consider it for your post pregnancy protocol.

Ozone for the Sinuses
Ozone introduced via the nose also known as nasal insufflation provides benefits to both the nasal passageways, sinuses, and the entire body. Breathe in microscopic organic olive oil (made in a glass jar to be Healing Arts approved because it can’t be in plastic or aluminum) treated with the extra oxygen from the ozone. Inhaling ozone this way helps to reduce allergy symptoms, sinus pain, headaches and inflammation throughout the body.
Studies have mixed reviews on directly breathing in ozone through the lungs and yet the extra oxygen that ozone gives can be so beneficial for the body. Dr. Armitstead loves putting ozone in the air having been asthmatic in her childhood. It cleans the air, kills germs and makes it easier for her to breathe. Knowing these benefits she loved brining the ozone sauna into the office. To be able to absorb the ozone in through the skin has done wonders for our patients. We have seen wonderful changes in the reduction of pain, eczema, and psoriasis, less toxins, and better sleep. Did you know that the ozone sauna can also help with fertility? It really is amazing! Knowing how amazing it is to absorb ozone through the skin made us want to also offer it through the nose and sinuses.
Using nasal insufflation is another safe and easy way to bring extra oxygen into the body. We first have the ozone react with olive oil and then have the client breathe it in. Ozone reacts with the oil to form ozonides and terpenes. It does not contain any active ozone gas so it will not cause irritation. This chemical reaction keeps the lungs safe while still having the health benefits. Health benefits include reduction in sinus pressure and irritation, decrease inflammation in the nasal passages, provides relief from both acute and chronic sinusitis, kills bacteria and viruses, helps with asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and other respiratory infections, reduces brain fog, and promotes overall health and wellness. I will personally do a 20 min treatment once a week to stay healthy. Depending on what you need it for, recommendations vary. For an acute sinus infection you may need it 3 times a week until the infection is gone. Whereas for a chronic infection with no pressure you want once a week for at least four weeks.
