Q- What are Himalayan Salt Lamps?
Plain and simple a salt lamp is simply a chunk of hand mined salt that has been hollowed out and hand carved to allow room for a light bulb or tiny candle. The light glows through the medium of the salt crystal, which can range in color from a dark salmon pink to a pale orange to white. Salt crystals for salt lamps and other products are mined in the depths of the Himalayans the salt is over 250 million (yes million) years old. Salt lamps make attractive accent lights and add a instant serene ambiance to any area. Their main attraction, however, is that the heating of the salt that causes the crystal salt to release negative ions.
Negative ions have long been considered healthy; the sea air, mountain air and the air around swift running waters are all high in negative ions. Indoor air, recirculated air, and air around electronic equipment is very low in negative ions. Many office workers who suffer health problems and have complaints being around fluorescent lighting and computer monitors (i.e. electronic smog) report considerably less fatigue and headaches if the concentration of negative ions in the air is increased. It has been shown that negative ions in the air bind with airborne pollutants, making them heavier so that they fall to the ground, and therefore are unavailable to be inhaled. Many modern air purifiers - the so-called 'ionic air cleaners' - use this technique to provide cleaner indoor air for allergy sufferers. Some studies seem to indicate that an increase in negative ions in the air increases blood flow to the brain, which would have the effect of improved concentration. The salt lamp is an attractive natural alternative to the utilitarian look of an air purifier.
The amount of negative ions a salt lamp can release depends on its size and how warm the candle or light bulb can make it. The larger the crystal, obviously, the more expansive area the lamp will cover and provide with negative ions. Salt lamps that produce 'night-light' amounts of light can provide ions to an area equal to the average office cubicle. so we think even if you just like the looks of the lamp don't worry about the rest and its not a machine so you have to clean it out or read instructions on how to replace a part, its just a gift from nature that's beautiful and doing its job.
Q- What is a negative ion and how does negative ions affect us?
Most of the time negative means bad but in this case roles are reversed.
We have all seen Ionizers or negative ion generators. These produce negative ions. But how? Under the action of a high voltage corona discharge or ultraviolet UV-C light, an atom such as oxygen when in the air gains an electron, and it becomes negatively charged. This oxygen atom is now a negative ion, and promotes a very desirable condition. But, when an atom of oxygen loses an electron, it lacks a negative charge, and is therefore positive. This atom with an electron missing is now a positive ion, which is an undesirable condition.
Your salt lamp constantly charges the ions around you to keep them negative. Our salt lamps are scientifically proven to produce negative ions. So you can enjoy a relaxing light with fresh air quality.
Q- What are Salt Crystal Lamps?
Salt Crystal Rock is over 250 million years old and has a natural ability to improve our air quality by enriching the air with healthful "Negative Ions" as mentioned above those are ~Oxygen atoms with extra electrons~. Salt Crystal Lamps and Candle Holders are individually handcrafted and are from the purest rock salt in the world. The salt is excavated from the finest and oldest mines in the foothills of Himalayas. This salt is uncontaminated and pure. The amount of it uses are very large from lamps to food grade its becoming very popular in the health industry and with health care professionals.
Q- Where can these lamps be used?
Salt crystal lamps are highly suitable for daily use in the whole house. A Salt Crystal Lamp in your vicinity will help your wellness and keep the air around you healthful, clean, ionized naturally, and energetic. Best recommended in bed rooms, in living rooms, in dining rooms, in the hall way, in meditation rooms, near televisions, near computers and around smokers. A lamp at work can help improve your concentration and refresh you, minimizing the effects of fatigue, stress, artificial lights, artificial air environment, and the radiations from office equipments particularly the monitor's radiation. some of the areas that give off dangerous positive ions include~

Q- What are the special care instructions that are recommended for my lamps?
Salt has hygroscopic properties, which means that it draws water from the surrounding atmosphere. Salt Crystal Lamps should therefore never be sprinkled with water. Keep in a dry environment at all times. Lamp should not be placed outdoors. Sometime, in particularly moist or humid conditions, the lamp surface may be slightly damp to the touch. Lighting it for a few hours dries it very quickly. It is recommended that you keep your lamp turned on every day for the best air purifying results, and you can leave your lamp on for as long as possible. This will not only maintain a constant negative ionizing process, but also repel excess moisture build up around the lamp. To remove dust, use only a damp (not soaking wet) cotton cloth or sponge.
Q- Where will I use my natural Himalayan salt lamp?
The benefits of the lamps have been noted in many reports from health practitioners to everyday people that see a change in their mind, body or spirit. Here is a list of where to try your lamp.
~~~In the office to promote energy and positive atmosphere.
~~~In the room of a ill person.

~~~In the baby's room for a nightlight and keeping the air fresh.
~~~For a meditation or massage room to created a balance, peace and relaxation.
~~~Anywhere in the house to create a warm atmosphere or remove danders, pollens and unwanted smells.
~~~Use our rock candles by the bathtub to give a tranquil setting for relaxing and unwinding
~~~By the computer and other office electronics to zap the electric smog that makes us drained and tired.
~~~In wellness facilities to promote natural health.
~~~Smoke filled places
~~~Restaurants to create atmosphere and ambiance while purifying the air.
 
Observations with the moon rhythm have shown that the best results can be achieved when taking a sole bath at the time of moon change. At full moon, the body absorbs the most minerals from the bath, whereas at new moon, the body detoxifies the most. As a saltwater bath: Approximately 2 punds of crystal salt to 28 gallons of water makes a one percent brine solution.
Full Moon Bathing
On the day/evening of the Full Moon the bodies ability to heal is at its peak and so is its absorption potential. On a full moon, your body will absorb the most minerals from bathing in the salt. As the salt is reintroducted to water and returns to its natural state the minerals penetrate your body and are absorbed into the skin in the form of ions. Your bioenergetic weak points are then harmonized and your body's own energy flow will be activated
New Moon Bath
On the day/evening of the New Moon, the body's abilit to detox is at its highest peak and so is its cleansing potential. So this is a perfect time for doing a cleansing salt bath. As the saltwater and the body meet the saltwater bath creates a deslagging effect, similar to a 3-day fast effect. A light adjustment and decontamination of the body are supported and allows the body to remove any toxic build up be that enviromental or physical or emotional.
Instructions:
Place 2 lbs (1 bag) of Sea Above Us Himalayan Salt into your bathtub and adjust enough hot water to cover the salt. After about half an hour the salt will have dissolved. (you may also stir the water to dissolve the salt faster). Subsequently fill up the bathtub with a maximum of 26-28 gallons of water. If you have a bigger bathtub you can use up to two bags of Sea Above Us Himalayan Salt.
*Don't use any chemical substance (ie essential oils) in this special bath.
Bathe about 15 to 20 minutes in the sole'. Allow the mineral materials to penetrate and be absorbed into the skin in the form of ions. At this time Bio-energetic weak points are harmonized and the body's own energy flow is activated. The saltwater bath has a deslagging effect, similar to a four-day chamfering cure. Weight adjustment and decontamination of the body are supported. You can experience this saltwater bath to be exactly as floating in the original embryonic solution. After the bath do not towel or rub dry but let the skin air dry naturally.
*As with any new home solution please consut your physician before the start any new program.
