One of the newly emerging branches of therapy today is salt therapy. Throughout history, pure, unrefined rock salt has been recognized for its antibacterial and antimicrobial benefits deep within the lungs. In recent years, visits to salt caves around the world for respiratory illnesses and natural asthma treatment have increased due to the incredible healing properties of natural salt air. Salt therapy, a method used in many countries, is expected to see even more examples in our country in the coming years. Salt therapy is also known as "HALOTHERAPY". Known as a salt room or sometimes a salt cave, this therapy is designed especially for people suffering from respiratory and skin problems ranging from eczema and allergies to asthma. Clinical tests have proven that salt therapy is effective in relieving various symptoms of respiratory and skin diseases. These breathing exercises, performed in a completely salt-filled environment, visibly accelerate the healing process of patients being treated for respiratory problems. On the other hand, the antidepressant properties of salt also help in the treatment of depression, a disease of our time. If you suffer from these and similar problems, you can try salt therapy. Dry salt aerosol therapy can be safely used in conjunction with existing medications and treatments, providing you with unprecedented relaxation.
Handmade salt lamps, crafted from Himalayan salt mines – a 250-million-year-old energy source – are natural ionizers. Their natural ionizing properties produce negative ions, or "air vitamins," improving the quality of the air we breathe and counteracting the harmful effects of positive ions from modern devices (cell phones, computers, base stations, WLAN networks, etc.). While not a medical device, Himalayan salt lamps alleviate fatigue, stress, asthma attacks, various allergies, headaches, menstrual cramps, skin conditions, and reduce humidity and odor in the air. They create a relaxing sleep environment, helping patients with mental and psychological problems. Positive ions in the air refer to molecules that have lost electrons due to air pollution. In a closed room with several people present, the number of negative ions does not decrease by more than 200/cm³. In large cities, this rate drops below 100/cm³, especially during rush hour. The production of positively charged airborne particles, known as ions, creates significant imbalances in the environment we live in and breathe. Positive ions are produced by indispensable elements of technological life such as cigarettes, harmful gases, communication networks, power lines, satellites, televisions, computers, mobile phones, air conditioners, and fans, to name a few. These positive ions penetrate deep into our lungs, causing fatigue and weakness, weakening our immune system, leading to loss of concentration, anxiety, migraines, insomnia, and psychological disorders, as well as causing asthma and many other respiratory problems. A negative ion is generally an electronically altered molecule composed of oxygen. Negative ions are naturally created by wind, sunlight, waves, waterfalls, and heavy rain. The refreshing, relaxing air after a storm on the coast or high in the mountains is due to the excessive concentration of negative ions in the air. Scientists have found that the composition of negative ions in the air should generally be between 1000 and 1500 cm³. If there is no balance in the environment, no living thing can survive. Numerous positive ions must be in balance with negative ions. Salt lamps and candles achieve this. The heat produced by the bulb in salt lamps releases negative ions into the air. These lamps and candle holders absorb excessive electromagnetic radiation produced by the electrical system.
Scientific Research on Himalayan Salt Lamps
According to scientific research, Himalayan crystal salt lamps have been observed to increase negative ions by up to 300%. Thanks to the ionized air, bacteria in the air are reduced, providing clean and healthy air. According to Dr. Albert Krueger, a microbiologist and pathologist at the University of California, even very small amounts of negative ions in the air can kill bacteria.
Himalayan salt lamps eliminate dust, pollen (weed, grass, tree, and grass pollen), animal dander, dust particles, and bacteria from cigarette smoke in the air you breathe. They purify and freshen the air, preventing problems like mold spores, hay fever, and asthma, reducing odors and alleviating seasonal ailments. Furthermore, thanks to negative ions, they eliminate symptoms of depression and chronic fatigue, and help with sleep problems and snoring.
