Rash from sauna

smiles

Hello, has anyone experienced a rash after having a HOCATT ozone sauna session? I had my first session, they set the dial to either 40 or 50
for the ozone, and 2-3 days later I got a rash on my face, chest, and back of neck. I was told that it was probably due to too high of a setting and/or my body was getting rid of toxins. I’ve read a few things since about this being a probable cause. This first happened back in March, about 6 months ago, and the rash lasted about a week. Now since that incident, I have had 3 allergic reactions to something causing a rash. But these rashes presented differently than the post sauna rash. I typically haven’t had many chemical sensitivities through out my life. Then having 3 over the past 5 months just seemed kind of odd to me. One of them I’m pretty sure I know what caused it but the other two I’m still wondering about. Now, can a person develop more chemical sensitivities after having a ozone treatment/sauna? The md office told me that next time they will use a lower ozone setting to try to avoid the reaction, but I’m kind of reluctant to try Incase I have a worse reaction to it. If there’s any insight to rashes and ozone please share with me.

Hi smiles,
rashes are not uncommon after ozone saunas. Yes, it's believed that this is a detox reaction. I speculate it could have also to do with oxalate dumping.
The allergic reactions post ozone sauna are strange - I've never heard about that happening.

Is a sauna the best way to detox oxalates? I seem to have crystals that hover just under the surface of my skin for several months before they work themselves out (like a splinter). Thanks! Teressa

Herotohealth Hi Teressa,
I think the ozone sauna could be the best way to detox oxalates through the skin.
If in your case they're already coming out through the skin, then the sauna may give them that extra push to speed the process up.
I think drinking ozonated water could be also helpful with oxalates.

I used a steam sauna tent from Amazon that's more affordable instead of HOCATT. Since it arrived last Wednesday 8/12. I used it for 2 days, 1-day rest and then 2 more days, 20 minutes each. After the 2nd session, my neck and my balls started itching and rashes appeared. After the last night's session, my chest and upper arm are itching, and a lot of rashes on my chest. Not all raches are itching. I just use a silicone hose to connect the ozone generator to the sauna tent. I run it at 1/4 LPM (33 gama) first 3 nights and 1/2 LPM (17 gama) last night.

My question is that will the rash and itching go away, how many sessions? I experience itching in my ears when I do Ear Insufflation and also itching in my anal area when I use ozonated olive oil.

bernie Hi bernie,
it can take a while, weeks or months, for the rash to subside.
I would dial it down even more than 17 gamma, if that's possible, and also do the saunas 2x/week or 1x/week. Otherwise the rash can become much much worse and much itchier. Going on a low oxalate diet may also help.

bernie the rashes I had lasted about a week, they didn’t itch too bad thankfully, but I had them on my stomach, neck, back of neck/head, and face. It’s appearance was small red bumps. This seemed a little strange to me at first bc in a HOCATT sauna, your head is out side of the ozone chamber. Good luck

Paola thank you Paola! I’ve been drinking the water and I just got my portable sauna. I plan to start using it soon!
