HIMALAYAN IONIC CRYSTAL SALT LAMPS

Lamps that can change your Life

Light passing through salt creates large quantities of negative ions. These ions rid the air of bacteria, smoke, dust and pollen.

They charge the air with a healthy energy that speeds the healing of wounds and relieves many symptoms of asthma and allergies.

Spend a few moments breathing deeply near a salt lamp and you will feel the difference. Take one home and you will reap its benefits for a lifetime.

Where Does This Salt Come From

Our Lamps use salt that was formed 250 million years ago in the Himalayan Mountains.

There are actually spas located deep in the salt mines to take advantage of the health-giving qualities of the high saturation of Negative Ions.

The geographical location of the mine provides the unique mineral content that creates the inherent beautiful colour of the salt rock crystals in shades and hues of coral and melon.

No such colour can be found in any existing gemstone.

In the body, negative ions increase our capacity to take up oxygen and enhance the ability of the respiratory tract to deal with airborne particles - allergens, dust, smoke etc.

Histamine, which triggers hay fever, is reduced by negative ions, which also have a beneficial effect on anyone suffering from bronchial complaints such as bronchitis, asthma, catarrh and the common cold.

The warm, peach glow gives one a feeling of warmth, security and serenity. Serenity is the first step on the road to well being.

Dr. Albert P. Krueger, a pathologist at the University of California, found that an astonishingly small quantity of negative ions kills many bacteria and quickly removes them from the air.

This is particularly useful to patients recovering from burns in particular.

(Krueger, A. P. "The Action of Air Ions on Bacteria." Journal of General Physiology. Berkeley: University of California, 1957.)

Research papers from St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London, Australia's National University (A.N.U), the Pavlov Institute in Russia, all showed that improved lung capacity and relief from asthma symptoms are achieved quite rapidly by exposure to small negative air ions.

Exposure to negative air ions affects serotonin levels.

Serotonin is a brain chemical related to mood and stress. Anti-depressant drugs, e.g. Prozac, alter brain metabolism of serotonin.

In 1985 a European research project exposed over 100 out patients at a mental health clinic to negative ionisation for just 40 minutes per day.

After only a few sessions. 50% of depressive patients reported a return to normal; 75% of headache patients had their pain disappear.

Negative ions substantially reduce airborne pollutants and are highly effective in eliminating airborne bacteria.

Ionic salt lamps improve physical and mental health and are well proven to provide relief from sinus problems, migraine headaches, allergies and hay fever, reduce the severity of asthma attacks, enhance immune system function, increase alertness, work productivity and concentration, as well as lung capacity and reduce our susceptibility to colds and flu.

We absorb about 68% of our energy each day from the air we breathe. That’s more energy than we get from the food we eat or the water we drink.

Summary

Negative ions accelerate the oxidative degradation of serotonin whereas positive ions have the opposite action and inactivate the enzymes which break down serotonin.

An increase in the serotonin level (5-hydroxytryptamine) produces:

• Tachycardia [fast heart rate]
• A rise in blood pressure,
• Bronchospasm going as far as asthma attack,
• Increased intestinal peristalsis (contractions and dilations of the intestines to move the contents onwards),
• Increased sensitivity to pain,
• Increased aggression

A decrease in the serotonin level is calming and increases defences against infection (as proven with influenza 'the flu')."
