I spend 8 to 10 hours every day in front of my computer screen...on top of that the tv is usually always running in the next room, my husband smokes like a chimeny, we have cats and a dog....so with all of these allergens in the air i know my house is FULL of positive ions....
I know there are certain plants you can put in your house that give off negative ions but i have never been good at keeping any plants alive for very long so i was looking for an alternative to that...
Ionic breeze air ionizers are just too expensive....I did find a small thing that you can plug into a wall outlet that is suppose to emit a huge amount of negative ions but it has no aesthetic value at all and it was over 50 dollars..
So I came across these himalayan salt lamps and they are supposed to emit negative ions as well....
I think they are beautiful and wouldnt mind getting one just for that reason but i was wondering if any of you have one of these and if so do you notice any difference in the quality of the air in the area where you have it or any difference in your mood, health, alergies etc?

hmm the add comment button seems to have dissapeared from the original discussion so I am posting it here instead...
Anyway I got mine from wal mart...ordered it online and it came to the store near my house (site to store) free shipping so the total I paid was $20
This thing is soo pretty I would buy it just for that but i have had it about 2 and a half months now and i have to say i do notice a big difference.....
I have it close to my computer because that is where i spend most of my time and i always used to get really sleepy after a couple hours on the comp and now i dont...and i always feel better when i am at my comp then when i am in the living room or whatever...I often have to use my inhaler when i am in the living room but not in my computer area...so I guess they really do clean the air...as soon as i can i will be getting a couple more!

I never heard of such a thing. I wonder if that would help my MIL. She has about the worst airborne allergies I've ever seen.
