Ozone Spa Baths: Ultrasonic Waves & Activated Oxygen

Knowledge is power: But only as powerful as the mind which grasps it,
the heart which believes in it, and the hands which wield it.

This document explores the use of ultrasonic wave forms and activated oxygen ( ozone ) for use in hydrotherapy and balneotherapy.

Ultrasonic Ozone Spa Therapy

One of the most amazing ozone therapy devices we are currently testing is the portable ozone ultrasonic spa. This device, which easily fits into a standard or japanese style bath tub, is an excellent addition to hydrotherapy, balneotherapy, and ozone therapy protocols. In fact, we believe that every hydrotherapy center, hot springs resort, and spa facility should employ these units for the great benefit of their patrons.

Our co-researchers have enjoyed testing this device so much the author has had extreme scheduling problems trying to fit everyone in.

As an addition to recuperative and rehabilitation therapy for individuals recovering from sports injuries, back injuries, spinal injuries, muscle and tendon problems, the ultrasonic ozone spa is nothing short of miraculous. Muscle tension and stress is released from the body from the very first 30 minute session. Users report an increase in lucidity and mental clarity. Mobility and range of motion are quickly increased with those who experience generalized chronic neck, shoulder and back muscle tension.

Skin problems begin to resolve within a few weeks, provided that the ph of the soft tissues is maintained through correct diet, and any dehdyration issues have been resolved. Users describe that they have never before felt as "clean" as after using the spa; even those very familiar with other forms of balneotherapy.

While the ozone spa is not a replacement for medically managed rehabilitation of muscle, spinal, and other structural damage to the body, this device may offer hope to those suffering from chronic pain and degenerative "structural" conditions, through long term and daily use of the ultrasonic ozone spa.

Ultrasonic Waves

Ultrasonic waves are produced by pumping air through a special mat that sits on the bottom of the spa tub. The pressurized air is forced through chambers in the mat which are lined with 300 tiny holes. The end effect? Thousands of air bubbles are forced out through the mat. As the bubbles cascade and collide with each other, hundreds of thousands tiny bubbles are produced. The effect is similiar to that of a waterfall: Naturally produced ultrasonic wave forms that penetrate deeply into the body, from 60,000 ~ 100,000 Hz, including far infrared wave forms ( FIR ).

Via resonant adsorption, the lymphatic system is stimulated from the inside out. It takes roughly 10 minutes for the ultrasonic therapy to penetrate fully into the bones. The result is a gentle heating from the inside out which produces an enhanced detoxification effect which we have demonstrated and verified through experimentation. Detoxification is not dependent upon actual heat therapy, but water temperature warm enough to open pores may provide an enhanced effect.

Because the ultrasonic wave forms are produced with kenetic energy, a full deep tissue massage effect is present. 30 minutes of therapy is equivalent to jogging 6 km, although with the added benefit of each and every muscle receiving stimulation.

Due to the muscle stimulation, 300 to 400 calories are actually burned for every 15 minutes of therapy. Due to the resonant adsorption with lymphatic system stimulation, the body's natural thirst mechanism is often quickly reactivated, giving an individual an opportunity to correctly rehydrate the body with quality water.

Ozone

A seperate silicon hose is provided, which feeds ozone into the bath through an attached wide-faced diffuser. The concentration of ozone is below the true medical/therapuetic 5%, entering the bath at about 3%. The ozone works immediately in redox reactions, oxidizing dead skin and other waste products, while at the same time producing an abundance of "activated oxygen", O-, simple peroxides, and organic peroxides.

The ozone is turned on while the bath is filled with water, in order to help saturate the water with ozone prior to entering the bath. Combining the ozone with the ultrasonic waves provides greatly enhanced skin detoxification, even when compared with ozone steam sauna therapy.

Feeding the ozone through the bath water provides an enhanced effect of creating an abundance of negative ions in the air ( as compared with ozone actually fed directly into the air, where ratio of ambient ozone to negative ions will be less ), which creates a very pleasant and healthy atomosphere. Upon turning the spa unit on, 20,000-30,000 negatively charged ions have been measured directly above the turbulent water.

The combined effect of the ozone and ultrasonic energy provides a therapuetic spa experience superior to hot springs therapy and other forms of balneotherapy. Combined with other forms of hydrotherapy, the experience is enhanced ( including discliplines such as pelotherapy and aromatherapy ).
