Discover the health benefits of Himalayan Salt Lamps

Himalayan salt, which is used to create Himalayan Salt Lamps, is one of today’s most sought after items in the world of nutrition and holistic health.  Over the years, researchers and health experts have discovered a plethora of uses for this incredible product.

Salt lamps are ideal for daily use near televisions and computers, around smokers, in offices with air-conditioning, in fact anywhere you want to restore or preserve the natural air quality.  Himalayan Salt Lamps are a beautiful and natural alternative to artificial ionisers.

Due to their beautiful and rich colours, salt lamps are also used in colour therapy, i.e. chromo therapy. Salt lamps have also been appreciated by Feng Shui art connoisseurs. The lamps are hand excavated from salt deposits at the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains and great care is taken to retain their natural beauty.

Even when the lamps are cool, they have some beneficial effect, but when lamps or tea lights are lit, the gentle heat they generate produces a far higher number of negative ions. Bio-energy therapists and homeopaths in Europe have recommended crystal salt lamps for a long time to support treatment of allergies, respiratory system and blood system diseases. They are often used in the treatment of rheumatism.

As they are all unique and not symmetrical, there are 3 or 4 sides to each lamp thereby offering a different effect, depending which side it faces.

Benefits of Negative Ions

It is said that Himalayan Salt Lamps increase negative ion presence by up to 300%, therefore correcting the imbalance of excessive positive ions.

Scientists have found that the air’s composition of negative ions should usually be between 1000-1500 per cubic centimetre.  Measurements have shown that the number of negative ions decreases to 200 per cubic centimetre in a closed room containing several people.  It is also said that salt lamps can increase the negative ion count by up to 300%.

Negative ions are created naturally by 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 the process of air pollution.  In ordinary, fresh country air, we find up to 4000 negative ions per cubic centimetre and, near strong surf or close to a waterfall, up to 10,000 negative ions can be found.  This can decrease to less than 100 in major cities during the rush hour!

Ionised air also substantially reduces the number of airborne bacteria indoors.  A leading microbiologist and experimental pathologist at the University of California, Dr. Albert Krueger, found that even a very small quantity of negative ions could kill bacteria and remove them from the air so they were less likely to infect people.

According to the “Journal of Hygiene”, scientists showed that ionisation reduced bacterial levels in burns and plastic surgery units by over 96% after a two week period, which resulted in much better and more rapid healing of patients.  Not only were negative ions found to speed recovery in burn or asthma patients, they were also discovered to affect serotonin levels in the bloodstream, stabilize alpha rhythms and positively impact our reactions to sensory stimuli.  The greater level of alertness can translate into improved learning, improved well-being and enhanced human performance on mental tasks.

The “Journal of Applied Microbiology” states that the use of negative ions was even found by scientists to reduce the presence of airborne viruses by about 40%.  A study featured in the 1987 issue also showed the negative ions are free from any adverse side effects.
