Negative Ions
This benefit of Salt Lamps is produced by heating salt crystal, thus, when salt crystal is heated, it emits negative ions. In fact, salt crystal is known to be one of the most efficient transmitters of negative ions which cleanse the air by causing particles in the air to become heavy, clump together and fall to the floor. This helps to reduce the presence of pollen, dust particles and other allergens in the air that may cause respiratory problems.
