At Body English, we care deeply about protecting the people who protect us. Firefighters, both structural and wildland, face unique health risks on the job, including exposure to dangerous toxins like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and fine particulate matter released during a fire. These chemicals can linger in the body even after washing and decontamination, increasing the risk of long-term health issues.
The Research:
New research is shining a light on how infrared sauna therapy can be a powerful tool for both structural and wildland firefighters. Studies show that regular infrared sauna sessions can help:
- Reduce PAH levels in the body through deep sweating
- Support detoxification by mobilizing fat-stored toxins
- Improve circulation and recovery after physically demanding shifts or multi-day wildfire deployments
- Support respiratory health and relaxation, helping the body recover after long exposures to smoke
Unlike traditional saunas, full-spectrum infrared saunas penetrate deeper into the skin, which may enhance the body’s ability to sweat out contaminants more effectively.
Our Commitment to Local Firefighters:
With both urban structure fires and wildfire seasons placing growing demands on first responders, we recognize the incredible efforts of every firefighter—from city departments to Cal Fire crews and wildland teams.
