Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamps have a similar effect to an ionizer (but these are quite expensive). These Himalayan salt lamps emit negative ions to their surroundings. Negative ions kill bacteria, purify the air, reduce radiation, increase well being & soothe the mind, body & soul. Negative ions are found naturally in nature, before thunder storms, at waterfalls and wherever nature is most pure.

Bioenergotherapists and homeopaths in Western Europe have recommended crystal salt lamps for a long time to support treatment of allergies, respiratory and blood systems 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.

Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamps - Why Should We Use Them? 

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

Many people swear by the Salt Crystal's healing ability, claiming relief from the common cold, the curing of skin problems, mental health disorders, respiratory illness, headaches, migraines and much more. These authentic Himalayan salt lamps are the most exquisite and naturally pure lights now made. A heated salt crystal lamp will attract water molecules from the air, forming a NaCl and H20 solution. Sodium is a positive ion, and Chloride, a negative ion. Hydrogen has a two part negative charge and Oxygen is a positively charged ion. These ions create a reaction of two positive ions and three negative ions. After canceling each other out, one lone negative ion is produced. This negative ion seeks out the first positive ion like a dust, or bacteria particle and zaps it. This is the process of positive ion reduction and is how our Himalayan Salt Lamps work.

The harmful effects of electric smog results in the deterioration of air which then negatively impacts our physical and emotional state.

How do Himalayan rock-salt lamps work?  . . .
When Himalayan rock-salt is heated by a light bulb or candle flame, the ionic bonding of the salt molecule is disintegrated, resulting in the creation of sodium and chlorine ions. Upon the break up of these two atoms,  the electron from the outer shell of the sodium is taken with the chlorine. The chlorine now has an extra electron making it negatively charged. It is these negative ions that take off in flight, cleaning the air by removing harmful, positively-charged particles, such as pollen, dust mites, animal dander, smoke, odours, mould and bacteria.  Salt lamps have proven their ability to improve breathing, reduce stress, reduce headaches and aid with asthma and allergies. Many of these problems are due to today’s electrical environment which is generating positive ions that are harmful.
