Negative ions

Negative Ions are beneficial for our health as they play a role of “Air Energizers” or “Vitamins of the Air”. Ions are molecules or atoms of oxygen with or without electrons. An electronically charged molecule is called ‘Negative Ion’ whereas a molecule that had lost its electrons generally due to polluted air caused mainly by electronic appliances functioning indoor, is known as ‘Positive Ion’.
As most of us are aware about the fact that the quality of the air we breathe depends upon the higher ratio of Negative Ions as compared to Positive Ions. As we usually notice an improved air quality near to the ocean and waterfall, in the forest, on the mountain’s top and after rain just because that ionization balance in these places remains in the favor of electronically charged molecules i.e. Negative Ions. Scientific studies revealed that the proportion between negative to positive ions should be 1.02 : 0.98. The capacity of Negative Ions in the air should range from 1000 to 1500 per cubic cm. Likewise the Salt Crystal Rock is another natural source of emitting Negative Ions.
Health
 
Technically known as Speleotherapy but commonly known an ‘Underground Climatotherapy’, is an alternative treatment for Asthma, which has been in vogue in Eastern Europe since centuries. In this treatment an asthmatic patient is supposed to spend at least 2-3 hours per day for at least 3 months under these salt mines. This has produced positive results. Basically three medical factors are affective to enhance the health of patients i.e. specific microclimate of salt mines, water of salt workings and brine and mud of salty lake.
Negative Ions freshen and improve air quality by removing harmful particles from the air. It is an astonishing factor that we take 56% of the energy from the air we breathe which is more than from the combination of both water and food. Sources of positive ions are vehicle and factory smokes, cigarette smoke, artificial cooling and heating systems, exhausts, televisions, radios, computers, high voltage networks, transmitters and radar systems etc.
Exclusive microclimate of salt mines is being used effectively for more than 30 years in the treatment and psychotherapy of patients having symptoms of bronchial asthma and other Chronic Nonspecific Lung Diseases (CNLD) in the world’s famous Ukrainian Allergologic Hospital (UAH), a speleotherapeutic clinic in Ukraine.
Dr. Albert P. Krueger, University of California’s microbiologist and experimental therapist and founder of the Air Ion Research Laboratory revealed through his studies that the ionized air significantly lowers the level of airborn germs in covered areas. Surprisingly a small level of negative ions can finish these bacteria and throw them out of the air to keep the people safe from their harm, he added.
For the treatment of most health states, the use of Salt Crystal Lamps and allied products is extremely advised by the Homeopathists and Bioenergotherapists in Europe and Asia. These products are of great advantage for routine use near computers, while watching televisions, in air-conditioned rooms, at smoking places, in massage and meditation rooms.
The indoor air pollution can be greatly decreased by the production of Negative Ions emitting from these Natural Salt Crystal Rock Lamps and allied products apart from the fact that these products now became the natural medical device as they play a role of Air-Cleaner naturally.
Undoubtedly, Negative Ions have 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 lung capacity, enhance the attentiveness and boost the efficiency.
Usage
 
Why Use Rock Salt Lamps:
Cool salt crystals in underground salt mines that is non-illuminated usually produce lower negative ionizing effect whereas the illuminated (light up) Salt Crystal Lamps generate higher number of Negative Ions due to slightly increased temperature of the salt crystals. Successive scientific researches disclosed that in congested rooms, negative ions fall upto 200 per cubic centimeter whereas Salt Crystal Lamps would boost the negative ions ratio by more than 300%.
Air ionization and negative ions production give a soothing and calming effect to the mind and soul and the glow of these lamps, appearing in different natural colors and shades ranging from orange, red, apricot and white to golden, provides charismatic and pleasant look to the eyes and adds loveliness to the environment. This creates specific atmosphere of consoling, meditative balance, serenely and peace for the users. 
For example in bedrooms Rock Salt Lamps or Candleholders/ Tealights when glow in gloom provide charismatic and romantic view and also create healthy environment that besides giving peaceful sleep, enhance the affection between the partners by reducing stress and enriching their immune system and make them able to enjoy the company more effectively.
In offices, where they keep the work force refresh and energize, improve their efficiency, deliberation and make them able to concentrate more on their work by naturalizing the artificial environment.
Rock Salt Products Can Be Used In The Following Ways:
In Bedrooms
In Offices
For Computer Users
For Allergy Victims
During Study
By Meditators
By Smokers
For Asthmatic Patients
While entertaining dinner guests
During Bath & wherever you want a cozy environment
.Cautions
Cautions for lamps:
As these lamps absorb a lot of moisture from the air, so these should not be put in damp rooms or outdoors. In case the lamps get wet, just use them normally as the warmth of the light will dry them and take away any powdery material with the help of dry duster.
Only make sure that you put on these lamps for a longer period daily.
Kindly drop the lit tealight quietly and slowly into the lamp and not put out it carelessly. Before changing the bulb, first put the plug out of the socket to prevent electric shock.
There is no maintenance of the lamp except for change of light bulbs.
