Natural Ionizer In nature Negative Ions are created by means of wind, sunlight, surf, waterfalls and rainstorms. Generally, a negative ion is an electronically charged molecule made up of oxygen. A positive ion in the air is a molecule that has lost its electrons through process of air pollution. In fresh country air we find up to 3000 negative ions per cubic centimeter - the size of a sugar cube. Near strong surf or close to a waterfall up to 10.000 negative ions can be found, however the number of negative ions in major capital cities at rush hour does not even reach 100 C.C.

We live and work in environment dominated by technology; In our current high-tech lifestyle, we can hardly imagine living without many electric devices, they make it easier to work in office, at home in factories and many other such places.. These convenience devices discharge positive ions in air which are the reason for the deterioration of our physical and emotional well being;

Sources of Harmful Positive Ions are;

	TV Set
	Computer Monitors
	Heating & Cooling System
	Microwave Ovens
	Vacuum Cleaners
	Tobacco Smoke
	High-Voltage Networks

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

Europeans have been aware of the HEALTH BENEFITS of salt for generations, and people suffering from chronic congestive problems go to clinics located in salt mines for treatment! It’s 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.

Ionized air also substantially reduces the number of airborne bacteria indoors. The benefit of ionizers is well known. While most ionizers on the market are man made machines, the salt crystal lamp is a beautiful alternative of mother nature, without any noise and NO harmful OZONE!

Dr. Albert P. Krueger, a microbiologist and experimental pathologist at the University of California, found that an astonishing small quantity of negative ions could kill bacteria and quickly take them out of the air so they were less likely to infect people.
