Frequently Asked Questions

Are they safe for Children?    
We highly recommend to replace your normal child night light with a Salt Crystal lamp as they  look gorgeous and the air cleaning effect is marvellous for little minds. You will love them! Place next tot heri bed if they find it to bright we recommend changing the globe from a 15 watt to a 7 watt.  
 
 
Are they safe to leave on all the time?   
We advise like most things to take caution. Leave the lamps on like you would any other  electrical device. Our own lamps we put on for at least 2 hours a day to keep  the salt on the looking nice. The Salt lamps are natural ionisers and they need the  warmth from the globeto do this. Being a natural product you must look after your salt lamp.  
 
 
 
What are the negative ions and the benefits of these ions?     
Negative ions are essential for our health and well being. A few salt crystal lamps placed at strategic spots will enhance the energy and purify the air The freshness of the air after a  thunderstorm, on a mountain top, or by the seaside, are due to the high concentration  of negative ions in the air. On the other hand, the reduced well being one feels in highly  polluted areas, artificially air conditioned offices, or when certain hot dry wind conditions  exist, are usually due to an unduly low negative ion balance  (and therefore high proportion of positive ions). A lamp at your workplace in your office can help improve your concentration and refresh you by neutralising the effects of stress, fatigue and purifying the air.  
 
 
 
What are the effects of the salt lamps?    
Salt Crystal lamps can only have an ionisation effect. However, salt crystal lamps  have many advantages in many aspects and improve the general atmosphere of a room. I have found when recovering from an illness the salt lamp is very comforting as well. Sitting in front of a computer or TV we are presented with an electromagnetic frequency of around 100 to 160 Hz. Our brain waves vibrate at around 8 Hz. This means that while watching TV or working at computer our body is exposed to frequencies that vibrate twenty times faster than our brain waves. The result is a lack of concentration, nervousness and insomnia. Salt crystal lamps bind the excessive positive ions with their negative ions. Salt crystal lamps can also neutralise the electro-smog in the room. Salt lamps though they are not a "medical device", Salt Crystal Lamps, by emitting negative ions, significantly reduce a myriad of indoor air pollutants. Negative ions have known benefits, by having one in your home or office people have given us so many testimonials on how wonderful they are and they cannot live without them! Halotherapy    is a modern version of Speleotherapy ("speleo" in Greek means cave) that utilised actual salt mines as the setting for the therapy. Salt mines and their therapeutic properties have been noted since Hippocrates. According to the old scripts, the medieval monks took the sick to the salt caves and let them breathe in the salt particles, which were created while the monks were crushing the stalactites.  Since the natural salt caves and salt mines are not conveniently located for most people, researchers and scientists attempted to "bring the salt cave   (dry aerosol salt generator). Salt lamps are a similar way of doing this in your home. "Halotherapy is the use of  tons of Himalayan dry rock salt, which creates the special microclimate of the ancient,  underground salt caves. In America and  especially Europe they have been using this therapy since the 1600’s.  Salt also used to be used as a form or currency as it could preserve food . So the salt is vital for people.  

What is a salt lamp?    
Salt Crystal lamps come from the Himalayas as the natural ioniser for people's homes and offices. Beautiful, millions of years old, salt rock crystal, known for its ability to ionise the air, thus enhancing your well being and improving your health. Nature's own air ionisers.
 
What is the specification?    
Salt lamps are powered by a 7watt- 15watt -25watt bulb. They can be positioned anywhere in a room depending on which side of the lamp you like.
What is a Salt lamp?
A salt lamp is simply a chunk of mined salt that has been hollowed out to allow room for a light bulb or tiny candle. The light glows through the medium of the salt crystal, which can range in color from a dark salmon   pink to a pale orange. Salt crystals for salt lamps are mined in Russia and central Europe as well as in the Himalayas. Salt lamps make attractive accent lights. Their main attraction, however, is that the heating of the salt causes the crystal to release negative ions   (often called simply 'ions'). We sell every shape and size of lamp you could imagine at the best possible prices

Why buy a salt lamp?
Each year we sell hundreds of lamps into Australia by mail order and pick up. We ask ourselves what it is why people love them. The warm glow is quite nice the actual light is easy to move around a house in the dark but do they actually work. Non-traditional methods of health care are very popular in our present culture. Some practices once considered ridiculous, such as acupuncture, are now quite acceptable within the mainstream of medical thought. As you can see from our ads on tv! The trends for alternative treatments come and go, and while many are eventually proven to be little but latter day snake oil, some seem to hold promise. To a degree, the health benefits of negative ions fall into this latter category. There is much debate    concerning negative ions, both pro and con, and it is difficult to avoid advertisements touting the wonder of negative ion   generators.   The ion generators may well contribute to good health, however the stridency of the advertising should be taken with a grain of salt. The decision should  be up to the individual you!
One will usually read that ion generators clean the air of dust and dust mites   , and mould spores   . It will often further be stated that negative ions can kill harmful germs and bacteria, and do away with smoke and unwanted odours. Normally, the sales pitch touts the generators as a boon to those who are afflicted with allergies or asthma   . Some models are even equipped with an ultra-violet filter that is supposed to aid in the cleansing process.
The truth of the matter is that negative ion generators do remove a certain amount of particulates from the air. However, several clinical studies have shown that their effectiveness is often exaggerated.
We tested salt lamps ourselves 10 year ago before selling them on the effectiveness of removing pollutants from the air. We got a smoky jacket from a night out at a seedy nightclub. We sealed the room with a 6-8 kg salt lamp all night and there was no smoke in the jacket! We ask you to try this yourself and see the result. We then started to import the lamps and have never looked back!

Some proponents say that negative ions may help those afflicted with depression, moods disorders, chronic fatigue, or seasonal affected disorder. In this case, there have not been enough large scale, clinical studies conducted to either validate or invalidate the efficacy of negative ions. However, some smaller studies do indicate that exposure to negative ions may well increase the levels of serotonin  in the bloodstream. Serotonin is a chemical   produced naturally in the body that leads to mood enhancement. Thus, there is a possibility that negative ions might one day prove to be a valuable tool in combating depression, relieving stress, and boosting energy levels.

What is Himalayan Slat made from?
These differences may have a major impact on your staying healthy.

If you want your body to function properly, you need holistic salt complete with all-natural elements. Today's common table salt has nothing in common with natural salt.

Your table salt is actually 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as moisture absorbents, and iodine. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt.

The Typical Table And Cooking Salt In Your Grocery Store Has Been "Chemically Cleaned"

What remains after typical salt is "chemically cleaned" is sodium chloride -- an unnatural chemical form of salt that your body recognizes as something completely foreign. This form of salt is in almost every preserved product that you eat. Therefore, when you add more salt to your already salted food, your body receives more salt than it can dispose of.


Typical table salt crystals are totally isolated from each other. In order for your body to try to metabolize table salt crystals, it must sacrifice tremendous amounts of energy.

Inorganic sodium chloride can keep you from an ideal fluid balance and can overburden your elimination systems. When your body tries to isolate the excess salt you typically expose it to, water molecules must surround the sodium chloride to break them up into sodium and chloride ions in order to help your body neutralize them. To accomplish this, water is taken from your cells in order to neutralize the unnatural sodium chloride.

This results in a less-than-ideal fluid balance in the cells.

You Are Losing Precious Intracellular Water When You Eat Normal Table Salt

For every gram of sodium chloride that your body cannot get rid of, your body uses 23 times the amount of cell water to neutralize the salt. Eating common table salt causes excess fluid in your body tissue, which can contribute to:

    * Unsightly cellulite
    * Rheumatism, arthritis and gout
    * Kidney and gall bladder stones

When you consider that the average person consumes 4,000 to 6,000 mg of sodium chloride each day, and heavy users can ingest as much as 10,000 mg in a day, it is clear that this is a serious and pervasive issue.

So Why Are Many People Still Using Table Salt?

Because well over 90% of the world's salt is being used directly for industrial purposes that require pure sodium chloride. The remaining percentage is used for preserving processes and ends up on your kitchen table.

With the use of rigorous advertising, the salt industry is successful in convincing you there are actually health advantages to adding potentially toxic iodine and fluoride to salt. In addition, your table salt very often contains potentially dangerous preservatives. Calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and aluminium hydroxide are often added to improve the ability of table salt to pour. Aluminium is a light alloy that deposits into your brain -- a potential cause of Alzheimer's disease.

Get Salt as Nature Intended It -- Pure Himalayan Funky Monkey Crystal Salt

Today's table and cooking salt is void of the vital trace minerals that make this Himalayan crystal salt so precious. Crystal salt has spent over 250 million years maturing under extreme tectonic pressure, far away from exposure to impurities.

The salt's unique structure also stores vibrational energy. All of the crystal salt's inherent minerals and trace elements are available in colloidal form -- meaning they are so small your cells can readily absorb them.

The Crystal Salt from the Himalayas does not burden your body as other salts do. It is very difficult for your body to absorb too much crystal salt since there are powerful and effective feedback loops that regulate this process. Natural crystal salt always promotes a healthy balance and does not contribute to high blood pressure like typical table salt.


    
Funky Monkey is the highest grade of natural salt.
    * Under an electron microscope, crystal salt has a perfect crystalline structure.
    * It is mined by hand and hand-washed.
    * Crystal salt is immune to electromagnetic fields
    * Crystal Salt contains no environmental pollutants.
    * There is no limited shelf life and no need for silica packets to prevent clumping.

Key Minerals in Himalayan Crystal Salt Promote a Healthy Balance in Your Body

Himalayan Crystal Salt is salt in its native form, with all its vibrational energy intact and it helps promote a healthy balance in your body. Promoting balanced electrolytes helps to keep your body in homeostasis -- the balance of chemicals that is conducive to the body's function.

The renowned Frezenius Institute in Europe analyzed the Himalayan Crystal Salt and proved that it has an amazing array of important trace minerals and elements including potassium, calcium and magnesium that help promote a healthy balance by maintaining fluids and replenishing your supply of electrolytes whenever you sweat heavily. (This salt does not supply iodide, a necessary nutrient.)
