Start Of A Session:

In the privacy of a changing room, you remove all articles of clothing and wrap yourself in a towel/spa wrap. You are assisted into the HOCATT chamber where you sit back comfortably on the seat, which can be adjusted for your height. The chamber doors are then closed to cover your body, while your head remains outside of the chamber. You may open up your towel/spa wrap at that time.

A neck blanket or towel is placed around your neck to ensure that none of the steam escapes from the chamber onto your face. A special oxygen jet will be placed around your neck to provide pure humidified oxygen for you to breath in - this is to ensure enhanced oxygen saturation in the blood, and also provides a passive exercise with pure oxygen breathing effect. 

During The Session:

During the session, steam and far infrared rays (FIR) heat up the body with the intention of raising the core body temperature to rapidly induce an artificial fever. All bodily processes are enhanced at higher temperatures, including the producing of hormones and enzymes. Keeping the body  in a constant regenerative state helps the body to heal, to stay healthy, and energized. The heat also dilates the pores and enhances circulation, and this is further potentiated by the carbonic acid. The FIR rays penetrate deeply into the skin and subcutaneous tissue, relieving joint and muscle aches/pain and promoting the chelating of heavy metals from the body.

PEMF (pulsed electro-magnetic field) therapy can be used throughout the session. It uses magnetic fields to significantly reduce pain and boost energy, which accelerates healing and regeneration. Special Electrotherapy (FSM-frequency specific microcurrent) programs may also be selected to simulate the muscles, nervous system and cells through foot electrode pads. Electrotherapy works with frequency specific micro-currents that focus on the specific health issue (e.g Lyme Disease, Candida, etc) of the selected program. 

Full spectrum colored light rays also fill the chamber and are absorbed by the skin as they reflect from the steam and the ultra-reflective chamber walls. HOCATT^TM uses all colors of the spectrum, from soothing, relaxing, balancing, and energizing. You may ask for essential oils or leaves tp be added to the steam jet. If you are physically able, you may also opt to do some seated exercises to increases calorie burning during your session.  

For the first 3-8 minutes of the session, CO₂ enters the chamber and is converted into carbonic acid (CA) as it reacts with the steam. The CA  and steam irrigate the skin, and enters through the pours into the blood stream and lymph system. It also dilates the capillaries and the blood vessels, increasing blood circulation throughout the entire body up to 25%. This also draws more blood to the surface of the skin, which enhances the effects of the transdermal ozone. The CA sedates the central nervous system and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, reliving tension, and stress in the spine and muscles. CA is one of very few compounds that naturally, and without any side effects, increases the uptake and delivery of oxygen at cellular level.

After the CA cycle is finished, the ozone cycle starts, and continues for the rest of the session. The ozone reacts with the H₂O (steam) to form sterilizing H₂O₂ on the surface of the skin.The H₂O₂ is partially absorbed through the dilated pores and enters into the blood stream and lymph system. One of the main advantages of Ozone is that it stimulates the body's natural anti-oxidant systems, and boosts energy down to cellular level. It also inactivates viruses, and eliminates bacterial and yeast/fungal infections. Because of the carbonic acid pre-cycle, the absorption of H₂O₂ is enhanced up to 2x as much compared to normal ozone saunas. During this stage you may also elect to use a catheter for vaginal insufflation, or funnels for cupping (e.g. breast cupping).

End Of A Session:

At the end of the session, the entire volume of the ozone and oxygen steam mixture is extracted into the external ozone destructor, in order to prevent it from releasing into the room when the doors open. You may then cover yourself with your towel once again. The oxygen jet and neck blanket/towel will be removed, and then the chamber doors will be opened. When you are ready to stand up, you will be assisted out of the chamber.
