Do you suffer from allergies? Do you have a lot of static electricity in your house? Do you sit in front of a computer monitor much of the day? Are you working under fluorescent lighting? Many things in our homes and work generate an over abundance of positive ions also known as electric smog.

All our wonderful electric devices that make our lives easier at the office and in our homes are creating problems for our health. Computer terminals, fluorescent lighting, forced air ventilation systems and some modern building materials generate a huge amount of harmful positive ions, also known as electric smog. This smog deteriorates the condition of air, which hazardously affects our physical and emotional state.

Using salt lamps can make a big difference in the way you feel. There have been scientific studies to prove that once the salt in the lamp is heated by the bulb, negative ions count can go up as much as 300%. The salt lamps are beautiful, maintenance free and a natural alternative to improve air quality.

Negative Ions are responsible for strengthening the functions of autonomic nerves, improves metabolism, strengthen the bodies immune system, cleans the air of dust and molds along with bacteria and pollen. The salt lamp helps to relieve tension and improve sleep. If you are suffering from asthma by adding negative ions to the air you can help remove the airborne pollutants.

The salt in the lamps are from the Himalayan Mountains and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You will want a lamp with a UL listed cord and the bulb can be as small as a night light bulb. The lamp remains on twenty-four hours a day and as the salt is warmed it emits the negative ions. This is a great idea to put in a childs room. It gives off a soothing glow which induces relaxation and sleep as well as works for a night light.

Salt lamps are a wonderful addition to your home and they have been used for their health benefits in many other countries for years. The lamps are easy to take care of, of course you want to follow the directions for each lamp. Keep in mind that each room in your home may need more then one lamp for the best effect. A rough rule of thumb is one pound for every ten square feet.

When did electricity and running water become readily available in European homes?

Presumably, in the early 19th century, rich households were equipped with staff members who would heat water they collected (from public wells, or perhaps private water pumps?) and provide it to their employers; it must have been incredibly annoying. “Turning on the lights” probably meant turning on a dangerous oil burning lamp.

Water was indeed collected both from private wells and from public pumps. You didn’t need to be wealthy, incidentally, to have the former – just lucky. Water began to be piped into houses during the 19th century, but initially a pump was still necessary to access it. Some cities had water supplies which linked to public pumps and, if you were lucky enough, to your own house. One such was the New River built in the 17th century to supply clean water to London. You could possibly suffer from lead poisoning though, due to the fact that the water was led in pipes made of that material. Public pumps were a source of cholera, a fact proved by a doctor in London’s Soho in the 1850s.

Town gas was available from early in the 19th century to light the streets, but not in houses until the second half of the century. This could also be used to heat water, but most houses were without gas or electricity until the 20th century. My grandmother’s house was still lit by gas in the late 1940s/early 1950s – I remember, as a child, my father buying and fixing new ‘mantles’ for her. And that was only 10 miles or so from central London and a couple of miles from Heathrow Airport which we had to pass to get to her house! It was the late 1950s before the whole of the UK was ‘wired’ – and remember that the areas without electricity probably had no gas either as gas was not supplied to rural areas due to the cost of laying mains.

Flushing toilets became available in mid-Victorian England. In 1858 London experienced the ‘Great Stink’ caused by untreated sewage in the Thames etc. Special curtains were hung over the windows of the Houses of Parliament to try and keep this smell out. With MPs affected, something had to be done and Joseph Bazalgette designed a system of sewers which were in completed by 1866. These ran all over the city into very large interceptors running along the north and south banks of the Thames (the reason the Victoria Embankment was built) to large sewage treatment works downstream. Large pumping stations were built to move this sewage around. Before this waste had poured into rivers (the old Fleet River, long since covered over) was a dreadful place even going back to Medieval times. Others used cess pits, or just tipped waste into the street. Sometimes there were men whose job was to go round collecting ‘nightsoil’
