Hocatt stands for Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology and the machine acts as a personal ozone steam sauna, in which clients sit with just their head exposed to the air, while their body receives the benefits of an infusion of ozone, carbon dioxide, steam, photon light, oxygen and Doterra essential oils.
How Does Hocatt Work?
The steam sauna heats up to a comfortable temperature and then carbon dioxide gas (carbonic acid) is infused into the sauna. After this, the carbon dioxide is removed and the sauna is infused with ozone gas. The heat and the carbon dioxide serve to open up the circulation to the skin so that when the ozone gas is infused it is absorbed by the skin into the general circulation.
Benefits of HOCATT
The health benefits of having a session in the Hocatt ozone steam sauna are extensive.
Increases blood circulation
Stimulates antioxidant enzyme production
Improves absorption of nutrients
Improves skin tone
Increases blood oxygen level and metabolism (anti-aging)
Combats and disposes of pathogens and toxins (detox)
Relaxes muscle tension
Increases energy levels
Increases Seratonin levels (relaxing)
Stimulates Immune System
Speeds Healing
How Does the HOCATT Work?
Normalizes Hormone and Enzyme Production
Reduces Inflammation
Reduces Pain, Calm Nerves
Improves Brain Function
Aids in Weight Loss
Medical-grade ozone is the key player in the effectiveness of the sauna. We have seen many successes with the use of ozone to treat pain, inflammation and infection through our other offered ozone therapies, but the HOCATT is different in that it has the ability to expose the entire body to the healing effects of ozone.
Ozone Quick Facts
Ozone accelerates the production of energy, called ATP, in the mitochondria of the cell
Ozone increases anti-oxidant enzyme system efficiency
Ozone kills bacteria, yeast/fungi, viruses and parasites because these pathogens cannot produce anti-oxidant enzymes, allowing destruction by ozone
Ozone breaks down petrochemicals, removes toxins and free radicals
Ozone increases Oxygen Utilization in tissues
Ozone increases immunity and antibody production
Ozone is ONE of the several beneficial aspects of this sauna. The HOCATT also offers these therapeutic modalities:
Aromatherapy
Carbonic acid therapy
Electrotherapy
Exercise with oxygen therapy
Far infrared light therapy
Hyperthermia
Photon light therapy
Ultraviolet irradiation
HOCATT™ sauna therapy is contraindicated for individuals with acute illnesses (fever, infection), active bleeding, pregnancy (specifically the first trimester), and serious cardiovascular conditions, such as recent heart attacks, stroke, thrombosis, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. It should also be avoided by those with G6PD deficiency, epilepsy, organ transplants, or hyperthyroidism.

Specific Considerations:
Cardiologist Clearance: Elderly individuals or those with known heart conditions must consult a cardiologist, often needing an EKG within the last 12 months, according to O2 WNY.
Medications: Diuretics, barbiturates, and beta-blockers may interfere with the body's heat loss mechanisms.
