Negative Ions
If you've felt the breath of the air after a thunderstorm or at the summit of a towering mountain, you've experienced the freshness and improved breathing that result from negative ions. Negative ions attach to and neutralize microscopic particles floating in the air like pollen, mold and pet dander, eliminating odors and restoring fresh, clean air.
Salt has been prized for it's healing properties for thousands of years and people were once sent deep within salt mines as therapy for congestive disorders. The negative ions within the mines cleared bronchial tubes and sinuses, eliminating bacteria along the way. This underground treatment was called "Speleotherapy."
The health benefits of negative ionizers are recognized all over the world. Salt lamps are known to relieve hay fever, asthma, migraine headaches and sinus-related illnesses. The lamps are often placed on bedside tables, at computer work stations, in a nursery, meditation space or even near a cat litter box. Many people with asthma sleep with them lit at the bedside. They are used worldwide in spas and medical treatment rooms and prized by feng shui practitioners for clearing the energy of a room.
