Ionic Salt Crystal Lamps – Lamps That Can Change Your Life

Light passing through salt creates large quantities of negative ions. These ions rid the air of bacteria, smoke, dust and pollen. They charge the air with a healthy energy that speeds the healing of wounds and relieves many symptoms of asthma and allergies.

Spend a few moments breathing deeply near a salt lamp and you will feel the difference.

What Are Negative Ions?

They are oxygen atoms that have an extra electron, and they can help you feel better.

Ions are nothing more than atoms or molecules that have gained or lost an electron. Those that have lost an electron through the process of air pollution and other environmental causes are called positive ions, while those that have gained an electron are negatively charged (negative) ions. In unspoiled natural settings, a balance of ions contributes to ones sensations and perceptions in “fresh country air”.

Negative ions, the so-called “good ions” or “happy ions” because of their effect on mood, energy, libido and sense of wellbeing, predominate near waterfalls, on mountain tops and at the seashore, as well as after storms. Negative ions are what we’re after. They can improve sleep, recuperation and all affected areas.

Technically speaking: “Ions are charged particles in the air that are formed in nature when enough energy acts upon a molecule such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, or nitrogen to eject an electron from the molecule leaving a positively charged ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged ion. It is the negative ion of oxygen which affects us the most.”

The quality of the air that we breathe depends on the kind of electrical charge and concentration of the ions. The environment we live in today has far more sources of positive ions than in the past, creating an electrical imbalance in the air. These surplus positive ions are produced by various human activities and electrical appliances. The 21st century places immense stresses on your body. More than ever before you have a real need for a natural and effortless way to enhance your wellbeing. Just as we choose to drink bottled water because of its purity, the quality of the air we breathe is essential to our health and wellbeing.

Health Benefits Of Negative Ions Include:

What Are Positive Ions?

The “airtight” (hermetically sealed) construction of todays homes and offices prevents the electrical nutrients of the outside air from treating the air inside our homes and workplaces. Our modern convenience electrical appliances such as high voltage networks, heating and cooling systems, cell phones, TV’s, radios, transmitters, radar systems, computers, exhausts, fluorescent lighting as well as cigarette smoke etc. produce large quantities of positive ions creating an electrical imbalance in the air and cause the deterioration of our physical and emotional wellbeing. When workplace negative ion concentration is lowered, workers complain of headaches, lethargy, dizziness, nausea, depression and irritability.

Beware of positive ion poisoning!

Along with all the benefits modern technology has provided, unfortunately the 20th century industrial environment has drastically upset the ion levels and the natural electrical quality of the air. While very few human activities add the beneficial small negative ions to the atmosphere, many practices increase the levels of positive ions. Positive ions are also produced by combustion, by electrical apparatus and by synthetic materials and fabrics – all of which are extensively used in urban societies. And outdoor air quality, while important, is not the major issue. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that average people spend 80-90% of their lives indoors, where the air is usually worse. Most indoor time is typically spent in relatively tightly sealed “energy efficient” buildings, where many pollutants – both gases and particulates – become concentrated and reach their highest levels. It is also indoors – including inside cars, trucks, airplanes, etc. – where, as Albert Krueger, MD (the late UC Berkley researcher and founder of the Air Ion Research laboratory) argued, most individuals are exposed to either ion depletion of a condition called “positive ion poisoning”. The problem is further compounded by central heating and cooling systems and by the effect of people crowded together and breathing in confined spaces.

Health Performance And Effects

Although ionic crystal lamps are not “medical devices”, they produce negative ions which work to significantly improve physical and mental health. Negative ions are well proven to provide relief from sinus problems, migraine headaches, allergies and hay fever, reduce the severity of asthma attacks, enhance immune system function, increase alertness, work productivity and concentration, as well as lung capacity and reduce our susceptibility to colds and flu. We absorb about 68% of our energy through the air that we breathe. That’s more energy than we get from the food we eat or the water we drink. A negative ion generating Ionic Crystal Salt Lamp is an easy step towards a cleaner indoor environment.
Negative ions substantially reduce airborne pollutants and are highly effective in eliminating airborne bacteria. Dr Albert P. Krueger, a pathologist at the University of California found that an astonishingly small quantity of negative ions kills many bacteria and quickly removes them from the air.

Doctors Have Recommended Salt Lamps In The Treatment Of Many Diseases Including:

In the body, negative ions increase our capacity to take up oxygen and enhance the ability of the respiratory tract to deal with airborne particles – allergens, dust, smoke etc. Histamine, which triggers hay fever, is reduced by negative ions, which also have a beneficial effect on anyone suffering from bronchial complaints such as bronchitis, asthma, catarrh and the common cold.

Even Though Salt Lamps Are Not A ‘Medical Device’, They May:

Where Does This Salt Come From?

The lamps are made from salt that was formed 250 million years ago in the Himalayan Mountains. There are actually spas located deep in the salt mines to take advantage of the health-giving qualities of the high saturation of negative ions. The geographical location of the mine provides the unique mineral content that creates the inherent beautiful colour of the salt rock crystals in shades and hues of coral and melon. No such colour can be found in any existing gemstone. Each piece is a natural sculpture.
