Ozone is enhanced Oxygen. It has an additional oxygen molecule- you can think of ozone as SuperOxygen!
It is indeed safe! Ozone is an age-old natural healing modality and a well-researched therapy, with numerous studies published in medical journals worldwide, including esteemed journals such as a PubMed. Ozone has outstanding safety records and astonishing efficacy and virtually all categories of disease due to its anti-oxidant stimulation and energy production capabilities. It has been deemed as one of the safest treatments with the fewest side effects. Ozone is only hazardous when it is directly inhaled, as it can irritate the mucous membranes of the lungs.
EVERYONE! Those who want to: maintain or improve on performance, manage weight, improve appearance or slow the hands of time (anti-aging); boost the immune system so the body can fight infections and maintain a state of well being: want to relieve acute and chronic pain, want to ensure faster post-operative recovery; have been told that there is no other solution. The HOCATT is so versatile that almost everyone can benefit from the HOCATT.
HOCATT sessions are usually 25-30 minutes! Most protocols recommend 2-3 sessions per week, but some cases do require daily sessions initially. A couple of sessions per month are recommended even for the healthiest clients to maintain and increase vitality
If at any point during the session you get too hot, the temperature can be lowered, or the session can be stopped. All features of the HOCATT can be increased or decreased to suit your level of comfort.
HOCATT, and especially VI application, is actually recommended for those who are planning or trying to fall pregnant, and it is safe for breastfeeding women. However, as with most anything, it is advised that you do not use the HOCATT during the 3months of pregnancy, at is during this time the fetus is most vulnerable.
In most cases HOCATT™ therapy is very complementary to conventional medications, often enhancing their efficacy. HOCATT™ therapy also promotes the absorption and bio-avaliablity of nutrients when taking vitamin/mineral supplements. We have seen many cases where chemotherapy patients using the HOCATT™ not only experience reduced side effects but also an enhanced efficacy of treatment. Please consult your doctor about your concerns before starting HOCATT™ therapy.
HOCATT™ therapy is contraindicated during menstruation, as it dilates the arteries and may increase the blood flow (i.e you might mess on your towel). If you choose to do HOCATT™ therapy anyway, it is advised that you keep on your underwear and a sanitary pad/tampon. DO NOT DO VAGINAL INSUFFLATION WHILE MENSTRUATING.
The HOCATT™ has a second ozone generator dedicated to auxiliary attachments for OPTIONAL ozone cupping or Vaginal insufflation(VI), during or outside of a HOCATT™ session. Using a glass funnel/set of breast cups focuses a high concentration of ozone over a specific problematic area. VI is recommended for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and vaginal infection (yeast / fungal, bacterial, viral). Often these infections decrease fertility, so ozone Vi’s are highly recommended for those who are looking to fall pregnant. To do the ozone VI, you insert a catheter about 5cm into the vagina.
You do not have to do all of the modalities if you do not wish to. You can select which modalities you want before the session starts, and during the session, you may also ask for any of the modalities to be switched off or on.
