When you hear the word “sauna,” you might think of Finland, which has 10,000 years of wellness therapy history. But the concept of a “sweat bath” or “steam bath” for detoxification has ancient roots all around the world, across Scandinavia, Scotland, Russia, Asia, and throughout Native American cultures as well.
Traditionally, saunas were for relaxation (stress relief), purification, and the promotion of overall good health. Recent scientific studies support the sauna as a detoxification tradition, with evidence pointing to a host of benefits, including:
Here at ReSet Lounge, your Chagrin Falls spa, we are excited to offer our clients the cutting-edge HOCATT™ treatment--an infrared ozone sauna that provides an amplified dose of a sauna’s detoxification benefits in a 30-minute session. In addition to the heat and steam, HOCATT™ therapy adds a boost of ozone (03), far infrared waves, frequency specific microcurrents, oxygen and photon light therapy to the mix.
HOCATT™ is short for “Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy”. Hyperthermic refers to the “heat” and steam of the individual sauna capsule. We infuse ozone and carbonic acid into the capsule, and you absorb all of this through the wide-open pores on your skin (transdermal).
It’s a good idea to eat just a light, healthy snack about two hours before your appointment, but not a heavy meal.
HOCATT™ treatment at our Chagrin Falls spa is a turbocharged detoxification sauna, and most of our clients feel the difference after just one session. A lot is going on in the body during one of these sessions:
Far infrared light is used at the beginning to raise the body’s core temperature, which helps the immune system kick viruses, parasites, harmful bacteria, and even yeasts. The body also turns up enzymatic, hormonal, and neurotransmitter activity at this temperature. This therapeutic heat also relaxes muscles and joints and tells the body to start chelating heavy metals out of the system.
Next, a low flow of CO2 mixes with the steam in the HOCATT™ to become carbonic acid, which calms the central nervous system, melting away stress and tension mentally and physically. This opens pores and boosts circulation by nearly 25% in the whole body, increasing the body’s oxygen absorption.
As this beneficial infrared ozone sauna mixture surrounds your body, infusing it with oxygen and removing toxins, full-spectrum light fills the pod, triggering your skin to start producing vitamin D--a powerful antioxidant hormone.
All of these previous steps have prepared your body for the next step: ozone gas, or O3. The O3 is absorbed and turns to O2, with O atoms binding with other O atoms to supercharge your cells with oxygen for powerful healing. This helps your body deactivate viruses, parasites, harmful bacteria, yeast, and fungal infections. Simultaneously, the ozone stimulates the immune system to heal wounds, regenerate damaged tissues, lower inflammation, relieve pain, and move toxins out through the lymph system.
HOCATT™ therapy comes with 120 Electrotherapy (Frequency Specific Micro-currents) programs that you can choose from to help alleviate a host of different conditions from cardiovascular issues, Lyme disease, mold toxicity, Parkinson’s Disease and many others.
HOCATT™ treatment truly combines all the wonderful wellness benefits of a sauna, while adding the powerful molecular detoxification muscle of infrared and ozone into the mix. Here at ReSet Lounge, we have seen it benefit people struggling with chronic conditions, people needing help with women’s health issues, athletes who want to boost their performance, and so much more. It boosts the immune system, promotes injury healing, and does wonders for the skin.
