Everything You Need To Know About Himalayan Salt Lamps
Throw away your belief that everything called “positive” is positive for you — especially when it comes to ions. A negative ion, which is often displayed after an act of nature such as an electrical storm, large waves crashing onto the shore or bright sunlight streaming directly from the sky, can charge the human body, refreshing it and creating a feeling of exhilaration. Positive ions, on the other hand, are created when electrical equipment, microwaves, air conditioners or even vacuum cleaners stir up the atmosphere, causing sneezing, coughing or other maladies Fortunately, a negative ion can destabilize the positive ion and cleanse the air.
The American Lung Association recently reported that “more than 142 million Americans” are inhaling an excessive amount of unhealthy air. Even more disturbing are the Environmental Protection Agencies findings that “the level of air pollutants indoors may be anywhere from 2 to 5 times greater than outdoors.” The unhealthy air we breathe has been linked to an increase in health problems such as asthma, chronic lung disease, allergies, nausea, headaches, dizziness…etc.
Industry has responded to consumer demands for healthier indoor air. Unfortunately, many of the man-made air purifiers are not helping to improve indoor air quality. For instance, many industrial ionizers produce

considerable levels of ozone. Ozone is an irritant that has been linked to respiratory illnesses. Ozone can irritate the lungs causing problems for people with asthma. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), American Lung Association, and California Air Resources Board have recently warned against the use of ionic air purifiers because of unhealthy ozone being created and released. As well, many ionizers require changing the filters regularly resulting in high maintenance costs.
So Well Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamps: A Natural Air Purifying Solution
Many scientific studies have shown that salt crystal lamps can increase the negative ion count “by up to 300%.” Negative ionized air drastically reduces the number of indoor airborne bacteria and dust. Dr. Albert P. Krueger, a microbiologist and experimental pathologist at the University of California, found that a small quantity of negative ions can kill bacteria and quickly remove them from the air thereby reducing the chance of infection. Negative ions also benefit asthma patients, people with chronic lung illnesses, and allergy sufferers. As well, they help improve learning, memory, and emotional well being. By creating a balance of ions in the air, they stimulate natural drive and healthy energy. Their colors create a pleasantly calming and warm environment.
A low-cost method, The Himalayan Salt Lamp is an excellent source of negative ions and is strikingly beautiful, blending favorably with any environment. Heating the salt crystal with a bulb inside the lamp releases negative ions into the air. As a result, the salt crystal lamp improves air quality and your body’s health. For a constant ionizing effect, it is recommended that you light your lamp every day for optimal cleansing results. When a lamp warms, it attracts humidity and the surface of the salt crystal becomes damp. Negative ions build up and then released. Crystal salt lamps bind the excessive positive ions with their negative ions. The ions cleanse the air of harmful dust, electro smog, bacteria and other toxins. The 15 watt bulb is so energy efficient compared to the man made machines which can be harmful and require increased energy .resources. The standard 15 watts bulb is very energy efficient considering you would only need one lamp as a night light for a large room. So Well Commitment to Fair Trade Practices
In today’s fast growing industrialized world, many large companies rely on poverty wages paid to small family companies in developing countries. More consumers are becoming aware of these practices and are searching for companies who reject that form of unfair labor. Solay Wellness has responded to these unfair industrial practices. Mined by hand by a small family run company in the Himalayan Mountains of Pakistan, So Well Salt Crystal Lamps are not only environmentally responsible, but ensure that small family companies receive a fair price so they successively grow and prosper.
Known as “Nature’s Ionizers,” Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamps eliminate a host of indoor air pollutants. Because this natural crystal salt has been exposed to massive pressure for millions of years, it has resulted in the formation of this durable crystal salt. Basically, the more pressure on the crystal salt, the stronger its composition. This is why salt crystal lamps will not reduce in size, color, shape, or their ionizing effect. They are a long-lasting and stunning addition to any home or office.
