To combat and prevent the consequences of a weakened immune system, we offer patients at Michigan Health and Wellness a unique detoxification treatment that is seven times more effective than conventional saunas: Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy, known as HOCATT.

Inside the HOCATT machine, far infrared rays begin to create steam, heat up the body, and dilate pores. CO2 is then gradually dispersed throughout the chamber, where it reacts with the steam to produce carbonic acid, a compound that naturally encourages the body’s cellular receptivity to oxygen. After the carbonic acid cycle is complete, ozone is released, covering the skin in a layer of ozonated (hyper-oxygenated) steam which can then be absorbed into the body, a technique known as transdermal ozone. Once inside the body, the extra oxygen molecule in ozone makes it easier to bind to toxins and heavy metals, speeding up the detoxification process.

Throughout the entire treatment, patients sit back and relax while breathing pure, humidified oxygen. In just one 30-minute session, patients receive all the benefits of transdermal ozone, carbonic acid, whole-body hyperthermia, far infrared therapy, steam sauna, oxygen breathing, and ultraviolet irradiation combined.
