Rock Salt Chunks, 1.5lbs

This bag of rock salt chunks is good for bathing or can be used as a display item acting as a natural air ionizer to boost the number of negative ions in the air. For use as a bathing salt, one just needs to crush the rocks into smaller pieces. The chucks or rock salt are about 1-2" long. The bag of salt rock weights 1.5 pounds.

The effect of air ionization by salt stems from its physical and chemical properties. Long term scientific research into the effects of salt mine microclimate on human health resulted in establishment of underground sanatorium.

One of such places is the underground health clinic in the Wieliczka Salt Mine near Cracow. At depth of 250 meters, salt walls and slings saturate circulating air with sodium chloride (10 to 30 mg/m3), magnesium, manganese, and calcium. Steady temperature (14-17°C), high pressure and humidity as well as absence of pollutants constitute the curing properties of crystal salt. They have long been recognized and used in treatments of allergies, respiratory and blood system diseases as well as rheumatism.
