In the past year, 74% of adults admitted that their stress has reached a point where they felt overwhelmed and unable to cope. Three out of four people have also faced stress-related health problems—from chronic fatigue to persistent headaches.
We recognize that eliminating every stressor from your routine isn’t possible, but that doesn’t mean that you’re out of options.
Saunas have helped people from all walks of life relax—mentally and physically—for centuries. That being said, not all saunas are equal. At IntraVenous Solutions, we’re raising the bar with our state-of-the-art ozone sauna. From naturally boosting your energy and immunity to detoxifying and improving circulation, the benefits go on.
Here’s what to consider on your search for the right sauna in Hendersonville, TN.
The Kinds of Sauna Technologies
More than 2,000 years ago, Finland natives built the first sauna as a sterile bathhouse—consisting of a deep hole in the earth and heated stones. Saunas became a sacred place for men and women of all ages—women even give birth in them thanks to their natural hygienic and recovery benefits.
Since then, technology has evolved—from hot stones to fires to electric waves. Here’s a look at the saunas of today and how each type works.
Wood-Burning Saunas
A traditional wood-burning sauna relies on a stove to produce heat. It takes about an hour for these saunas to reach the ideal temperature for detoxification.
While wood-burning saunas can provide some wellness benefits, it’s important to note that the heating process can also emit harmful byproducts like carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be life-threatening, so proper ventilation is crucial.
Dry Saunas
Wood-burning saunas can be dry saunas, but not all dry saunas are wood-burning. A dry sauna can produce heat through a wood fire, an electric heater, or a gas “stove.”
Dry saunas offer some wellness benefits, but they also pose risks of over-drying your skin and their unpredictable pressure can direct blood flow away from your vital organs. Your blood delivers oxygen to your organs, and without it, they can’t function properly.
Steam Saunas
A steam sauna, otherwise known as a steam room or “wet” sauna, relies on an electric generator to create pressurized steam. Rather than heating the air around you, this kind of sauna boils water to fill the room with hot vapor.
If you opt for a steam sauna in Hendersonville, TN, you’ll unlock benefits that other saunas may not offer, including skin hydration and improved circulation (as steam dilates your blood vessels). This hot steam reduces inflammation across the body and increases your heart rate. That’s why using a steam sauna after exercising helps you burn calories—it prolongs your elevated heart rate.
Infrared Saunas
In the 1970s, Japanese doctors received the first patents for infrared saunas. Unlike dry saunas or steam saunas, infrared technology directly heats your body—not the air around you. Patients who can not use other saunas because of the excessive heat can experience their rejuvenating powers!
Infrared waves penetrate your skin deeply, causing your body to produce more sweat and release more toxins than other traditional sauna methods.
Ozone Saunas
Every cell in your body relies on oxygen—every second of every day.
As you age, your body changes how it uses your oxygen intake, lowering oxygen saturation in your vital tissues. This impairs your cells’ mitochondrial functions—functions that aid energy production—leading to a range of health issues. An ozone sauna delivers medical-grade ozone (made up of three atoms of oxygen—referred to as O3) directly to your bloodstream through your pores, restoring your cells’ most vital resource.
At IntraVenous Solutions, we also offer ozone infusions via IV drips. Typically, we recommend ozone IVs for patients struggling with acute concerns, while those dealing with skin concerns may benefit more from our ozone sauna in Hendersonville, TN. However, everyone’s situation looks different—so here, their treatment plan does, too.
How HOCATT Combines Infrared, Ozone, and Steam Technologies
Unlike other therapies, the HOCATT infrared ozone sauna combines these modalities—and more—to optimize your time, money, and results, making it the ultimate breakthrough in wellness technology.
Experience The Power of 10
Unlike other wellness treatments, HOCATT combines ten science-backed therapies into one. Beyond maximizing your investment and results, our advanced ozone sauna in Hendersonville, TN, improves your whole-body wellness—which is why we do what we do.
1. Transdermal Ozone
In the first 3 minutes of your session, carbonic acid (CA) floods the chamber, releasing ozone gas. This ozone targets and destroys viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungi, and parasites while kick-starting the healing process by stimulating your immune system. Ozone naturally reduces inflammation, providing effective joint pain relief near Nashville.

2. CO2 / Carbonic Acid
As the first step of your HOCATT session, heat from the steam works with carbonic acid (a combination of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) to dilate your blood vessels and enhance circulation. Beyond increasing blood flow, CA also calms your nervous system and acts as a natural fat-dissolving compound.

3. Whole Body Hyperthermia (WBH)
Unlike a traditional sauna, the HOCATT system sends your body into a hyperthermic state where it requires less energy to operate. This boosts your body’s supply of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and enzymes while optimizing mitochondrial function—improving your metabolism and mental clarity on a cellular level.
4. Far Infrared (FIR)
FIR rays gently warm and penetrate your skin’s surface to reach the deepest layers of your skin, targeting joint pain and muscle stiffness at the source. Our state-of-the-art infrared sauna in Hendersonville, TN, uses unique infrared rays to detoxify your body of heavy metals and other environmental toxins—detoxifying your body 7 times more effectively than it can on its own.
5. Steam Sauna
Throughout your session, steam also raises your core temperature by inducing an “artificial fever.” This fever state sends your body into healing mode, naturally boosting hormone and enzyme production. From improving your heart health to reducing your cholesterol, studies have explored steam saunas’ extensive range of benefits.
6. High-Intensity PEMF (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Fields)
If you’re looking to address acute or chronic pain with the HOCATT sauna in Hendersonville, TN, we may recommend incorporating PEMF into your treatment. This drug-free therapy interferes with inflammation while stimulating bone growth by activating and regenerating cells by triggering electrical changes within and around them.
7. Frequency-Specific Microcurrents (FSC)
With over 120 FSC programs to choose from, our line-up offers something for everyone. We use advanced electrode foot pads to stimulate your muscles and speed up cellular regeneration by putting your body into a balanced state of “energetic homeostasis.” This reduces edema—fluid retention—and provides anti-inflammatory benefits without the side effects of drugs.
Note: This is not a suitable option for patients with metal implants.
8. Passive Exercise with Oxygen Breathing
Also known as “exercise with oxygen therapy” (EWOT), passive exercise with oxygen allows your body to build up endurance without inducing bodily stress. Plus, oxygen slows the aging process!
9. Essential Oil Infusions
Essential oils aren’t just great for making your home smell good, but also for boosting your physical and mental well-being! From eliminating toxins to reducing stress, anxiety, and pain, incorporating essential oils into our HOCATT sauna in Hendersonville, TN provides a luxurious experience like no other.
10. Photon Light, Colors, and Ultraviolet Radiation
Studies show that UV exposure can improve your mood, as these rays trigger endorphins—“happy chemicals”—to release. Plus, UVB helps your skin produce vitamin D3, which plays an integral role in the natural healing process.
