Global Infrared Sauna Leader Donates Wellness Package including Infrared Sauna and Two HALO ONE® Salt Therapy Devices after Local Spa’s Act of Gratitude

Carmel, IN — December 4, 2025 — What began as a routine emergency response has transformed into a sweeping show of support for first responders, thanks to a wellness donation from Clearlight®, the global pioneer and industry leader in infrared sauna technology, red light therapy, and wellness solutions for more than 28 years

Earlier this month, the Carmel Fire Department (CFD) responded to a carbon monoxide alarm at Carmel Salt Caves & Spa after staff inadvertently dislodged a pipe connected to a gas heater. Firefighters quickly secured the building and ensured everyone’s safety, which is a reminder of the essential role carbon monoxide detectors play in any home or business using gas appliances.

While on site, firefighters mentioned a long-standing wish: access to an infrared sauna to support muscle recovery, respiratory health, and stress reduction, all of which are benefits increasingly recognized as essential for first responders.

In response, Carmel Salt Caves & Spa immediately donated their Clearlight Infrared Sauna to the Department.

But the story didn’t end there.

When Clearlight learned of the incident and the spa’s donation, the company took swift action to expand the gift beyond anyone’s expectations.

Clearlight is donating a second Clearlight Infrared Sauna to the Carmel Fire Department along with two HALO ONE® Salt Therapy devices, creating a wellness suite to further support the Carmel fire fighters’ respiratory health, muscle recovery, stress relief, and resilience.

“When we learned what happened, we knew immediately that we wanted to be part of giving back,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, Founder of Clearlight. “These firefighters stepped in without any hesitation. Offering them more wellness tools is our way of saying thank you for all you do in the community. Their work is physically and mentally demanding, and we’re committed to supporting their long-term health in every meaningful way we can.”

The additional Clearlight Infrared sauna and HALO ONE devices will broaden CFD’s access to therapeutic tools shown to support:

Improved circulation and muscle recovery
Reduced physiological stress load
Respiratory health through dry salt aerosol therapy
Detoxification support, including removal of heavy metals and environmental toxins

Clearlight has long supported firefighter wellness through a number of initiatives for individual firefighters, crews, as well as conducting scientific research for their long term wellness. UCSF is currently using the Clearlight Curve® Far Infrared Sauna Dome to study detoxification of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, heavy metals, and mycotoxins. Clearlight also offers the Clearlight’s First Responder ID.ME program.

Carmel Salt Caves & Spa, known locally for supporting EMS professionals with free and discounted services, expressed deep gratitude for Clearlight’s amplified gift.

“We were honored to give our infrared sauna to the Carmel Fire Department,” said Dr. Skye Winslow, owner of Carmel Salt Caves & Spa. “Clearlight’s generosity has taken this gesture to a whole new level. Their donation will provide powerful, long-term benefits for the health and recovery of our first responders.”

As part of the announcement, Carmel Salt Caves & Spa encourages all residents to inspect their carbon monoxide detectors and ensure they are properly installed — a simple safety step that prevented a more serious incident.

Fresh off the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2025 World Series victory, catcher Will Smith not only added another ring to his resume, but he’s also doubling down on the recovery strategy that keeps him sharp from spring training to the World Series. As a Clearlight ambassador, Smith credits his Sanctuary 2 Full Spectrum Outdoor Infrared Sauna and Red Light Therapy CORE Tower with helping him maintain strength, speed his recovery, and keep his performance sharp through the entire 162-game grind.

“I use the sauna before I head to the stadium for the day. I think it helps warm my body up and get it ready for everything I do before the game,” said Will. “I broke my hand in early September. I think that the sauna along with a lot of other treatments have helped speed up the recovery process.”

Will, who also uses the CORE Tower, added, “Being consistent with my Clearlight CORE Tower has helped me perform at my best for the entire 162 game MLB season. My recovery day to day has been better, which has kept my strength and energy at a higher capacity than previous years. My performance has been the most consistent it’s ever been thanks to the Clearlight CORE Tower.”

As the offseason begins and athletes like Will move from celebration to recalibration, Clearlight continues to be the wellness teammate chosen by MLB players. Clearlight’s doctor-designed infrared saunas and award-winning, FDA-registered red light therapy towers have become key tools for players focused on:

Recover Like a Pro™: Allowing them to loosen up before games, repair and rebuild muscles, replenish energy stores, and reduce muscle fatigue and inflammation, which is essential after intense physical activity.
Injury Prevention: Increasing circulation and flexibility to remain on the field all season and healthy in the offseason.
Improved Performance: Supporting their general well-being, endurance, mobility, and good mental focus.

In addition to Smith, Clearlight’s growing MLB wellness roster includes: Ian Happ (Chicago Cubs), Manny Machado (San Diego Padres), Alex Verdugo (New York Yankees), and many more. From rookies on the rise to championship veterans, athletes, celebrities, teams, wellness experts, and influencers are using Clearlight’s Sanctuary Infrared Sauna Line and suite of award-winning Red Light Towers as their go-to recovery essentials.

In today’s game, champions aren’t just made by how they play, but how they recover. And self-care is a critical part of the game.
