It’s officially cold and flu season, which means all kinds of viruses and pathogens are floating in the air, lurking on door handles, and spreading across other surfaces you probably touch all the time just before rubbing your eyes. Speaking of flu by itself, between 34 and 75 million people suffered it last year, not counting all the other colds and illnesses, including COVID-19, which continues to spawn new variants and illnesses all the time.
Who has time for that? Nobody does, and certainly not you. Here at ReSet Lounge, your Chagrin Falls Spa, we urge you to take your vitamins, get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, eat healthy, and schedule an appointment to fortify your immune system against invaders with HOCATT™ therapy. Our HOCATT™ capsule combines the immune-boosting powers of ozone therapy and an infrared sauna, all in one ultra-relaxing, super-healing, pathogen-blasting session.
Understanding Immune Health in Cold and Flu Season
Your immune system comprises many parts of your body, including your skin, respiratory system, digestive tract, white blood cells, B lymphocytes, cytokines, proteins, and more. While some parts of your immune system (the innate immune system) are designed to keep invaders from getting inside you in the first place, the adaptive immune system is what kicks into gear when germs get in. You’ll often notice that your respiratory tract reacts with extra coughing, sneezing, and mucous. All of that is a sign that your immune cells are at war. How fast your immune system can successfully win the battle depends on whether or not it’s operating at full capacity, with the energy it needs to get the job done.
Unfortunately, colder months of the year can wreak havoc on the immune system. The holiday rush usually means less rest, more stress, and a lopsided diet, to say the least. We travel more and congregate indoors where heating systems pump out the warm dry air germs enjoy. With depressed immune function and higher germ activity, is it any wonder this is the official cold and flu season? Armed with this knowledge, you can take proactive steps to reinforce your immune system. The HOCATT™ infrared ozone sauna takes your reinforcements to the next level.
What is Infrared Ozone Sauna Wellness Technology?
HOCATT™ therapy, or infrared ozone sauna, is a form of ozone therapy dialed to 11. For the half-hour-long session, your body is comfortably nestled inside the HOCATT™ capsule as you rest your head in the open air, breathing oxygen through a cannula. During that 30 minutes, your skin breathes in a series of scientifically ordered waves of therapeutic steam, infrared light, CO2, and then ozone, specific ultraviolet light, and electrotherapy. Elements such as beneficial essential oils are also added for additional therapeutic effects.
How Ozone Therapy Supports the Immune System
This succession of warming, soothing, and healing modalities of HOCATT™ therapy performs a head-to-toe cellular bio-hacking massage of your immune system that provides the following benefits:
- Neutralizes pathogens: The combined effects of this infrared ozone sauna experience eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungal infections both externally and internally.
- Stimulates the immune system: During ozone therapy, your internal body temperature is raised slightly, stimulating healing enzymes, neurotransmitters, and protein signalers, activating their healing and infection-boosting power.
- Calms the nervous system: As this wellness technology revs up your internal healing and immune powers, it also calms and relaxes any tension and stress, lowering cortisol levels, soothing sore muscles, and improving your ability to get a good night’s sleep.
- Improves circulation: This calming and warming of the whole body dilates blood vessels, improving circulation and the ability of oxygen and nutrients to flow throughout the body. All of this improves your body’s ability to ward off illness and heal, inside and out.
- Removes toxins: We are all exposed to toxins in our modern world, but ozone therapy helps your body identify, disentangle, and eliminate them, liberating your immune system from things that hinder its ability to function at full capacity.
- Reduces inflammation: Although acute inflammation is part of the body’s immune response, environmental stressors of all kinds can lead to elevated levels of cortisol, which extends inflammation into painful, chronic territory. The infrared ozone sauna’s wellness technology modalities lower chronic inflammation levels to improve sleep, nutrient absorption, detoxification, metabolism, energy levels, and the ability of the immune system to fight off invaders while healing any damage they might cause.
Our clients who used the HOCATT™ during last year’s cold, flu, etc. season were pleasantly surprised by how they were able to sail through the winter with fewer or even no illnesses getting in their way. In short, ozone therapy isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity through cold and flu season.
