Title: Salt Lamps
Post by: Butterbean on December 16, 2008, 07:06:38 PM
Anyone heard of these?  I got my mom one who is a smoker and she put it in her bedroom and believes it has helped her sinuses from the first night even though she is the biggest cynic I know.



From a salt lamp site www.saltlampforless.com:

"The air we breathe in is composed of positive charge molecules and negative charge molecules known as positive ions and negative ions respectively. Ironically the environment we live has positive ions in plenty and this makes it more polluted, the positive ions are emitted by television transmitters and sets, computers and cigarettes making the environment miasmic to live in. to have a balance of ions in the environment all that we need is to have negative ions in an equal proportion. Rock salt crystal is the most efficient and ideal negative ions emitter source that helps to improve the air quality by reducing the smog in the air. Negative ions tend to clear out the air from contaminates like dust, pollen, odor, animal dander, in addition negative ions source can relieve the symptoms like depression, seasonal effective disorder, asthma and chronic fatigue. Negative ions are highest in proportion near the moving water, perhaps therefore at beach and near the waterfall we feel exuberant and pleased.

Every single product that Salt Lamp For Less carries comes from the Foothills of Himalayan mountains. Each lamp is hand picked and carved by expert craftsmen. We give high preference to quality so our customers can have a peace of mind when they buy from us.

Our Salt products are 100% from Himalayan Mountains. These beautiful salt lamps comes in a range of colors. The shades vary from a light pink to an orange to a deep red. These colors are natural and each lamp varies in color. There is a brunette Rosewood base that is attached to the bottom of the lamp to create a finished look. A UL Safety approved light cable with a convenient on/off switch is attached to the base of the lamp.

Available in 4 different sizes. Suitable for different size rooms. An attractive Natural Shaped Salt crystal lamps will restore natural air quality and reduce the airborne pollutants. They give relief from hay fever, sinus problems, allergies, asthma attacks and increase alertness in electro polluted areas such as near computers."

Yes, my local health food store carries a whole bunch of them. They're great for ionizing the air.
Very beneficial to both mind & body. The salt itself is also great for food as well, ...much better than the typical Morton's you'd find in the grocery store.

A HEPA filter would be much better (& safer but that still seems be being debated).   I have a feature on my HEPA filters for both positive and negative ions but I don't use it because I question the safety around the birds who are much more sensitive to air quality and changes.

If one of those puppies was ever available, I would've been all over it.  I'm sure they were spoken for upon conception.

It's not that I want a Sheba Inu in particular, but after watching their upbringing, they appear to be so "well adjusted".

No,I'm sorry,they don't look anything like that.More like a misshapen sphere with branches coming out on all sides.Like I said,very difficult to dig up without damaging them.
