Himalayan Crystal Salt has been reported in the book, Water and Salt , written by Barbara Hendel M.D. and biophysicist Peter Ferreira as having the same 84 elements that make up our bodies. Life on earth is not possible without salt. Most salt consumed today only consists of two elements, Sodium and Chloride. This is because the salt chemical cleaning process has stripped most of the original healthy elements away. Our Salt Crystal products are not tainted by any such methods and will always be the way the earth made them, natural.

Salt is plentiful because of our oceans. They cover over 70% of the earth's surface. Unfortunately, they have allowed man to travel, explore and ultimately pollute the world's great frontier. Most alarming is that our oceans are now contaminated with heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic.

Rock crystal salt and rock salt lamps are made up from salt that originated from oceans millions of years old, which were free of any man made contaminants. Himalayan natural rock salt is actually Ancient Sea Salt.

For years now Chi Evolution has been selling Natural Himalayan Salt Lamps and crystal rock salt products. We have heard stories of the Himalayan salt lamp's amazing and unique benefits. One customer informed us that the use of Himalayan natural bath salts cured her baby of diaper rash, when all other creams and drugs her doctors suggested failed to give relief. Another customer swore by the ionizing salt lamp effect for combating allergies. We heard stories of speleotherapy sessions in the Polish Salt mines.

Another customer swore by the ionizing salt lamp effect for combating allergies. We heard stories of speleotherapy sessions in the Polish Salt mines.

Speleotherapy is the practice of submersing the human body in a salt cave, which benefits the body from the high concentration of elemental crystal salt. This is believed to help many respiratory illnesses and cure chronic skin conditions. In fact, speleotherapy is commonly used in the world famous Ukrainian Allergologic Hospital and has been successful in curing over 50,000 patients from chronic illnesses.

What is it about Crystal Salt Lamps that are helping so many people? It is reported that Salt Lamps have a similar effect to an Ionizer. Salt crystals are said to naturally ionize the surrounding air.

How does this help people? It is reported that the fresh air found after thunderstorms and near waterfalls is based on the high air permeability of Negative Ions. Having a healthy concentration of Negative Ions can clear the air of nasty pollutants that cause illness and disease.

So how does your Himalayan Natural Salt Lamp actually emit Negative Ions? Our understanding is the emission of ions is caused by the alternating actions of the crystal rock salt's ability to absorb water, and then evaporate into the air.

A heated salt crystal lamp will attract water molecules from the air, forming a NaCl and H20 solution. Sodium is a positive ion, and Chloride, a negative ion. Hydrogen has a two part negative charge and Oxygen is a positively charged ion. These ions create a reaction of two positive ions and three negative ions. After canceling each other out, one lone negative ion is produced. This negative ion seeks out the first positive ion like a dust, or bacteria particle and zaps it. This is the process of positive ion reduction and is how our Himalayan Salt Lamps work.

We are not scientists but many customers swear by the Salt Crystal's healing ability, claiming relief from the common cold, the curing of skin problems, mental health disorders, respiratory illness, headaches, migraines and much much more. I guess what we like best is that these original salt lamps are the most exquisite and naturally pure lights we have every seen. We hope you will find everything we love in yours.

What is a Cobblestone Walkway: A Cobblestone Walkway also known as a foot reflexology mat is a lightweight, portable tool used to apply acupressure from the body's own weight, to the reflex points of the foot. The Cobblestone walkway is designed to emulate ancient stone reflexology pathways found throughout Asia.

What is Foot Reflexology: Foot Reflexology is a non-invasive natural healing art form, which is gaining widespread popularity. Foot Reflexology is an applied pressure therapy that involves stimulating reflex points on the foot. The foot acts as a map of the entire body, where the reflex points correspond to vital organs, muscles and glands. Over time, gravity causes a substance called uric acid to settle in reflex points of the foot. Uric acid, when concentrated, produces a cord, or granule like bubble that may be painful upon stimulation. This may be a sign that pure and healthy blood flow is unable to circulate to the rest of the body.

In many Asian medical systems, this is known as a 'stagnation' of 'energy' or 'chi'. Without the proper flow of energy, the mind and body connection is affected, leading to an ill state of health. By stimulating the reflex points and nerve endings of the foot, the uric acid can be broken down, and the stagnant energy released. This process helps to increase blood circulation and metabolism, thereby reducing the stress and workload upon the heart. It has also been known to help regulate hormone imbalances via nerve/brain pathways, thus creating a sense of calm, energy, clarity and vitality.

• Offers a deep sense of relaxation.
• Can Improve Circulation.
• Naturally helps cleanse the body of toxins and impurities.
• Is thought to help regulate hormone imbalances.
• Is reported to control the perception of pain by stimulating the release of endorphins.
• Has been known to help with insomnia, sinusitis, allergies, fatigue, stress, anxiety, digestion, and much more!

Research:

In a recent study conducted by the Oregon Research Institute (ORI), Cobblestone Footpath exercise has demonstrated an improvement in physical function and reduction in blood pressure to a greater extent than conventional walking in older adults. Bastyr University in Washington has built a new Cobblestone Footpath studded with jutting and smooth river stones, to study the benefits of Cobblestone exercise. Studies report that stress related symptoms and illness contribute to nearly 60-70% of the visits to primary care physicians. Reflexology can be beneficial in stress reduction as well as pain management, by accelerating the bodies own natural healing ability.
