Heat Therapy — Infrared Sauna
Hormetic heat stress → heat shock proteins (HSP70/HSP90) → protein repair. Cellular cleanup.
- Hawkins Gate: 100+
- Octon Resonance: Octon 1 (Safety), Octon 6 (Love)
- Mechanism: HSP activation, NRF2 pathway, mitochondrial biogenesis
- ⚠️ TCM Warning: TCM Constitutional Override applies. Summer births (Fire excess constitution) may worsen despite high Octon Map scores.
Clinical Application
Gilli Dahoo is the precedent: high Octon Map score (5.08) for sauna, but daily sauna caused pain and fatigue due to Fire excess constitution. Algorithm scores never override patient-reported adverse experience.
