What if you can precondition your body to knock out germs before they can establish in your system?
What if you can do that preconditioning by pampering yourself in the relaxing comfort of the Hocatt?
How does ozone, absorbed through the skin into the blood stream as you relax in the warm relaxing comfort of the Hocatt, boost your immune system in the fight against germs?
Ozone causes a mild stress to the body which prompts it to increase the production of white blood cells which identify germs and launch an attack against them. The type of white blood cells known as neutrophils wrap around pathogenic bacteria, engulfing them. Once entrapped, the neutrophil releases packets of hydrogen peroxide that destroy the bacteria.
Another type of white blood cells the lymphocytes, make up a significant portion of the immune system. The T cell division of the lymphocytes include:
- Cytotoxic lymphocytes destroy germs by releasing chemicals that destroy them.
- Helper T cells send out messages, to call in other immune cells, and proteins to help fight an infection.
- Regulatory T cells put a brake on the immune response so it doesn’t become so over-reactive that it damages the body.
The B cell division of the lymphocytes govern the antibody response to an infection:
- Plasma cells produce antibodies during an active infection that connect to the germ and inactivate it so the rest of the immune system can eliminate it from the body and stop any reproduction of that germ.
- Memory B cells reside in lymph nodes where they remember a previous infection and can rapidly release the memorized antibody to inactivate and clear germs before they can become established in the tissues and start reproducing themselves.
So, can you see the benefits of increasing your army of white blood cells to be at attention to quickly subdue a germ invasion that you are exposed to?
Be ready before the flu/cold season gets here. Boost your immune system now with relaxing, pampering sessions in the Hocatt (ozone sauna) and Hugo.
