OZONE SAUNA
The benefits of a sauna on the immune system and disease processes have been well documented. In addition to being relaxing and soothing, a sauna and the accompanying induced hyperthermia on the
body, mimics the beneficial effects of a fever, without the discomfort. At 104 degrees F., for example, the growth rate of the poliovirus is reduced up to 25p times; at 106 degrees pneumococcus, a bacterium
responsible for pneumonia dies. Apart from the immune system-stimulating effects of sweat therapy, many thought it as one of the most effective and painless detoxifying treatments available. Sweat
contains almost the same elements as urine, and for this reason, the skin is sometimes called the third kidney. It is estimated that as much as 30% of bodily wastes are eliminated by way of
perspiration, and during a steam sauna, the body perspires profusely. By adding ozone into this environment, the ozone is easily absorbed into the skin and lymphatic system because of open pores.
It is very important to point out that the sauna used for this treatment is of the type where the individual’s head protrudes from the top of the sauna, and the individual is therefore not breathing the
ozone/steam mixture.
Many have recognized hyperthermia as a powerful technique in detoxification therapy because it releases the deadly toxins stored in fat cells. Hyperthermia will remove fat-stored chemicals such as
pesticides, PCBs, toxic materials and drug residues from the body. Detoxification is essential to allow the body to repair, and rebuild the immune system.
The sauna is available in the Hamburg office only and can be used during any of the scheduled hours. The sessions last between 15-30minutes and towels are provided.
