Health Benefits of Negative Ions from Himalayan Salt Lamps
Ions are molecules or items of oxygen with or without electrons. An electronically charged molecule is called a negative ion, whereas a molecule that has lost its electrons (Generally due to polluted air caused mainly by electronic appliances functioning indoor) are called positive ion which effectively neutralize or kill the harmful positive ions in these surrounding areas.
Our lamp produces approximately 1000-1500 Negative ions per cubic centimeter.
Negative ions have a positive effect on human health as they provide cure from allergies, hay fever, cold flue, asthmatic attacks, headaches, sinus, annoyance, stress, anxiety, migraine and diseases of sexual sphere.
Moreover, they decrease the tension and strain by enriching the immune system, increase the lungs capacity, enhance attentiveness and boost the efficiency.
Natural salt have been used by the medical community since the medical times and to this day are thought to reduce bronchial congestion, asthma, insomnia, depression, allergies, viruses, sinusitis and migraines by emitting negative ions, significantly reduce a myriad of indoor air pollutants.
Negative ions have known benefits and may provide relief from sinus, migraine, headaches, allergies and hay fever, reduce the severity of asthma attacks, enhance the immune system, increase alertness, increase work productivity and concentration, increase lung capacity and reduce susceptibility to cold and flue.
Because of their color they are also use in color therapy.
Cleanse & Deodorize the Air
Probably the most well-known benefit – and why the majority of people use them – is due to their incredible power to remove dust, pollen, cigarette smoke, and other contaminants from the air. “But how do they do this,” you ask? “It’s just a big chunk of salt with a light bulb inside, right?”
Well yes, but no. There’s much more to it than that.
Himalayan pink salt lamps purify air through the power of hygroscope, meaning that they attract water molecules from the surrounding environment then absorb those molecules – as well as any foreign particles they may be carrying – into the salt crystal. As the HPS lamp warms up from the heat produced by the light bulb inside, that same water then evaporates back into the air and the trapped particles of dust, pollen, smoke etc remain locked in the salt.
Reduce Allergy & Asthma Symptoms
Because HPS lamps remove microscopic particles of dust, pet dander, mold, mildew and the like from the surrounding air, placing a lamp or two in the rooms where you spend the most time can seriously cut back on allergy symptoms. Even people who suffer from asthma should notice a big difference after a week or two. (In fact, Himalayan pink salt is so good for your airways, there are even HPS Inhalers!)
Well yes, but no. There’s much more to it than that.

Scientific Studies
A series of scientific studies show that salt crystal lamps can increase the negative ion count lay up to 300% in nature negative ions are created by means of wind, sunlight, surf, waterfalls and rainstorms.
The German author of book “Water and Salt” Dr. Miss Barbara Handel, the mining of salt is a global tradition. Those who have had access to salt in ancient times also had access to power however in past 150 years; salt has lost its importance. Modern Methods of mining and chemicals treatment have turned the white gold into an almost useless substance.
Only in recent years have biophysicist started once again conducting scientific research on natural crystal rock salt consists of exactly the same 84 elements as found in the human body.
In fresh air we find up to 4000 negative ions per cubic centimeters the size of a sugar cube.
Near strong surf or close to a water fall up to 10000 negative ions can be found, however the number of negative ions in major capital cities at rush hours does not even reach 100. It is scientifically proved that Salt Lamps produced negative ions as founded in fresh air.
Well yes, but no. There’s much more to it than that.
