What is Ozone Therapy? Ozone therapy is a natural treatment that involves the use of ozone (O3), a highly reactive form of oxygen, to promote healing and detoxification within the body. Ozone has been used in medical settings for decades to treat a variety of conditions, and it’s now gaining popularity as a wellness treatment globally.
How Does Ozone Therapy Work? At Urban Oasis, we administer ozone therapy through our advanced ozone sauna pod. This unique treatment involves sitting inside a steam pod with your head sticking out, allowing you to relax while receiving the benefits of ozone therapy. The process begins with an external medical oxygen concentrator, which takes regular air (with about 20% oxygen) and increases the oxygen content to around 93%. This high concentration of oxygen is then fed into a built-in ozone generator inside the sauna pod. The generator converts the oxygen into ozone (O3), which is then pumped into the sauna pod, surrounding the individual with ozone-rich air. As you sit comfortably in the pod, the ozone penetrates your skin and works its magic from the inside out.
How Long Does the Treatment Take? Each ozone therapy session in our sauna pod typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes. The duration can vary depending on your individual needs and health goals. Most people find that this timeframe is ideal for experiencing the full benefits without feeling overwhelmed. It’s recommended to start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the time based on your comfort level and the advice of our wellness professionals.
Dos and Don’ts for Ozone Therapy:
Dos:
- Stay hydrated before and after your treatment. Drinking water helps your body better handle the detoxification process.
- Wear nothing inside the pod. For the best results, we recommend that you are naked inside the sauna pod. This ensures that the ozone can directly contact your skin for maximum benefits.
- Relax during the session. Sit back, breathe deeply, and allow the ozone to work its healing benefits while you enjoy the experience.
- Consult with a professional if you are pregnant, have a serious health condition, or are unsure if ozone therapy is right for you. Our team will guide you through the best approach for your needs.
- Consider scheduling a massage after your session. A massage after ozone therapy can enhance the detoxification process, helping to improve circulation and relax your muscles, further boosting the benefits of the therapy.
Don’ts:
- Avoid heavy meals right before your ozone therapy session. A light snack is fine, but eating a large meal can make you feel uncomfortable during the session.
- Don’t use any perfumes, lotions, or oils before entering the sauna pod, as these can interfere with the ozone’s effectiveness.
- Don’t smoke or consume alcohol before or after your ozone therapy. Both can hinder the healing and detoxification process.
- Don’t shower for at least 1 hour after your ozone therapy session. Showering too soon can interrupt the body’s ability to fully absorb the ozone and reduce its effectiveness.
Benefits of Ozone Therapy:
- Boosts Immunity: Ozone therapy helps strengthen the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells, which play a key role in fighting off infections and illnesses. A strong immune system is essential for overall health and wellness, especially as we face new environmental and lifestyle stressors.
- Detoxifies the Body: Ozone has the ability to break down toxins and harmful substances in the body, promoting a natural detoxification process. This can help clear out impurities, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
- Improves Skin Health: Ozone therapy can enhance skin circulation and accelerate the healing of wounds, acne, and other skin conditions. It helps reduce inflammation and stimulates collagen production, leading to healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
- Increases Energy and Vitality: By improving oxygenation and circulation in the body, ozone therapy can help increase energy levels, reduce fatigue, and improve overall vitality. Regular sessions can leave you feeling more energetic and ready to take on daily activities with ease.
- Promotes Healing and Recovery: Whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or simply experiencing the effects of stress and fatigue, ozone therapy can accelerate the healing process. Its ability to promote blood flow and tissue regeneration helps speed up recovery time and reduce pain.
- Fights Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is at the root of many health issues, from joint pain to autoimmune conditions. Ozone therapy has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce swelling, discomfort, and the long-term effects of inflammation.
