2000 years ago, the Himalayan Mountains revealed one of their deepest and oldest secrets: A 250 million year old natural salt crystal deposit. The pink salt crystal is hand chipped from the mine and shaped by local artisans into unique lamps and candle holders. The translucent crystal, once lit emits negative ions that naturally refresh the air while casting a beautiful glow. A scientific study has shown that the lit salt lamp or candle holder increases the negative ion count by up to 600% (Alpha Lab, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT, USA). The benefits of salt therapy are well known in Europe where there are many salt spas. Some of them have been in operation since the mid 1800s. This traditional healing therapy is now being introduced in the United States where its positive effects on health are felt and endorsed by thousands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are "negative ions"?
Negative ions are oxygen atoms with an extra electron. Ions are charged particles that are formed by nature when enough energy acts upon a molecule. An electron is ejected leaving a positively charged ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged ion. In fresh country air it is common to find up to 4000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. By contrast, it is common to find that the number of negative ions in major cities at rush hour is less than 100.

What are the effects of negative ions?
They cause harmful microscopic particles (particulates) in the air to clump together then weigh them down to the floor. Particulates include all forms of air pollution (smoke, chemical odors, carbon monoxide, bacteria, viruses, mold, etc.) Negative ions in the environment create a powerful antidote for many environmentally induced health problems such as allergies, respiratory ailments, headaches and infections.

What size should an Ionic Salt Crystal Lamp be to give the best results?
A rough rule of thumb is 1 pound for every 10 square feet. Here is what is recommended:

Room Size	Lamp Size
Cubicle	4-6 lbs.
10' x 10'	7-11 lbs
10' x 15'	12-15 lbs.
10' x 20'	16-23 lbs.

For optimal results in large rooms, several lamps should be strategically placed throughout the room.

What therapeutic uses of crystal salt are there?
Speleotherapy is a therapy that is unique to caves and mines for treating respiratory illnesses. It was originated in Poland in the 1950’s when it was noticed that salt miners rarely suffered from tuberculosis. It is a common treatment in eastern and central Europe, but almost unknown elsewhere. The most well-known hub for speleotherapy treatment is the Ukrainian Allergologic Hospital in Solotvyno. The hospital is located nearly 1,000 feet below the earth’s surface in a former salt mine. Its staff reports a 90% effective rate in reducing asthma symptoms for up to three years.
