Some believe that heated salt crystals emit negative ions or positive energy waves into the air. There is, however, no scientific evidence that salt lamps actually give out a measurable amount of \u201cnegative ions\u201d, nor is there any evidence of any health benefits from the lamps<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Do Rock Salt Lamps Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The heat from a lighted salt lamp attracts moisture. The evaporation of water through salt emits negative ions. How many negative ions a salt lamp or salt candle holder can release depends on its size and how warm a match-lit candle or electric light bulb makes it. A night-light sized salt lamp would be effective for an office cubicle. Naturally, the larger an area means a larger lamp is needed so that more more negative ions will be emitted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits of Emitting Negative Ions into Your Living Space<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Increases chi<\/p>\n<p>Eliminates allergens<\/p>\n<p>Reduces affects of SAD<\/p>\n<p>Supports the immune system<\/p>\n<p>Boosts serotonin levels<\/p>\n<p>Improves mental alertness<\/p>\n<p>Promotes general well-being<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/articles\/blog 1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Large crystal rocks, mined in Europe and Asia, are also used as salt lamps.
