The warmth and glow from the tea light candle bring about a wonderful reaction with the natural crystal salt.

Himalayan salt tea candle holders improve air quality in our homes at low cost by turning positively ionized air into negatively ionized air. But what exactly does this mean? An ion is an atom or group of atoms that carries a positive or a negative charge. Computers, TVs, air conditioning, smoke etc. produce positive ionized air, which has a detrimental effect on our health. A sign of positive ionized air is “stuffiness” and a tendency to suffer more often from colds and chronic respiratory ailments.

There is nothing negative or unhealthy about negative ions. Negative ions are beneficial for the human body while positive ions are harmful. In fact, you will find the highest concentrations of negative ions in natural, clean air. Nature produces negative ions to combat air pollution. They attract the harmful particles, which are positively charged, and they balance and neutralize them, so that they lose their damaging characteristics.



Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments. Think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.

THE IMPORTANCE OF NEGATIVE IONS AND THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF A HIMALAYAN.

1. Purifying the air: It is absolutely true that the salt candle holders are hygroscopic: they do suck water vapor from the air. Salt in the air has long been seen as a health booster, and sea air has been proven to help clear the airways.
2. Reduce asthma and allergy symptoms: Candle holders are said to filter microscopic mold, mildew, dust, and pet dander particles from indoor air. People swear that adding one or two Salt Holders to their room helped alleviate allergy symptoms tremendously. Even asthma sufferers claim to benefit from it.
3. Improve breathing: Studies show that negative ions increase cilial activity while positive ions have a negative effect. In other words, more negative ions in the air means your lungs are kept cleaner from foreign particles
4. Increase energy levels: Because positive ions sap your body of energy  the amount of negative ions emitted sufficient and are the energizing effects of being in nature solely caused by negative ions or are there other factors such as beautiful scenery, fresh air etc.
5. Helps you sleep better: The theory is that over-exposure to positive ions in the air lead to a reduction of blood and oxygen supply to the brain resulting in irregular sleep patterns.
6. Negative ions will improve your mood: Studies demonstrate that negative ions can definitely benefit people suffering from seasonal depression (SAD), and may help other forms of depression too.

NEGATIVE IONS IMPACT THE AIR YOU BREATHE

Ever breathe and experience the air around a thunderous waterfall … on a serene mountain top … at a pulsating seashore … or after a wild thunderstorm?Remember how fresh the air felt and how easy it was for you to breathe? Well, what you experienced was likely the result of negative ions.The rush of negative ions helps neutralize and balance the positive ions. Many published articles and scientific studies report how negative ions in the air can have positive effects. One demonstration of that is how they potentially increase the growth rate of certain plants.

In most of these studies, sophisticated negative ion generators were used in controlled group environments—not something you can readily recreate in your own home. But the studies certainly give you a sense of the power of negative ions and their potential for cleansing the air you breathe.

As suggested above, there is something you can do on a smaller scale using Himalayan crystal salt to release negative ions into your own indoor air. The basic premise behind a salt Candle holder is to help cleanse your indoor air and provide an attractive soothing light in your home.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do each of the tea light holders actually accommodate the size of the tea light candles
Answer:	Yes, they fit perfectly. I tried the waxed tea light candles and the battery operated tea light candles. Either one worked great!
Question:	How are these
Answer:	I think they’re a great value for the price. I didn’t have any issues with them being marred in shipping (the box was heavier than I expected). They aren’t uniform at all (among each other), which I personally liked, but some people may be looking for something a little more symmetrical. I’ve only put tea lights in them. I’m not sure if a votive would fit (plus I don’t think I’d want to scrape the wax out). Hope that helps!
Question:	Are these white or pink
Answer:	They are pinkish/orange, although the exact shade may vary as they are natural. If you would like, these holders also come in white.
Question:	Are these deep enough to fully hold votive-size candles??? (roughly 1.75 in tall x 1.45 in wide
Answer:	Yes, we have had great customer reviews that have shared that they used votive-size candles in the tea lights. Please let us know if there is any way we can further assist you.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this candle come in a box to gift wrap as a present
Answer:	It did not have a separate container box, only the shipping box, but as previously mentioned would look beautiful in a gift bag (the wine bottle sized ones would be perfect).
Question:	In what country are they made
Answer:	Rockville MD, USA
Question:	Does this have a wooden wick
Answer:	No wooden wick. Beautiful soft scent.. candle doesn't "puddle" wax evaporates as it burns evenly down..wax is soft and feels like cashmere!! They come well insulated in bubble wrap and paper in their own individual box...( However I did receive one candle with no wrapping or box loose in the box of ordered items.. I purchased 6 candles and will AGAIN... I must say that the wick is gentle and burns down with candle like a soy wick.. I have asthma and am not bothered by it as it produces no smoke. I think you would be pleased. I would love to send you a photo of the candle in use and snuffed out so you can see for yourself.
Question:	Is there a place to order the refills for this scent? I love it so much but don't want to keep buying the diffuser itself
Answer:	Chesapeake Bay is now owned by Yankee Candle (they also own Wood Wick). Yankee Candle doesn't sell "refills" for ANY of their brands/candles.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the wicks let off a lot of soot/smoke when the flame is blown out
Answer:	Yes, there is bit of smoke that goes up when you blow out the candle. But not really much more than what you would expect from a single wick candle.
Question:	How long does the scent last (after the candle is blown out) in a small room like a bathroom? Does it only smell when the candle is burning
Answer:	These candles are great, when lit it smells my whole house up, the smell lastes a long time after blown out, i cut the wick down before every use.
Question:	Why does the jar appear 2 to 3 times larger in ad than it does in actual photos uploaded by customer reviews? Which is it
Answer:	It actually a big jar. I would check the oz or the gram as an indication to the jar. My candle has 19oz/539 g and it lasts me for a while.
Question:	How tall is the jar itself? Packaging states 9.6" but I would assume that factors cushioning so it doesn't break
Answer:	The one I got was exactly 6 inches tall. But I was very disappointed that it had very little fragrance.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you clean out a melted candle from these
Answer:	I use tea light candles. When they burn out, they are easily removable.
Question:	Will the battery operated lights fit these holders
Answer:	If your battery operated lights are the same size in diameter as a tealight, they should fit. (The internal diameter is 2.5-2.75 inches)
Question:	what are the dimensions of each candleholder
Answer:	According to Amazon: Product Dimensions 7.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches
Question:	Is there anything other than salt in these? We ordered a pair and one arrived broken. My husband wants to use it as bath salt. Is it safe to do so
Answer:	I wouldn’t recommend it but then again I haven’t tried it. The issue with it is I haven’t been able to find anything stating it’s 100% saltrock. Which means if you do make them into bath salts I’m not sure it would dissolve or if it would cause skin irritation.
