Support Detox, Recovery, and Balance with Ozone Therapy
At Internal Healing & Wellness MD in The Woodlands, TX, we offer Ozone Therapy (O3ZONE) as a gentle, transdermal sauna treatment designed to support detoxification, energy balance, and recovery. Sometimes called Activated Oxygen Therapy, this method works at the cellular level to help oxygenate, detoxify, and support natural recovery processes. Each 25-minute session combines oxygen and ozone in a steam sauna environment, providing a natural complement to your overall wellness routine.

What Is Ozone Therapy (O3ZONE)?
Ozone Therapy is a wellness treatment that uses a carefully balanced blend of oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3) in a steam sauna. During the session, the warm steam opens your pores while the ozone–oxygen mix is absorbed through the skin. This transdermal process is designed to support natural detoxification, help the body maintain balance, and leave you feeling refreshed.
Originally identified in 1840 by German chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein, ozone has been used in various wellness practices in Europe and beyond for over a century. Today, ozone sauna therapy is used around the world to support circulation, oxygenation, and overall wellness. At Internal Healing & Wellness MD, we offer O3ZONE as an adjunctive service to complement your overall health routine in a safe, non-invasive way.
Simple 3-Step Process
Our Ozone Therapy sessions follow a simple three-step process:
- Warm Sauna Preparation: Enter the comfortable steam sauna to open pores and prepare the body.
- O2/O3 Infusion: Ozone-oxygen mixture is gently introduced into the sauna environment.
- 25-Min Session: Relax as the blend is absorbed transdermally for a refreshing experience.
Because ozone therapy is cumulative, benefits often build gradually over several weeks of consistent sessions.
How It Works
Ozone Therapy works by introducing activated oxygen (ozone) into the body via the skin in a controlled steam sauna setting. This process supports natural oxidation and homeostasis, helping the body maintain balance in a subtle way. Our sessions emphasize "less is more," delivering potent benefits in short, 25-minute durations.
During the session, you'll sit comfortably in the sauna heated to approximately 103–112°F, with steam and the ozone-oxygen blend creating a relaxing atmosphere. Wear a bathing suit or minimal clothing for optimal absorption. Many describe the experience as soothing and invigorating, similar to a spa steam treatment, with gentle warmth and a fresh, clean sensation.
Potential Benefits
Ozone Therapy may offer a range of wellness supports, based on anecdotal reports and general observations. These include:
- Cellular Detox & Purification: Support cleansing of the blood, lymphatic system, and fat tissue, where many toxins are stored.
- Enhanced Circulation & Oxygenation: Helps promote oxygen delivery to cells and supports the body’s natural energy production (ATP cycle).
- Immune System Support: Encourage white blood cell activity and assist the body in maintaining a balanced immune response.
- Calorie Burn & Metabolism Boost: Reports suggest ozone sauna sessions can help burn 300–600 calories while supporting natural metabolic function.
- Muscle & Joint Relaxation: The combination of moist heat and ozone may ease soreness, reduce tension, and support faster recovery.
Did You Know? Powerful Facts About Ozone
Ozone is more than just a fresh, clean-smelling gas after a thunderstorm, it’s one of nature’s most powerful oxidizing agents. In wellness settings, this unique property is what makes ozone so effective when used in steam sauna therapy.
- High Oxidative Power: A single molecule of ozone has the oxidative strength of 3,000–10,000 molecules of chlorine.
- Rapid Action : Ozone can neutralize bacteria, fungi, yeast, mold, and viruses in seconds, working 3,500 times faster than chlorine.
- Natural Support : This fast-acting property is why ozone has been studied and applied in wellness practices around the world for over a century.
At Internal Healing & Wellness MD, O3ZONE sauna sessions harness these natural properties in a safe, gentle, and non-invasive way to support your body’s balance and recovery.
Preparing for Your Ozone Therapy Session
Before Your Session
- Drink at least 2 glasses of water 30 minutes before.
- Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours.
- Refrain from eating heavy meals within 30 minutes.
- Expect to sweat — light or no clothing is recommended for optimal absorption.
During Your Session
- You’ll sit in a personal steam sauna heated to 103–112°F.
- The ozone–oxygen blend circulates while your pores open, allowing absorption.
- Most people find the experience relaxing and similar to a spa steam treatment.
Aftercare and Recovery Tips
After your initial O3ZONE session, many report a heightened sense of well-being, increased energy, and better sleep that night. You might feel refreshed, as if you've had a deep detox.
To maximize the experience:
- Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water before and after to support your body's natural processes.
- Avoid heavy meals or strenuous activity immediately following; opt for light movement or rest.
- Frequency of sessions is personalized; we recommend discussing with your therapist after your first visit to tailor a plan.
If you notice any mild effects like temporary fatigue, this is often part of the adjustment and typically resolves quickly.
