We have researched the health benefits of negative ions in the
air. After reading the book, "The Ion Effect" by Fred
Soyka, we thought that the negative ions might be beneficial
to my father, Howard, who was in a serious auto accident in July
2006 and sustained a traumatic brain injury. Negative ions in
the air have been reported to improve oxygen to the brain, alter
brain waves, and stimulate mental alertness. We have seen a definite
improvement in my father's condition since adding salt lamps
and ionizers to our home. Negative ions benefit us in many ways
and not just mentally. Polish Salt Lamps emit negative ions and
are a natural way to increase negative ions to the air in a home.
Not all salt lamps emit the desired radius of ions but we were
fortunate to find a reliable source of quality Polish salt lamps.
Please visit our friends at Solay
