Increases negative ion count in hot, dry and/or windy environments 11. Helps you feel more alert, stable and energized! 12. May increase work productivity and concentration 13. May increase lung capacity 14. May reduce susceptibility to colds and flu “Greater levels of alertness can translate into improved learning, improved well-being and enhanced human performance on mental tasks.” How? Salt Crystal Rock and lamps can enrich the air with NEGATIVE IONS which ionize the air we breathe and live in. When light (thus salt lamp) is placed inside the Salt Crystal Rock, this actually produces and emits a higher number of Negative ions and delivers a more Ionizing Effect than just Salt Crystal Rock by itself. Negative ions cause microscopic particles call particulates (which are floating around a room) to clump together and fall to the floor (or other surfaces) so that they can then be vacuumed up. The particulates are what people have allergic reactions to. The action of the negative ion upon a particulate and other air molecules occurs via an electrostatic charge between them. What are Negative Ions? Negative ions are oxygen atoms with an extra electron which can help you feel better. They are charged particles formed in nature when enough energy acts upon a molecule (such as carbon dioxide, oxygen or nitrogen) to eject an electron from the molecule leaving a positively charged ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule which then becomes a negatively charged ion. It is the negative ion of oxygen that affects us most. What are the effects of being exposed to LOW negative ion count? 1. Not feeling good about yourself 2. Being “sensitive” to your surroundings 3. Being less responsive (despondent) to everything around you 4. Feeling tired Causes of Negative Ion Depletion The picture tubes (CRTs) in computer monitors and TVs deplete the air of negative ions. So does the airflow through furnace ducts and air conditioning systems. Research has also shown that polluted areas both indoors and outdoors have very low levels of negative ions and very high levels of positive ions. It would seem that all or most of the available negative ions had been used up in their fight with contaminants. Dry, hot winds (like the famed Santa Anas, or Witches’ Wind) also deplete negative ions from the air. Scientific evidence Dr. Albert P. Krueger, a microbiologist and experimental pathologist at the University of California, found that an astonishingly small quantity of negative ions could KILL bacteria and quickly take them out of the air so they were less likely to infect people. A separate series of scientific studies elsewhere show that Salt Lamps and salt tealites can increase the negative ion count by up to 300%! Generally, a negative ion is an electronically changed molecule made up of oxygen. In fresh country air we find up to 4,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. On the other hand, the number of negative ions in major capitol cities at rush hour does not even reach 100! The impact of negative ions are powerful enough to increase the level of serotonin in the bloodstream, stabilize alpha rhythms and to positively impact our reactions to sensory stimuli. Salt Crystal Lams and Speleotherapy (treatment in natural salt caves and mines) Speleotherapy Sanitoriums located in European countries like Ukraine, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Armenia, and Asian countries, provide natural health alternatives for respiratory conditions, immune system dysfunctions and illnesses. Speleotherapy Sanitoriums are organized in old Salt Rock mines because of the high concentrations of ionized air (negative ions) produced by Salt Crystal Rock. Because of the demand from people with respiratory, asthma, allergy and immune deficiency problems, people from countries like France, England, Germany, Italy and Spain use Speleotherapy as a natural health alternative without side-effects. People sign up for 20-30 days (Sanatoria course) and stay 900 to 1500 feet underground where all necessities are provided: food, water, exercise, sleeping and living quarters. These same people often go home with a salt lamp to continue the positive results they have achieved. Care of your Salt Crystal Lamp Not only do Salt Lamps provide many health benefits, they are beautiful and easy to care for: 1. Keep lamp in a dry environment 2. In damp, humid conditions, turn lamp on for a few hours to let it dry out 3. You may use a slightly warm cloth to clean your lamp Salt Lamps are available at the office of Dr. Lea Kelley.
