Ozone is a powerful, natural purifier and is responsible for the clean, fresh scent that lingers in the air after a thunderstorm. It is a gas made of three oxygen atoms that naturally occurs in the upper atmosphere, where it acts like a natural sunscreen for the planet, and has been used since the 1850s as a disinfectant.
With the growing demand for natural health and wellness modalities, extensive research has been conducted on the use of ozone. It is now proven that ozone therapies are safe and viable options for promoting overall whole-body wellness and vitality. Many integrative and functional medicine doctors as well as bio-hacker influencers, holistic practitioners, and general wellness enthusiasts are now discovering this powerful potential of this little molecule.
Ozone Therapy may:
At Radiance Health Center we use the award-winning Longevity system ozone generator, which is world renowned for its adherence to purity, precision and quality. Longevity has been making ozone equipment since 1995, and has been used at NASA and MIT. Their equipment delivers the highest level of control and accuracy when it comes to ozone concentration.
You can rest assured that, when you receive an ozone treatment from us, you are getting a very precise amount of ozone, free from contaminants, so you can completely relax knowing you’re completely safe as you unlock a new level of health.
“Ozone therapy is not an alternative medicine new guy on the block. In fact, one of the most attractive aspects regarding the medical use of ozone is its remarkably long history in the world of medicine.”

Reap The Maximum Benefits with Two Therapies in One
Infuse your skin with ozone in our state-of-the-art ozone steam sauna.
Under normal circumstances, ozone has difficulty penetrating the skin. However, combining it with a steam sauna helps open your pores, improving ozone absorption into the deeper lipid layer, bloodstream, and lymph system. In the ozone sauna, you receive all the benefits of ozone in addition to the ancient benefits of a sauna therapy such as improved circulation, refreshed skin, reduced congestion, detoxification and relaxed muscles.
A Cleansing And Refreshing Experience:
In large quantities, yes, Ozone is dangerous. However, Ozone gas has been intensely studied for over a century, and small amounts of it have consistently been proven to be not just safe for use, but beneficial to your overall health.
Negative perceptions of ozone often stem from hearing about ozone smog in cities like Los Angeles. Ozone is a byproduct of the chemical reaction that creates this smog, and as such serves as a measure for how much pollution is in the air. This scale does not reflect the incredible health benefits of ozone therapy and medical grade ozone.
Rectal Insufflations target the colon and bloodstream by slowly administering ozone through the rectum. It is also the fastest way to get ozone into your bloodstream (through the hemorrhoidal vein), second to IV blood infusion including the 10-pass technique.
You often see rectal insufflations administered after a colonic or enema when the colon is clean. There are many integrative wellness centers around the world that use ozone rectally as a normal and safe part of their protocol.
Due to state laws and regulations, we do not offer rectal insufflations.
Ozone Therapy is a safe and effective treatment, however those who are pregnant, have COPD or other respiratory conditions, have organ transplants, or are severely immunocompromised are contraindicated and should not receive ozone therapy.
The following eligibility criteria also apply to ozone therapy:
Please consult your physician if you have any questions about the suitability of the ozone sauna or ozone therapies related to your specific health needs.
Ozone therapy has been proven to be safe and effective, with minimal, temporary side effects.
These temporary side-effects may include:
Ozone allergies are rare, but do exist and typically present with a rash. If you experience a rash or severe die-off/detox symptoms please halt treatments immediately.
The key difference is that, while both ozone saunas and infrared saunas have powerful health benefits, such as stimulating the immune system and activating your body’s natural healing pathways, Ozone saunas are steam/wet saunas with the main intention to infuse the skin and body with ozone.
While your skin and pores are hydrated and open, ozone infuses with the layers of the dermis and triggers systemic ozone-related benefits including increasing whole-body antioxidants, tissue oxygenation, boosting the immune system, and more.
Infrared saunas are dry saunas where an infrared heat permeates your body and warms it from inside out.
There are similar heat-induced benefits as both are sauna experiences, but the ozone sauna is specifically designed, through the action of wet heat, to deliver the powerful benefits of ozone into your body. It is the dual-action of both a sauna and ozone, in one treatment.
This depends on your personal health and wellness goals. However, we have found that 5-10 sessions in the beginning of your ozone journey is very beneficial as the benefits are accumulative. Most clients start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, with adherence to how you are feeling from session to session.
You may see some black or grey spots or residue on your towel after a session — that is perfectly normal. We want to see this! This discharge is created by your body expelling cellular debris during the sauna, and is a positive sign that the sauna has opened your body’s natural drainage pathways. A few clinics have done tests on these towels and results found heavy metals were present on these spots.
That will depend on your individual tolerance and level of fear, but we want to reassure you that at Radiance Health Center you are never alone. You will be able to call for an attendant and can leave the sauna at any time should you become overwhelmed.
The sauna itself is located in a large room which can trick the senses, and your head and neck remain free during treatment. Most clients with claustrophobia find the experience to be much easier than expected.
It is not dangerous. A very slight smell of ozone in the air is normal in an ozone sauna establishment. The big concern is direct inhalation of ozone into your lungs, which can cause irritation. There is no way that this will happen as we take direct measures to keep you safe, including constant monitoring and checking in on you during your session. We also keep fans blowing on you at all times. Since ozone is such an unstable molecule, it turns back into oxygen very quickly, and fans help speed up this conversion, further reducing the risk of ozone inhalation.
If by chance you are concerned with any ozone smell during your sauna, or during insufflations, please bring this to the attention of your attendant. Also, during your sauna, you will be advised to hold your breath when you open the doors at the end, allowing for the powerful fan to disperse the ozone steam.
