Salt
Crystal Lamps: Natural, Ionic Home Enhancement
Indoor Air and the Home
Himalayan salt crystal lamps naturally
cleanse the surrounding indoor air, whether directly or indirectly.
This is scientific
fact based on properties inherent to this salt. It's important
to breathe good air, free of pollution, germs, and the "floaties"
like pollen, dander, and dust. Unfortunately, the most polluted
air which we are exposed to is usually within an area within our
control...indoors. Homes, offices, and businesses both large and
small are often neglected in the area of indoor air and environmental
quality. Homes are especially important when it comes
to air quality because this is where we live and eat and sleep.
With all this time we spend breathing in our homes, does it make
logical sense to make sure our air, at the very least, not "un-healthy"?
Use a reasonably good air filter
and change it monthly. Whenever possible, open up the windows and
allow fresh circulation throughout the home. Place a properly-sized
warm, glowing salt lamp in every room - this will alter the electrical
balance (via negative ions) and remove moisture from the air. Moisture
content is crucial for indoor air pollution and microbial life
to remain alive and airborne. A Himalayan salt lamp can actually
make your indoor air healthful and good for you
Choosing a Salt Lamp for
Your Home
Our natural salt lamps are most
effective within a certain radius or area, respective to their
size. For example, our mini to small sizes (4-10 lbs) make great
nightlights, and would give maximum benefit on a desk, bedside
table, or in a small bedroom. For larger bedrooms and living areas,
a medium to large-sized (10-22 lbs) would be best; or perhaps several
well-placed small ones would do
the trick if weight of the lamp is an issue. Restaurants, stores,
spas, salons, and offices should use several medium to large salt
lamps for clean air and warm
atmosphere the customers (& employees) will notice!
Depending on the size (or more
imprtantly, the overall surface area), our lamps provide ionic
benefits within a short radius around the salt crystal - generally,
the ionic field doesn't extend throughout an entire room due to
the short lifespan of negative ions (2-6 minutes). However, the
effective area for our salt lamps' coverage is a 3' to 15' radius
from the unit - again, based on size and surface area. Air circulation,
ambient or forced, obvioiusly provides a slightly varied range.
We recommend leaving the lamps
turned on as much as possible, the light can positively affect
mood and creativity while the consistent warmth of the salt crystal
caused by the burning bulb improves the overall efficacy of the
lamp. Unlike most, we size the bulbs according to the lamp color
and thickness. Our bulbs range from 7W to 40W (C7, candelabra base)
Health Impact: Negative
Ionization and Salt Crystal
In
general, negative ion generation produces air similar to the air
outside after a rainstorm. If you've experienced a thunderstorm
then you have noticed the tension that builds up in the air before
a storm - as the positive ions in the air reach a peak. When the
storm hits, electrical charges are produced in the atmosphere and
rain falls. The resulting air is oxygen-rich
and full of negative ions. The sensations of calm and clarity
can be felt in the air after a storm.
Hundreds of articles and scientific studies have been published
on the positive effects of negative ions. Below is a short list
of some of the findings:
-
High-density ionic treatments
reduced symptoms of seasonal depression for a group in one
study..
-
Cigarette smoke effects
are countered by negative ions, cilia within the lungs were
slowed.
-
Patients numbering in
the hundreds received treatment and relief from asthma and
hay fever problems. With only fifteen minutes exposure to negative
ions, these people felt much better and didn't want to leave.
Within two hours of leaving the non-ionized space, their symptoms
and conditions returned.
-
Plants show an increased
growth rate!
-
Depression, asthma, migraines,
palpitations and irritability were remarkably reduced; as well
as a marked increase in human alertness levels.
-
Five hundred patients
were treated for five years, hyperthyroid cases were cured
with ionization at a rate of nearly 50%.
-
Bacteria counts were lowered
drastically. Streptococci, klebsiella, escherichia, staphylococci,
candida, and pseudomonas counts lowered by fifty percent within
six hours and within one day of negative ion exposure, the
rate climbs to seventy percent.
-
Aerosol-sprayed bacteria
cultures in air were virtually eliminated in 60 min. with high
negative ion exposure.
-
Headaches in office air
conditioned computer room reduced by 78%.
-
Hospital usage for burn
victims. Sealed room with negative ion treatment for severe
burn patients reduced pain to zero without the usage of morphine
or narcotics in 85% of the cases.
-
57% of post surgical cases
experienced significant pain reduction upon negative ion treatment.
Negative ions are remarkable.
Asthma and allergy sufferers notice almost immediately the difference
in ionized air of a room with these lamps turned on and an outside
room without one. Breathing becomes easier and airborne allergen
levels are significantly reduced. According to many of our customers,
migraines can be reduced and often eliminated by plentiful exposure
to salt lamps and the ionized "air vitamins"
it seems to create.
The psychological effects of Himalayan
salt lamps are well-noted as well. Repertedly, doctors throughout
Europe and Asia are recommending salt lamps as a tool in the treatment
of depression, attention-deficit disorder, anxiety, and other mind
maladies. Salt lamps are very popular tools for color therapy, light
therapy, speleotherapy, and halotherapy;
in addition to alternative, natural healing practices like reiki and
other forms of light-working.
Himalayan Bath Salt: The
Most Therapeutic, Pure, and Potent Bath Salt
For a spa experience without any
ostentation, dissolve a pound or three of our bath salt
crystal in
your bathwater and relax in soothing ionic bliss. Sea salt, these
days, is devoid of any energetic content because it likely has
been processed and chemically changed by the time it reaches the
consumer because of the pollution which it contains. We do not add scents, colors, or anything else to our bath salt, we prefer 100% natural.
No other mineral on earth has
the stored potency or content of Himalayan salt crystal. Ionicsalts'
baths salts have been in solid form for over 250 million years,
and therefore naturally pure and completely wholesome.
Skin is healthier, the mind and
breathing are clearer, and well-being is uplifted. These are the
natural properties of this salt on our health, and when added
with water it becomes restored to it's original form - unleashed.
This has been a long-recommended treatment for conditions such
as acne, stress,
insomnia, aches, arthritis, muscle spasms, skin conditions, and mental/physical
fatigue. Conpletely natural and pure crystalline salt
is very good for you, inside and out; the best comes from the Himalayan
foothills of Pakistan.
We are not doctors, nor are we
scientists per se. This is not medical advice; nor is this considered
a medical device by the FDA or any other health organization (yet).
These are natural, highly affective, ambient salt lamps. While
there is no adverse effect whatsoever from the presence of this
salt crystal to anyone, we do recommend to anyone who may be pregant,
consult your physician before using any bath salt in your bath
water.
Most hard medical evidence specifically
related to salt lamps is circumstantial and not offically researched.
Observations and testimonies from the entire world, yet the medical
research community doesn't latch on to natural homeopathic forms
of treatment; pharmaceuticals are more lucrative perhaps? We
have years of compelling medical evidence documented,
but it takes some true research and time (and money) for confirmation
of what we already know.
Salt crystal lamps and
bath salts are an easy, affordable, and ancient remedy!
