HARMFUL EFFECTS OF POSITIVE IONS
The most dangerous levels of harmful positive ions occur in the polluted, large industrial and heavily populated cities. Exhaust fumes from cars, trucks, and buses; factory smoke, cigarette smoke, dust and soot, electromagnetic pollution, and overall atmospheric pollution caused by air and sea crafts; all combine to create a mixture of Harmful Positive Ions, and reduces the proportion of beneficial negative ions in our surroundings. This gradually affects our lungs, can ruin our health and cause general lethargy and depression.

Negative Ions give the air its invigorating freshness and reduce the number of airborne bacteria, which is so beneficial to us. Although negative ion theory is by no means mainstream, many health practitioners in Europe, North America, Australia and Japan use the Salt Crystal Lamps extensively in their recommended treatments of allergies, neuralgia, hypertension, respiratory problems, rheumatism, kidney or liver conditions & hormonal imbalance, sinus, migraine headaches, blood system diseases, to reduce the asthma attacks, enhance the immune system, increase alertness, increase work productivity, increase lung capacity, reduce susceptibility to colds and flu, and for color therapy.
Salt crystal lamps help breath more comfortably to the people suffering with Asthma, Respiratory problem and Chronic Bronchitis.
Salt crystal lamps boost the number of negative ions in the room. Excessive negative ions are essential for high energy and positive mood. Bioenergetics vibrations improve the energy level and strengthen one's nervous system, harmonize the function of sexual glands, and even help to promote sexual energy. That's why people suffering from chronic congestive problems go to clinics located in salt mines for treatment. It is called SPELEOTHERAPY. The very dry, negative ion-rich environment of these salt mines helps to clear out the patients' bronchial tubes and sinuses, and to kill bacteria and other microbes. Others, including many from the USA, swim/float in the salt and mineral rich Dead Sea in Israel.
