Can Salt Lamps Relieve Allergies?
I came across a website selling salt crystal lamps, which are being touted to help relieve allergies (I presume they meant allergies to airborne particles, but they didn't mention).
Salt crystal lamps by attracting moisture from the air, release those negative healthy ions. Those healthy ions gently purify the air by neutralizing bacteria, allergens, dust, so you experience healthier , cleaner air. No ozone, no noise and no filters to replace. They last indefinitely for your well-being.

I suppose they were meant as an alternative to ionic air purifiers which electrically charges air particles and draws them to a kind of metal plate. However, I am extremely skeptical whether these salt lamps really work like that. I believe that part about attracting moisture from the air, but everything else sounds, well... quack.

Has anybody tried these? Do they really work?
