Negative Ions are oxygen
atoms with an extra electron, and they can help
you feel better.
Negative ions can be found in nature,
concentrated in air by the billions; on mountain
tops after thunder storms, near water falls,
forests, and by the sea. Negative Ions give the
air its invigorating freshness. "The normal Ion count in fresh country air is
2,000 to 4,000 negative Ions per cubic
centimeter (about the size of a sugar cube). At
Yosemite Falls, you'll experience over 100,000
negative Ions per cubic centimeter. On the other
hand, the level is far below 100 per cubic
centimeter on the Los Angeles freeways during
rush hour." Today, the health benefits of Negative
Ionizers are well recognized all over the world.
While most ionizers on the market are man-made
machines, the Salt Crystal Lamps are a
beautiful, less costly, maintenance free,
natural alternative of Mother Nature's to
improve air quality. With time, the Salt Crystal
Lamps will not reduce in size, color or shape,
and will not lose weight, or their ionizing
effect.

Scientific tests have revealed that the ratio
of negative to positive ions should be between
1.02 to 0.98 and the air's composition of
negative ions should range between
1000-1500/cm3. Measurements have shown that the
number of negative ions decreases to 200/cm3 in
a closed room containing several people The impact of negative ions is powerful.
Originally, it was found to speed recovery in
burn or asthma patients, but was later
discovered to affect serotonin levels in the
bloodstream, stabilize alpha rhythms and to
positively impact our reactions to sensory
stimulant. The greater level of alertness can
translate into improved learning, improved well
being and enhanced human performance on mental
tasks. Ionized air also substantially reduces the
number of airborne bacteria indoors.
Dr. Albert P. Krueger, a microbiologist and
experimental pathologist at the University of
California, found that an astonishing small
quantity of negative ions could kill bacteria
and quickly take them out of the air so they
were less likely to infect people.
