Harmful
Effects of Positive Ions
The most dangerous
levels of harmful positive ions occur in the polluted, large industrial
and heavily populated cities. Exhaust fumes from cars, trucks, and buses;
factory smoke, cigarette smoke, dust and soot, electromagnetic pollution,
and overall atmospheric pollution caused by air and sea crafts; all
combine to create a mixture of Harmful Positive Ions, and reduces the
proportion of beneficial negative ions in our surroundings. This gradually
affects our lungs, can ruin our health and cause general lethargy and
depression.

Health
Benefits
Negative Ions give
the air its invigorating freshness and reduce the number of airborne
bacteria, which is so beneficial to us. Although negative ion theory
is by no means mainstream, many health practitioners in Europe, North
America, Australia and Japan use the Salt Crystal Lamps extensively
in their recommended treatments of allergies, neuralgia, hypertension,
respiratory problems, rheumatism, kidney or liver conditions & hormonal
imbalance, sinus, migraine headaches, blood system diseases, to reduce
the asthma attacks, enhance the immune system, increase alertness, increase
work productivity, increase lung capacity, reduce susceptibility to
colds and flu, and for color therapy.
Salt crystal lamps help breath more comfortably to the people suffering
with Asthma, Respiratory problem and Chronic Bronchitis.
Salt crystal lamps
boost the number of negative ions in the room. Excessive negative ions
are essential for high energy and positive mood. Bioenergetics vibrations
improve the energy level and strengthen one's nervous system, harmonize
the function of sexual glands, and even help to promote sexual energy.
That's why people suffering from chronic congestive problems go to clinics
located in salt mines for treatment. It is called SPELEOTHERAPY. The
very dry, negative ion-rich environment of these salt mines helps to
clear out the patients' bronchial tubes and sinuses, and to kill bacteria
and other microbes. Others, including many from the USA, swim/float
in the salt and mineral rich Dead Sea in Israel.
For health benefits,
Negative Ionizers are well recognized in many countries. Most ionizers
in the market are man-made machines, while the Salt Crystal Lamps are
a beautiful, less costly, maintenance free, and 100% natural alternative
to improve air quality.
