Far Infrared Detoxification

Benefits for the most dangerous of occupations

Helping firefighters keep healthy and safe from long term effects of harmful toxins
Whether a fire burns a home, business, automobile, or even a forest, harmful toxins pollute the air as certain items burn. Firefighters are exposed to many of these chemicals despite their protective gear and masks. Even after a fire has been extinguished, potentially cancer-causing chemicals may be released into the air through smoldering plastics, paints, glue, wraps, and other building materials. A few dangerous chemicals that may be released include hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide and hydrochloric acid.

Sun Life Saunas decided to take the usual relaxing and rejuvenating benefits of saunas to the next level with revolutionary far infrared sauna heat therapy along with Carbon Wave 360 technology. But relaxation isn't the only goal when it comes to firefighters. The company also promotes detoxification of the body as a major benefit for firefighters.

Smoke inhalation and chemicals absorbed through the skin can cause many long-term health problems. According to a study by the University of Cincinnati, firefighters are more likely to develop testicular cancer, prostate cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Detoxification helps remove these toxins before they cause serious illness. Increasing the core temperature through infrared sauna therapy sessions may also reduce the presence of cancer causing cells since they are not as tolerant to heat as normal healthy cells.

Jim Montana, co-founder of Sun Life Saunas, states, "Since firefighters are continuously exposed to harmful toxins, it's pertinent that the toxins are removed from their bodies on a regular basis. Frequent sauna sessions with the new infrared technology penetrates deep to remove toxins that are stored in fat cells. Special pricing is available for firefighters. We want to make it easy for firefighters to own their own sauna so they can receive this needful therapy every day."

Sauna sessions can also help relieve firefighters of muscle aches and pains that come from working under strenuous conditions while carrying the weight of protective gear and clothing.

"Another benefit we're seeing is the sauna helps increase collateral circulation of blood vessels, which can reduce or lower blood pressure. This is a significant benefit for firefighters because heart attacks are so prevalent among those in this profession," states Lorraine Montana, co-founder of the company.
