What is the Ozone-Oxygen sauna? A hyperthermic chamber is an enclosed box that you sit inside of, your head however stays outside. Steam is produced inside to increase the temperature anywhere from 90 degrees all the way up to 130 degrees. When the chamber begins to heat up it really doesn’t feel as hot as it is. Why? It’s because your head is outside, and your breathing cool room air.
During the sauna, the pores in your skin will open releasing trapped toxins. While the pores are open they not only drain toxins but also absorb the oxygen rich air. The air inside the chamber is 90-95% pure oxygen with a 3-5% ozone mixture. What does the ozone do? Well, ozone is supercharged oxygen, it will rapidly oxidize dead or damaged cells. It can also help to speed up your metabolism, burning fat at a much higher rate. This leaves the skin tighter, toner, softer, healthier and more flexible. The ozone-oxygen mixture also really relaxes the muscles. So you’ll feel great afterward!
The sessions take about 45 minutes all together. The actual amount of time your in the sauna is a maximum of 30 minutes. You are undressed during the session, although you are completely covered the entire time. If at any point during your session you need to exit the chamber, you can very easily open the doors and step out quickly. I have had very claustrophobic people tell me that it was easy to have a session because they could move their arms and legs around inside the chamber. The other thing that helped was that their heads were not enclosed inside so it made it more comfortable for them. So, what if I don’t mind having my head inside the chamber? The chamber is not made to have your head to be inside because of the oxygen-ozone mixture. Inhaling oxygen-ozone rich air can be very bad for your health. Smelling ozone slightly is okay in very low amounts. When it is ozone is absorbed through the skin it is very safe. Plenty of detoxification is taking place inside the chamber.
What can the sauna do for me? It can help to relieve an overburdened body of toxins as well as oxygenate healthy cells in your tissues. Relaxes muscles, helps with aches and pains, can help to raise your energy levels. Many women say that it helps with their cellulite and stretch marks, as well as menstrual cramps. It can help to heal certain injuries faster than normal. It’s great for skin problems. If your sick with a cold or a flu your body naturally creates a fever to expel invading viruses and bacteria. The sauna creates an “artificial” fever which can help your body to purge unwanted invaders very quickly.
By relieving toxic burdens your body may be carrying you can help to prevent ill health in the future. It can also increase your vitality and zest for life. Chemically toxic people can find very quick relief by sweating those chemicals out. Then their bodies can heal. Who would be chemically toxic and may not know it? Painters, mechanics, lab techs, scientists, engineers, factory workers, military personnel, medical personnel, housewives, maids, essentially anyone who comes into contact with chemicals through their skin or respiratory tract. No matter how little they may actually come into contact with it may be too much depending on the chemical and their body. If you can smell a chemical your coming into contact with it at that very moment.
