Salt Lamps and The Benefits of Negative Ions

We have become quite dependent on electric devices in our world today. They have made life easier for us at work, at play, in our offices and in our homes. Computer terminals, fluorescent lighting, forced air ventilation systems, and modern building materials generate an over abundance of positive ions. Many people do not realize that they are also a source of very harmful positive ions, often called electric smog.

Electric smog deteriorates the condition of air, which hazardously affects our physical and emotional state.

You may have experienced the power of negative ions when you were on the beach, walked beneath a waterfall or walked in the pine forest. The air circulating in the mountains and the beach is said to contain tens of thousands of negative ions. We can also experience this immediately after a spring thunderstorm.

Crystal Salt Lamps emit negative ions. They are natural air ionizers that boost negative ions in the air. The negatively charged ions are created by heating the lamp.

This is how it works:

• The heated Salt Lamp pulls water molecules from the air to its surface
• The salt mixes with the water molecules
  
• This results in the neutralization of positive ions (and the attached pollution)
  
• The neutralized molecules are emitted back into the environment.

Scientific studies show that Crystal Salt Lamps can increase the negative ions count up to 300%. Many people in Europe and Australia are aware of the benefits of negative ions to good health. These negative ions are actually essential for our health and well being.

Crystal Salt Lamps are a beautiful, maintenance free, natural alternative from Mother Nature to improve air quality. With time, your Salt Lamps will not reduce in size, color or shape, and will not lose weight, or their ionizing effect!

Negative Ions are beneficial to

• Strengthen the functions of autonomic nerves.

• Reinforce collagen (tissues that are resilient and tension-related).

• Improve the permeability of the cell's prototype plasma membranes (improves metabolism).

• Strengthen the body's immune system.

• Clean the air of dust, molds, bacteria, soot, pollen and household odors.

• People with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) which causes depression by regulating hormone levels.

• Help relieve tension and improve sleep.

• Help remove the airborne pollutants below, therefore those with asthma which is triggered by pollutants.

Table for choosing Crystal Salt Lamp size

Remember --

Negative ions are essential for our health and well being. The freshness of the air after a thunderstorm, on a mountaintop, or by the seaside, is due to the high concentration of negative ions in the air. A lack of these ions produces a feeling of reduced well being such as is often felt in areas of high pollution or artificially air conditioned offices.

The benefits of ionising are well-known. Negative ions clean the air of:

-odors -pet dander -dust -dust mites -pollen -mold spores -smoke - allergens
