Ozone is enhanced oxygen. Regular oxygen has 2 oxygen molecules (O2) but ozone has 3 oxygen molcules (O3).

You can think of ozone as Super Oxygen!

Ozone sessions are 30 minutes. Most protocols recommend 10 sessions (2-3 sessions per week) but some cases do require daily sessions initially (eg if undergoing chemo).

A couple of sessions per month are recommended for even the healthiest clients looking to maintain and increase their vitality.

YES! Ozone is been deemed 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.

Ozone is primarily used to kill pathogens (bacteria, viruses and fungi) in the body. These organisms cannot survive in an oxygenated environment.

Ozone is also use alongside chemotherapy to strengthen healthy cells exposed to chemo as well as to protect the body from tumour lysis (when poisonous contents leak from cancerous cells during chemo).

Ideally NOT, as it dilates arteries and may increase the blood flow (ie, you might mess on your towel). If you choose to do ozone anyway, it is advised that you keep your underwear on and wear a sanitary pad/ tampon. DO NOT DO VAGINAL INSUFFLATIONS WHILE MENSTRUATING.

If at any point during the session you get too hot, the temperature can be lowered, or the session can be terminated. All features of the HOGATT™ ozone capsule can be increased or decreased to suit your level of comfort. You are not locked in to the capsule and may open it if absolutely necessary (not ideal though as ozone gas will be released into the air and can be harmful to the respiratory system).

In most cases ozone is complementary to conventional medications, often enhancing their efficacy. Ozone also promotes the absorption and bio-availability of nutrients when taking vitamin/mineral supplements. We have even seen many cases where chemotherapy patients using ozone not only experience reduced side effects, but also an enhanced efficacy of the chemo. Please consult your doctor about your concerns before starting ozone sessions.

Cupping and insufflation is direct concentration of ozone over or in a specific problematic area….eg to treat vaginal infections like UTI and candida (insufflation) or the breast (cupping) in the case of breast cancer therapy. Insufflation is recommended for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and vaginal infections (yeast/fungal, bacterial, viral). Often these infections decrease fertility, so ozone is highly recommended for those who are looking to fall pregnant. To do the vaginal insufflation you insert an ozone catheter about 5cm into the vagina and sit with your legs apart.

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 wellbeing. If you want to relieve acute and chronic pain, want to ensure faster post-operative recovery and have been told there is no other solution. The HOCATT is so versatile that almost everyone can benefit from it.

Please note that you should NOT use ozone therapy during the first 3 months of pregnancy, as it is during this time when the fetus is most vulnerable.

Ozone is safe for and recommended for those who are planning or trying to fall pregnant, and it is safe for breastfeeding women.

Drink 500ml warm water and a snack just prior to arriving for your session.

Remove all jewelry. Wear loose clothing.

It is best not to shower for at least 7 hours after the session so you may want to shower before your session.

Clients who wear pace-makers are contraindicated for ozone therapy.
