Salt Lamps

Himalayan salt crystal lamps and tealights

Himalayan natural salt lamps give relief from hay fever, sinus problems, bronchitis, allergies, asthma attacks and respiratory disorders. They are suitable for daily use near televisions and computers, around smokers, in offices, in therapy rooms to promote relaxation and healing. Basically anywhere there is a desire to restore or preserve the natural air quality.

These salt lamps are made from salt crystal rocks formed 100's of millions of years ago in the foothills of the Himalayas. The salt lamps are carefully crafted by hand to retain the unique, beautiful natural shape of the rock. The crystal produces healthy negative ions and the glow beautifies any room. The negative ions produced attract dust and pollen, as they are positive ions they are attracted to the negative charge lamp.

Positive ions are blamed for causing all sorts of illnesses, allergies and headaches, tiredness, stress, insomnia, loss of memory, accelerated aging, lack of concentration and a lower immune defence system. The negative ions produced by the salt lamps promote alpha brainwaves and increase brainwave amplitude, which translates to a higher awareness level and results in a calming effect.

A salt lamp is beneficial anywhere you would like the air quality to be improved or preserved, anywhere you want to create a cosy, relaxing environment & anywhere you want to enjoy the beauty of nature.

At the beginning of 21st century, we can hardly imagine living without many electrical devices, they make it easier for us to work in the office, at home and they entertain us. However we do not realize that they are also a source of very harmful positive ions and so called ELECTRIC SMOG.

The harmful effect of electric smog resulting in the deterioration of the condition of air which then negatively affect our physical and emotional state.

Sources of harmful positive ions are:

• Computer monitors
• TV sets
• Electric heaters
• Dryers
• Vacuum cleaners
• Microwave ovens
• Tobacco smoke

Scientific research has proven that the amount of ions in the environment acceptable by humans should range between 1000-1500/cm3.
Scientific tests have revealed that the ratio of 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 200/cm3. The positive effect of negative ions can be experienced on a visit to a salt mine, by the sea or walking outdoors after a storm.

The cheapest and simplest method of fighting against electric smog is to air rooms regularly, particularly those where few people stay together and have many electrical machines or where cigarettes are smoked.
You can also use air ionisers, which are a bit more expensive to help you remove electric smog or a cost effective salt crystal lamp.

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.
In salt lamps the ionization effect is additionally enhanced by heating the salt crystal with a bulb installed inside the lamp, As a result the salt crystal lamp improves the quality of our environment and thus our well-being, in addition crystal salt helps cure many diseases.
Bioenergotherapists and homeopaths in Western Europe have recommended crystal salt lamps for a long time to support treatment of allergies, respiratory and blood system and rheumatism.
Because of their colour they are also used in colour therapy i.e. chromotherapy their soothing light helps neurotic persons and people suffering from insomnia.

DO NOT WET THE SALT LAMP IT WILL DISSOLVE WHEN WET, CLEAN WITH A DRY CLOTH OR IF WIPED WITH A DAMP CLOTH DRY BEFORE USE. DO NOT LEAVE A CANDLE UNATTENDED OR LAMPS ON OVERNIGHT.
