Ozone Sauna to Support Reproductive Health
Pioneering research-backed therapy for fertility (such as endometriosis) and whole-body rejuvenation
Dr. Zaher Merhi is the FIRST physician in the world to study and publish the effects of Ozone Sauna on human reproduction.
His research showed that Ozone Sauna
-
Could improve egg quality and IVF outcome
-
Could lower inflammation in Endometriosis
-
Could improve uterine lining thickness
-
Could lower body microplastics
Regular Oxygen (O₂)
Oxygen that we breathe from the air is composed of two oxygen atoms (O₂).
Ozone (O₃)
Ozone is a naturally occurring form of oxygen composed of three oxygen atoms (O₃), giving it unique biological and regenerative properties.
The Role of Ozone Sauna in Inflammation and Reproductive Aging
-
Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are among the main contributors to reproductive aging and loss of vitality.
-
These processes occur due to natural cell division as well as external factors such as environmental toxins, stress, and lifestyle exposures, leading to the formation of harmful free radicals.
-
Free radicals can damage ovarian cells, uterine tissue, and even DNA, contributing to poor egg quality, impaired uterine receptivity, and reduced fertility.
The regenerative Ozone Sauna helps counteract this process by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
What Is Ozone Used For?
There are over 100 known benefits of ozone therapy.
Dr. Merhi has published a peer-reviewed study demonstrating that a combination of Ozone Sauna and PEMF therapy using the HOCATT™ machine could potentially represent a therapeutic adjunct for women with inflammatory conditions such as endometriosis, poor egg quality, and thin endometrial lining.
RFC has been featured in multiple media outlets for its innovative use of Ozone Sauna therapy for women with endometriosis and fertility challenges.
History and Medical Use of Ozone
Ozone therapy has a long medical history dating back to the early 20th century. During World War I, ozone was used as an antiseptic to sterilize instruments and treat wounds.
Over time, ozone has been studied and utilized for:
-
Cancer-related care
-
Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis)
-
Vascular diseases
-
Infections (bacteria, viruses, parasites)
How Does Ozone Help the Body?
Are There Studies Supporting Ozone Sauna Therapy?
Ozone Sauna therapy utilizes the biologic properties of ozone (O₃) to help the body take in and utilize oxygen more efficiently.
Research suggests ozone therapy may offer:
-
Antioxidant effects
-
Anti-inflammatory benefits
-
Antiviral and antibacterial support
Who Is a Good Candidate for Ozone Sauna?
Ozone Sauna Session Explained
Each Ozone Sauna session lasts 30 minutes. We typically recommend 2 sessions per week for 3 weeks (a total of 6 sessions) to observe potential benefits.
At RFC, we use the HOCATT™ machine, as we have performed extensive research on its efficacy for nearly a decade.
What Is HOCATT™?
HOCATT™ stands for Hyperthermic Oxygen Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology.
It combines 10 advanced therapeutic modalities in one system:
-
Transdermal Ozone
-
CO₂ / Carbonic Acid
-
Whole-Body Hyperthermia (infrared + steam)
-
High-Intensity PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields)
-
Frequency-Specific Microcurrents
-
Exercise with Oxygen Breathing
-
Essential Oil Infusions
-
Photon Light & Color Therapy
-
Ultrasonic Cavitation
Step-by-Step HOCATT™ Ozone Sauna Experience
Step 1
You will sit back comfortably on the adjustable seat and the chamber doors are closed to cover the body while the head remains outside the chamber. A neck cape ensures comfort and the retention of the steam chamber contents. The HOCATT™ has a second ozone generator dedicated to Vaginal Insufflation via a disposable catheter that you introduce yourself (few centimeters intravaginally) to insufflate Ozone into the reproductive area.
Step 2
CO2 is infused in the beginning of the HOCATT™ session to react with the steam and create Carbonic Acid. Carbonic Acid is one of the very few compounds that naturally, and without any side effects, increases the uptake and delivery of Oxygen at the cellular level (aka the Bohr Effect).
Step 3
The Activated Oxygen cycle starts as soon as the CO2 cycle has ended, and continues for the duration of the HOCATT™ session. The activated oxygen reacts with the steam to form wellness products on the surface of the skin. Thanks to the CO2 pre-cycle, the efficacy of the activated oxygen cycle in the HOCATT™ is greatly potentiated compared to other wellness saunas
Step 4
Special Micro-Currents may be selected to stimulate the body via the hands and/or feet. This feature is used during a HOCATT™ session. The frequencies are pre-programmed for your convenience. High-Intensity PEMFs (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Fields)* is added to the HOCATT™ session. The HOCATT™ PEMF model has special PEMF coils built into the chamber walls, allowing for a HUGO™ High-Intensity PEMF driver to be connected directly to the HOCATT™.
At the end of each session, the entire volume of steam is extracted into the large-volume activated carbon external charcoal destructor to prevent the release of the steam mixture into the room when the chamber doors are opened.
