Understanding the Impact of Smoke from Forest FiresSmoke from forest fires contains harmful particles and gases, including:

• Particulate Matter (PM2.5): Tiny particles that penetrate deep into the lungs, causing inflammation and reducing lung function.
• Carbon Monoxide: A colorless, odorless gas that impairs oxygen delivery throughout the body.
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Chemicals that irritate the respiratory system.
• Acrolein: A toxic substance that damages the lungs and respiratory tract.

These elements can lead to bronchitis, exacerbated asthma, reduced lung function, and an increased risk of respiratory infections. But don’t worry — Monarch has you covered with state-of-the-art solutions to help you breathe easier and feel better.

​Halo Salt Therapy: A Breath of Fresh Air

Halo salt therapy, or halotherapy, is a delightful and relaxing way to cleanse your lungs and boost your overall health. Here’s how it works:
​

• Mucolytic Effect: The microparticulized salt acts as a natural expectorant, thinning and loosening mucus in the respiratory tract. This helps clear the airways of smoke particulates and pollutants.
• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Salt’s natural anti-inflammatory properties reduce inflammation in the bronchial tubes and alveoli, alleviating coughing and breathing difficulties.
• Antibacterial and Antimicrobial Effects: Inhalation of salt particles helps reduce harmful bacteria and pathogens in the respiratory system, decreasing the risk of infections.
• Improved Respiratory Function: Clearing mucus, reducing inflammation, and combating infections enhance overall respiratory function, improving oxygen exchange and lung capacity.
• Enhanced Immune Response: The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of salt bolster the immune system, helping your body fight off respiratory infections.

Infrared Sauna: Warming Your Way to Better Health
Our infrared sauna is another fantastic tool for recovery and wellness. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, the infrared sauna heats your body directly, offering several benefits:
​

• Detoxification: Infrared heat promotes sweating, which helps expel toxins and smoke particulates from your body.
• Improved Circulation: The heat penetrates deeply into muscles and tissues, enhancing blood flow and delivering more oxygen and nutrients to cells, vital for respiratory and cardiovascular health.
• Reduced Inflammation: Infrared therapy reduces inflammation in the lungs and throughout the body, aiding recovery from smoke inhalation.
• Enhanced Lung Function: By improving circulation and reducing inflammation, the infrared sauna supports better lung function and oxygenation, essential for overall health and energy.

General Tips for Using the Breath to Navigate Fire Season

• Stay Indoors: During high smoke days, limit outdoor activities to reduce exposure to harmful particles.
• Use Air Purifiers: Keep indoor air clean with HEPA air purifiers.
• Practice Deep Breathing: Engage in deep breathing exercises to enhance lung capacity and reduce stress.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body expel toxins.
• Monitor Air Quality: Use apps and websites to stay informed about air quality levels in your area.
