Some claims include migraine headache relief, enhanced serotonin levels in the blood, reduced severity of asthma attacks, immune system enhancement, and reduced vulnerability to colds and flu. Science suggests these claims are true, however, here is what can be told:

1. When they are lit and become heated, negative ions are released into the air.
2. They purify the air.
3. Their relaxing glow effortlessly reduces stress and depression.
4. They can help relieve symptoms of asthma, sinus and allergy.

What are negative ions?

Negative ions are oxygen atoms with an extra electron, ions are charged particles that are formed by the nature when enough energy acts upon a molecule. An electron is ejected leaving a positively charged ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged ion. In fresh country air it is common to find up to 4000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. By contrast, it is common to find that the number of negative ions in major cities at rush hour is less than 100.

What are the effects of negative ions?

Negative ions cause harmful microscopic-particles in the air to clump together then weigh them down to the floor. Particles include all forms of air pollution: smoke, chemical odors, carbon monoxide, bacteria, viruses & mold. Negative ions in the environment create a powerful antidote for many environmentally induced health problems such as allergies, respiratory ailments, headaches and infections.

What causes negative ion depletion?

Many factors contribute to the depletion of negative ions. Any high concentration of polluted, static or hot/dry air causes this. Examples are:

• Office/cubicle
• Children’s rooms
• Fluorescent lighting
• High concentration of electronic equipment
• Static producing fibers
• Air conditioners
• Older TVs and monitors (CRTs)
• Airflow from furnace ducts and HVAC systems

Where to use salt crystal lamps?

• office/cubicle
• Children’s rooms
• Doctor’s offices
• Bedrooms
• Restaurants and hotels
• Meditation and therapy rooms
• Environments with pets, high pollen counts and smoke

Do salt lamps help you sleep?

Since Himalayan salt lamps release negative ions into the air, it encourages a relaxing atmosphere for sleep, and helps to reduce anxiety. The calming dim light from the salt lamp helps promote sleepiness. Using bright lights before bed can delay production of the sleep hormone, melatonin.

What size should an Ionic Salt Crystal Lamp be to give the best results?

A rule of thumb is two pounds for every 10 square feet.

• cubicle/office 8-12 lbs
• 10’x10’ 14-22 lbs
• 10’x15’ 24-30 lbs
• 10’x20’ 32-46 lbs
