Salt Lamps
A salt lamp releases healthy negative ions from the surface as the lit bulb warms up the salt lamp, to cleanse and improve the quality and freshness of the air you breathe and the beautiful glow creates an atmosphere of tranquility.
There is now scientific evidence on the many health benefits of including negative ions in your environment.
Our surroundings are dominated by the technology of so called 'conveniences' of computers, televisions, copy machines, printers, microwave ovens, air conditioners and heaters, just to name a few. These conveniences emit excessive amounts of positive ions into the air we breath, which can result in mental and physical exhaustion and effect overall wellness.
Perhaps you have noticed that your feeling of well being is intensified in pure mountain air, at the seashore, by a waterfall or after a thunderstorm. This is due to the higher concentration of negative ions in these surroundings.
Their benefits apply to the following:
In Your Home: Use these lamps in bedrooms, children & baby rooms, living rooms, hall ways or anywhere else where you want to create a tranquil, cozy, relaxing and serene atmosphere.
Office and Computer Users: Place a Salt Crystal Lamp near your computer to reduce fatigue and EMF (electro magnetic pollution) created by office equipment. The lamp will also improve your concentration.

I have a Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamp on my desk and it emits a pleasant glow. I can feel the lovely energy emanating from it and am quite happy that I purchased one. I may even consider buying more, so I highly recommend them.
You can find a decent one for as cheap as $20.00 if you know where to look, but they usually run between $30-$60. Lamps carved in shapes and in bigger sizes cost more.
