Today, people are becoming increasingly dependent on
technology to make their lives easier. There are a number of electronic devices
like (Televisions, Computers, and Radios etc.) which we use in our homes and
offices. However, these devices create a source of very harmful 'positive
ions', called the electric smog, in the environment. This so called electric
smog increases the concentration of the positive ions in the room which takes a
great toll on our health. They cause deterioration in the condition of air in
the room and take a toll on our physical, emotional and mental health. They
have been shown to cause stress, headaches, and temporary depression.

A series of scientific studies show that salt crystal lamps
can increase the negative ion count by up to 300%. In nature Negative Ions are
created by means of wind, sunlight, surf, waterfalls and rainstorms. Generally,
a negative ion is an electronically charged molecule made up of oxygen. A
positive ion in the air is a molecule that has lost its electrons through
process of air pollution. In fresh country air we find up to 4000 negative ions
per cubic centimetre - the size of a sugar cube. Near strong surf or close to a
waterfall up to 10.000 negative ions can be found, however the number of
negative ions in major capital cities at rush hour does not even reach 100.

The most dangerous levels of positive ions occur in polluted
cities. Exhaust fumes from cars, trucks, and buses; factory smoke, cigarette
smoke, dust and electromagnetic pollution all combines to create an
intoxicating mixture of positive ions and ozone that gradually destroys our
lungs and ruins our health. Some of the most common types of the harmful
positive ion generators indoors are TV sets, microwave ovens, dryers, tobacco
smoke, computer monitors and all the other electrical devices in our homes or
offices. It has been researched scientifically that the amount of ions in the
environment, that is acceptable by human is ca. 1100-1600/cm3. And normally in
closed rooms were electronic appliances are utilized, this amount as low as
250/cm3.

Scientific research has proven that the amount of ions in the environment
acceptable by human, should range between 1100-1600/cm3. They've also revealed
that the ratio negative to positive ions should be between 1.02to 0.98. In
closed rooms where a few people work at the same time the amount of negative
ions may fall to as low as 250/cm3 . The positive effect of negative ions
can be experienced on a visit to a salt mine, by the sea or walking right after
the storm. This shows now important it is to make sure that harmful effect of
electric smog is reduced to a minimum in the rooms we work.

The cheapest and simplest method of fighting against electric smog is to use
Salt Crystal lamps. These beautiful lamps take care of the job at a very low
cost. The salt lamp is a natural air ionizer that effectively boosts the number
of negative ions in the room. The effect of air ionization by salt originates
from physical and chemical properties of salt discovered many years ago. The
amount of negative ions a salt lamp can release depends on its size and how
warm the candle or light bulb can make it. In salt lamps the ionization effect
is additionally enhanced by heating the salt crystal with a bulb or a candle
installed inside the lamp, As a result the salt crystal lamp improves the
quality of our environment by generating healthy negative ions.

Natural Salts have been used by the medical community since the medieval 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 colds and
flu. Because of their color they are also used in color therapy i.e. chromo
therapy their soothing light helps neurotic persons and people suffering from
insomnia.
