The proof of salt lamps effectiveness

Ionised air also substantially reduces the number of airborne bacteria indoors. A leading microbiologist and experimental pathologist at the University of California, Dr. Albert Krueger, found that even a very small quantity of negative ions could kill bacteria. In addition, crystal salt helps much to cure many diseases.

According to "Journal of Hygiene", scientists showed that ionisation reduced bacterial levels in burns and plastic surgery units by over 96% after a two week period, which results in much better and more rapid healing of patients. "Journal of Applied Microbiology" states that the use of negative ions was even found by scientists to reduce the presence of airborne viruses, by about 40%. A study featured in the 1987 issue also showed the negative ions are free from any adverse side effects.

Due to their beautiful and rich colours, salt lamps are also used in colour therapy, i.e. chromo therapy. Salt lamps have also been appreciated by Feng Shui art connoisseurs. The lamps are hand made from Himalayan salt, taking great care of the natural crystal's beauty. Salt lamps are ideal for daily use near televisions and computers, around smokers, in offices with air-conditioning, and everywhere else where you want to restore or preserve the natural air quality. Himalayan salt lamps are a beautiful and natural alternative to artificial ionisers. Even when the lamps are cool, they have some beneficial effect, but when lamps or tea lights are lit, the gentle heat they produce emits a far higher number of ions. Bio-energy therapists and homeopaths in Europe have recommended crystal salt lamps for a long time to support treatment of allergies, respiratory system and blood system diseases. They are often used in the treatment of rheumatism.
