Himalayan Salt Lamps have a similar effect to an ionizer and they have many more benefits including improving the general atmosphere of a room. The environment we live in today has far more sources of positive ions than in the past, creating an electrical imbalance in the air and our lives.
Various human activities and electrical appliances produce positive ions which are the reason for the deterioration of our physical and emotional well being including:
- discharge of voltage in high-voltage networks, heating and cooling systems, TVs, radios, transmitters, radar systems, computers, exhausts and cigarette fumes.
- 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 Salt lamps are known for emitting negative ions that are essential for our health and well being.
