5 Ozone sauna
Another weird wellness treatment that takes place entirely inside a futuristic-looking pod? Ozone sauna! More specifically, hypothermic ozone and carbonic acid transdermal therapy… or HOCATT, for short. HOCATT machines comprise eight treatments that are personalised to each patient’s symptoms and needs, including ozone therapy, ultraviolet irradiation, carbon dioxide therapy, oxygen therapy, electrotherapy, infrared therapy, hyperthermia, ultrasonic cavitation, aromatherapy, and colour therapy.
It sounds intimidating, but the patient just sits inside the pod enjoying a steamy ozone sauna for half an hour while breathing in pure oxygen. During that time, the machine will do everything listed above, which in turn supposedly results in increased circulation, energy, antioxidant enzyme production, and nutrient absorption, as well as a more even skin tone.
