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 Wellness. Their web site features many crystal salt products and shipping is a low flat rate.
