Ruth, what are your thoughts on the ionic air purifiers? Do you think they work?

Hi Ria,

Our allergic rhinitis hasn't yet reached to the point to warrant the use of an ionic air purifier, so I don't have personal experience on them.

Empirically, yes, they should work. But as I've written before, you'll have to be careful in choosing your equipment. Some release considerable amount of ozone, which causes similar symptoms as allergic asthma. For more info, check out the Consumer Report's ratings here:

I sell Salt Lamps becasue they are beautiful. To claim that they produce enough Negative Ions to clean the air of allergens is to prey on the jopes of consumers who really need medical assistance and not hocus pocus promises of a cure. Indeed, a Salt Lamp emits Negative Ions, but you would need a bunchh to really prurify the air. At our site www.SaltLampCreations.com, we present both sides of the discussion and hope that people will enjoy the fact that this 100 million year old Salt Crystal can be illuminated from within to create a most beautiful addition to any room in their house. If there are ANY positive Health Benefits than those are just a plus!

I purchased a salt lamp and would agree with Jerry's post. They make a beautiful piece for your room but I notice no allergy relief. I also tried the edible salts but can't say anything for them either. http://www.himalayansaltstore.net
has great prices and is where I bought my lamp.

I bought two salt lamps, one for my husband and one for my son. They both have allergies and both could "smell" the lamp as soon as they walked in the house. My other two sons and I(who do not have allergies) can not "smell" the salt lamb. My husband and son say the lamps do seem to help with headaches and can sleep better. I keep them on in their bedrooms 24/7. Which is great for them but as for me, I wish I had never bought them. The reason: I can not sleep with the bedroom illluminated in orange light all night. Actually I think the glowing orange light is starting to make me agitated! I agree that the orange illumination is very pretty, but I want to turn it off at bedtime. My husband loves to leave the light on all night. His claims he sleeps better and no longer wakes with a headache.

If I leave it on in the bedroom with the door closed all day but turn it off at bedtime will he still get the same benefits he claims? Sleepless in Oklahoma
