Allergens, poisons, and other pollutants are meant to be drawn to the 
surface of the salt lamp. It is able to expel negative ions. Some people 
think that breathing in negative ions is healthy. Molecules that have 
undergone a change in charge are known as ions. The negative ions now 
possess one more electron. One positive ion was lost.
We are surrounded by ions. Some are caused by asteroids travelling 
toward Earth. Others are created nearby, through radiation, sunshine, 
lightning, or the collision of water droplets in a cascade.
After a storm, some people report feeling calmer and clearer, which 
they attribute to the presence of negative ions in the atmosphere. 
Negatively charged ions are also produced by commercial ionizers and 
filtration systems to generate cleaner, more comfortable
Mood and Sleep
Positive ions are thought by some to exacerbate unpleasant 
emotions like anxiety and moodiness. Negatives, so the theory 
goes, reduce tension, alleviate anxiety, uplift spirits, and enhance 
overall wellbeing.
Serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in feelings of well-
being, has been shown to change in concentrations in studies on 
mice and rats.
Negative ions were found to have minimal impact on anxiety levels 
or sleep quality in certain human trials, although they did 
modestly lessen depression.
Clean Air.
To some extent, negative ions can remove airborne 
contaminants that are toxic. The ions eliminate pollutants 
when they gather in bacteria or pollen. 
Although the precise mechanism is unknown and some 
experts contend that other factors may be at play, studies 
indicate that both negative and positive ions have the ability 
to kill germs. There is, however, no proof that salt lamps have 
this effect.
