Himalayan salt lamps are increasing in popularity, thanks to their distinct health properties. These lamps are highly decorative, enhancing both your home and your health.

Some other natural producers of negative ions are lightening, the ocean and waterfalls. When you are exposed to negative ions, you may feel more energetic, happy and alive.
