| Health Benefits

| Many people are aware of the benefits of negative ions on
our health. Negative ions are essential for our health and well being.
The freshness of the air after a thunderstorm, on a mountain top, or by the
seaside, is due to the high concentration of negative ions in the air. On
the other hand, the reduced well being one feels in highly polluted areas,
artificially air conditioned offices, or when certain hot dry wind conditions
exist, are usually due to an unduly low negative ion balance (and therefore
high proportion of positive ions).
|
| Ions are molecules or atoms 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 ions.
Salt Crystal lamps produce negative ions which effectively neutralize or kill
the harmful positive ions in their surrounding areas.
|
| The environment in which we're living today has far more
sources of Positive ions (TV sets, microwave ovens, dryers, tobacco smoke,
computer monitors and all the other electrical devices in our homes or offices)
than ever before. This creates an electrical imbalance in the air surrounding
us. These positive ions are considered one of the main the reason for the
deterioration of our physical and emotional well being. I n an air conditioned
office, you may experience reduced well being, which is often due to high
positive ions in the atmosphere.
|
| Negative ions have a positive effect on human health as they
provide cure from allergies, hay fever, cold, flu, 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.

Today, the health benefits of ionizers are well recognized;
whilst most ionizers on the market are man made machines, the crystal salt
lamps are Mother Nature's beautiful alternative. Negative ions can be found in
billions, on mountaintops, water falls and by the sea. They give the air its
invigorating freshness. Humans respond most positively to a ratio of 2 negative
ions to 1 positive ion, but due to the polluted environment around us today,
such a ratio is very hard to achieve. Salt lamps not only add beauty to the
environment and surroundings of the rooms, they have a refreshing and
energizing effect, helping to purify the air and thereby benefit the people and
pets breathing that air.
