What is the use of the salt lamp for children and adults

The discovery of the ancients who used salt caves and the sea coast to treat bronchitis, asthma, and ENT diseases was taken up by doctors, creating a new direction - halotherapy. But not everyone has the time and energy to go to special rooms in search of health. Designers elegantly solved the problem, combining the benefit and the external effect, creating salt lamps.

Product Description

Everything ingenious is simple, with a cap of plates, halite crystals of different colors, a light bulb or a candle is covered. Salt is mined in the highlands of the Himalayas, where the effects of human activity are minimized. Often the splinter is not even processed, leaving the original natural form. As a result of uniform heating, the ions of the components that make up the crystal begin to liberate. The complete effect is to saturate the air with substances that are close in composition to the marine climate, when inhaled, they have a beneficial effect on the body, increasing immunity and relieving pulmonary spasms that provoke coughing and difficulty breathing.

In the color scheme, priority is given to warm colors:

• golden;
• orange
• pale red.

Such shades have a calming effect on a subconscious level. A psychological effect is added to the physiotherapeutic effect. You can leave the lamp in working condition all night, and it will serve as a night lamp.

Properties of salt crystals and their action

Gradual heating creates optimal conditions for the release of nutrients. The lamp is recommended for enhancing children's health, especially with a tendency to allergies, frequent colds, during flu epidemics.

Halotherapy is useful for:

• diseases of the upper respiratory tract;
• asthma attacks;
• emotional excitability;
• insomnia;
• low immunity.

It has long been observed that a person calms down and relaxes by observing water and fire. This has led to a fashion for home aquariums. Everyone chooses for themselves the design and inhabitants of the mini reservoir. It also happens with luminous elements. For some, it is more pleasant to look at an unprocessed lump, while others need a graceful framing of the lamp. The benefits in both cases are exactly the same.

Please note: the crystal lattice of the mineral is able to partially neutralize the harmful radiation of household appliances. Negatively charged ions Na, J, Cl, purify the air, ionize the space.

Indications for use

The first commandment of the doctor is "do no harm." In cases with a salt lamp, the body decides how many volatile ions it needs for the healing process to begin. Side effects are practically not observed, and the beneficial effect is visible after a few sessions. It is noticed that the salt lamp burning in the room:

When inhaling air saturated with sodium ions, there is a decrease in inflammatory processes in the lungs, maxillary sinuses, and larynx. The severity and number of diseases of tonsillitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, rhinitis, sinusitis is reduced. This does not mean that with a serious illness you can do without pharmaceutical preparations, but the recovery period will be much shorter.

Rules for careful use

Salt absorbs water powerfully, the structure becomes loose, quickly collapses. Therefore, the proximity to the aquarium is undesirable, no matter how beautiful they look next. Do not put it near the kettle, in the kitchen, in the bathroom. If suddenly damping has occurred, you will have to transfer it to a dry place and leave for a day. After that, you can use it again in normal mode.

The power source is the power grid, it will not work far from the outlet. If third-party deposits appear, the lamp is dried again, excess fragments are removed, wiped with a slightly damp cloth and it is ready to work again. A fragile salt crystal will not survive for several decades, and 2-3 years, with careful use and observance of the basic rules, will protect the inhabitants from insidious microbes.
