HOCATT Sauna Therapy
When your body is already carrying a heavy load—treatment side effects, lingering fatigue, inflammation that won’t settle, or a sense that your systems just aren’t bouncing back—adding more stress isn’t the answer. Support needs to be effective, but it also needs to be gentle.
The HOCATT™ Sauna is a medically engineered system that combines controlled warmth, oxygen-based therapies, and circulation support to help the body do what it’s often struggling to do on its own: clear metabolic waste, support immune signaling, improve blood flow, and restore energy at a cellular level.
What Makes the HOCATT Different
HOCATT stands for Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy.
It combines several therapeutic inputs into one coordinated session, each working through a different physiologic pathway.
The HOCATT combines TEN therapeutic modalities:
Ozone Therapy
CO₂ (Carbonic Acid) Therapy
PEMF Therapy
Electrotherapy
Exercise + Oxygen Therapy
Whole Body Hyperthermia
Ultrasonic Cavitation
Photon Light Therapy
Far Infrared Therapy
Aroma Therapy
How HOCATT Therapy Works in the Body
Oxygenation & Circulatory Support
Supports how oxygen and blood move through the body, which is foundational for cellular health and tissue repair.
Improves circulation and tissue perfusion
Supports efficient oxygen delivery at the cellular level
Encourages healthier blood flow to stressed or inflamed tissues
Helps reduce circulatory sluggishness often seen with illness or fatigue
Includes: Ozone Therapy, CO₂ (Carbonic Acid) Therapy, Exercise + Oxygen Therapy
Detoxification & Metabolic Activation
Encourages the body’s natural detox processes while gently increasing metabolic activity.
Stimulates sweating to support toxin elimination
Enhances lymphatic movement and waste clearance
Supports metabolic activity and energy production
Helps the body process byproducts of inflammation or treatment
Includes: Far Infrared Therapy, Whole Body Hyperthermia, Ultrasonic Cavitation
Nervous System & Bioenergetic Regulation
Helps regulate communication within the nervous system and supports balance rather than overstimulation.
Supports nervous system regulation and stress response
Encourages healthy cellular signaling
May help improve tolerance to physical and emotional stress
Supports restoration of physiologic balance
Includes: PEMF Therapy, Electrotherapy, Photon Light Therapy
Sensory & Relaxation Support
Supports comfort and relaxation, which can enhance the body’s ability to integrate therapeutic effects.
Promotes relaxation and nervous system calming

How CIOFM Uses HOCATT Therapy in Cancer Care
Cancer treatment places extraordinary demand on the body. Between the disease itself and conventional therapies, patients often experience:
Immune suppression or immune confusion
Impaired detox pathways
Poor circulation and oxygen delivery
Fatigue that doesn’t resolve with rest
The HOCATT is a terrain-supporting therapy—used to strengthen the internal environment in which healing happens.
When appropriate, HOCATT sessions may help:
Support immune readiness and recovery
Improve treatment tolerance
Enhance lymphatic and circulatory flow
Reduce symptom burden such as fatigue, heaviness, or brain fog
Every recommendation is made within the context of the patient’s diagnosis, treatment phase, and overall plan of care.
Protocols often include an induction phase of approximately ten sessions during the first month, followed by continued maintenance sessions based on tolerance, response, and clinical goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
HOCATT stands for Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy. It’s a medically engineered sauna system that combines controlled heat with oxygen-based therapies to support circulation, detoxification, immune signaling, and metabolic function. Unlike traditional saunas, the HOCATT is designed for therapeutic use and clinical monitoring.
-
Most people describe the experience as deeply warming and calming, not intense or overwhelming. The heat builds gradually, and your head remains outside the chamber, which helps prevent the “stuffy” feeling some people associate with saunas. Many patients feel relaxed during the session and pleasantly tired afterward.
-
No. Ozone is delivered transdermally (through the skin), not inhaled. Your head stays outside the chamber and you breathe ambient or oxygen-enriched air throughout the session.
-
Sessions typically last 30 minutes, though timing may vary based on tolerance, goals, and where you are in your care.
-
Basic preparation usually includes:
Being well hydrated
Avoiding heavy meals right before your session
Wearing minimal clothing or clinic-provided attire
Your care team will guide you on hydration, minerals, and any individualized considerations.
-
Responses vary. Some people feel:
Relaxed or calm
Light or clear-headed
Mildly fatigued
Warm for a short period afterward
It’s also normal to feel more tired later in the day as your body processes the effects. Hydration after your session is important.
-
There’s no universal number. Some people use HOCATT occasionally, while others schedule a series of sessions over several weeks. Frequency and duration depend on your goals, overall health, and how your body responds.
-
No. HOCATT does not replace oncology care, medications, or other prescribed therapies. It is used to support the body alongside a broader plan of care.
-
No. While HOCATT is commonly used in integrative oncology care, it’s also used by individuals focused on recovery, detoxification, immune support, stress regulation, and general wellness.
-
Most people do sweat, though the amount varies. Sweating is one of the ways the body supports detoxification, but the therapy is not solely about sweating.
