Do Salt Lamps Work?

Lately I've ran across a few obscure links which more or less are slamming salt lamps, claiming without foundation that they emit a minimal amount of ions and have no effect on surrounding air.
One was even a .edu link....go figure. No evidence, no observation, no testing-just words based on old school thinking that we need machines, pharmaceuticals, and technology to save us all. Anyone that actually owns one will say different, if they won't then they haven't tried our lamps.


Here are the facts: Salt crystal by it's very nature is hygroscopic, meaning it removes moisture/humidity readily. Airborne microbial life (bacteria, virii, spores, et al) cannot remain airborne nor can they remain alive without the humidity and moisture to cling to. These little critters fall to floor and die rather quickly. This same principle applies to airborne allergens and particulates that give some people fits of asthma or allergic reactions, even headaches and migraines. So many illnesses and maladies are environmentally related...in the things we eat, the items we surround ourselves with, and with every breath we bring our airborne environment within usually not wondering "What was in that breath I just took?"


On the other side of the aisle is study after study which proves the medical benefit and positive effects on human well-being that salt crystal can have. Removal of ADHD symptoms; increased mental activity and alertness; improved mood; improved healing rate; increased productivity; better sleep; less fatigue....oh, there's more, that's just the salt lamps (bath salts bring even more into play). These remarkable effects are attributed to the high energetic content and crystalline structure which is in no way similar to table salt, or even sea salt. The negative ions change the electrical state of surrounding air, thereby changing the balance.


Microbes, pollutants, and their ilk attach to positive ions in the air; the balance is altered by negative ions. The floaties have nothing to grab onto, and again, they die. The change in electrical state has a compounding effect on purifying the air with the natural hygroscopic properties of Himalayan salt.


Salt lamps do work. Those that dispute this are full of **it. We guarantee it.
These are not medical devices, simply 100% natural and homeopathic alternatives that convince everyone that ever buys one from us. Did I mention ozone-free and 250 Million years old?


80% of our customers come back for more....guess why.


Peace

Super Water Kills Bugs Dead

Super Water Kills Bugs Dead

According to this article, a company in California has created and water-salt solution which is as effective as bleach in disinfecting yet harmless to people, plants, and animals. It smells and tastes like water but there is an ionic imbalance created by the salt which makes quick work of bacteria, virii, and even spores.
This fall right in line with what we've been saying about "real" salt. Suddenly we have a natural alternative disinfectant that works every bit as good bleach according to the discoverers.

Interesting article. Our salt lamps have a similar disinfecting effect on indoor air. Science keeps backing us up.

Polish vs Himalayan: Observations

A short time ago we received an amusing email from a certain Polish gentleman whom we were later told is rabid/fanatical in trying to impress the world with unusually cheap and far less potent or appealling salt lamps. The language he used was pompous in tone, trying to use the facade of an official-sounding government domain and threats of baseless legal action; demanding a retraction in writing regarding a sentence on this page which was simply reworded with a softer, less-pointed criticism. Retraction? Bah...

Polish mines are well-known in Europe, and as salt is by it's very nature hygroscopic (readily removing moisture from the air) the environment is ideal for speleo/halotherapy. The mines are a tourist attraction with much history. Of course their is therapeutic value while being within the mines. Lamps from this salt are attractive as well...but....

Books have been written about Himalayan salt crystal, studies have been done about the amazing effects of negative ions on human health, and our customers who already own or have owned Polish salt lamps are regularly remarking about the remarkable difference of our salt lamps. Visually the light is more even because the salt is more translucent with far fewer impurities on average to cloud and obscure. Unanimously, we hear from our customers about the "kick" our lamps have that none others offer. We can attribute this to the high energetic/ionic/biophotonic content not found anywhere else. There is a real difference!
This is a touchy-feely item, in that, we can only tell you how it can affect your environment and, consequently, YOU. You only get half the story just looking at it. Having one around makes a world of difference in so many ways.
