Himalayan Salt Lamps and Ionization

Have you ever noticed how fresh the air feels after a thunderstorm?  Wonder why you feel so much better breathing the mountain air or standing alongside a waterfall?  This is due to the ratio of negative to positive ions in these surroundings.

Today's conveniences, such as computers, televisions, fluorescent lamps, air conditioners, heaters and microwave ovens, emit an abundance of positive ions.  Research has shown that high levels of positive ions make us feel tired, depressed or irritable.  Salt crystals naturally emit negative ions allowing air particles to achieve an optimal ionic balance.  Negative ion emissions are increased when the salt is heated, hence the invention of Himalayan Salt Lamps .

Due to the unique, air purifying ability of Himalayan Salt, Europeans have long believed in the usefulness of Rock Salt Lamps for the treatment of a variety of illnesses including asthma, allergies, rheumatism, high blood pressure and migraine headaches.  These lamps are particularly beneficial as desk lamps and night lights. 

All Salt Crystal Lamps have a limited range of effectiveness and are only of use in the room in which they are placed.  The larger the surface area of the lamp, the greater the output of negative ions, however negative ion output drops off dramatically within a few feet of the lamp regardless of its size and ion output.  As a result, if it is ionization you are looking for, you may prefer to have a few salt lamps placed strategically within a room rather than one excessively large lamp.

Apart from ionization, illuminated Salt produces a pleasant, relaxing glow.  Many reiki and yoga practitioners now use Himalayan Salt Lamps in their studios to promote tranquility, peace and general well-being.

Himalayan Salt Bath Products

Himalayan Salt Crystals  are one of the most profound re-discoveries of our time.  For centuries, the energy/information content in the form of vital mineral elements locked away within these perfectly formed crystals of mineral rich salt were utilized by doctors for treating most every disorder known to humans, and with unfailing success.*

Himalayan Salt Crystals  have a much higher mineral content than Dead Sea Salt.  Locked within the crystals are the same 84 minerals as found in the blood.   Unlike regular salt, it can be easily absorbed and metabolized by your body.  A Himalayan Salt bath will support the natural regeneration of the skin, leaving it feeling nourished, soft and well-balanced.

Europeans have long believed in the benefit of Himalayan salt to detoxify, neutralize skin impurities, relieve sore muscles and lift your spirits.
