Wishing to meet the needs of contemporary people, our company presents the Crystal World of Health. These are specially prepared wall panels that make use of the natural properties of salt crystals. They create a specific microclimate, close to sea or mountain conditions, which has a significant effect on our health and well-being.The main source of energy, essential for the human system to function properly, is the energy taken in directly from the natural surroundings . The regenerating and neutralising properties of salt have been known to people for a long time. The air around us contains a large number of positively charged particles (called positive ions), and negative ones (called negative ions).
According to contemporary knowledge, deficiency of negative ions has a detrimental effect on our health. A source of these natural, beneficial particles are also the panels we manufacture; they enable taking advantage of the properties of the salt lumps, and thus create very positive conditions in our surroundings. Each panel is a unique piece of handwork, and an inexhaustible source of energy contributing to the proper functioning of the human system. Through their beneficial ionising action and energetic effects of colour, the salt panels provide a positive effect on our health and mental well-being and for this eason they should be found in every household.
Our firm acts on market from 1999 year. We execute orders on highest level, assuring our clients fast, proficient, clean and forward installment. We offer checked equipment, for which we own all spare parts. We offer fulltime service (during guarantee and after), as well as constant service attendance on wish of client.

History of salt
It is believed that german soldiers were at certain times paid with salt, and this is still evident in the English language as the word "salary" derives from the Latin word salarium that means payment in salt (Latin sal), as well as the phrases "worth one's salt" and "with a grain of salt" (i.e. of little value). The Roman Republic and Empire controlled the price of salt, increasing it to raise money for wars, or lowering it to be sure that the poorest citizens could easily afford this important part of the diet. It was also of high value to the Hebrews, Greeks and other peoples of antiquity.Already in the early years of the Roman Republic, with the growth of the city of Rome, roads were built to make transportation of salt to the capital city easier. An example was the Via Salaria (originally a Sabine trail), leading from Rome to the Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic Sea, having a high salinity due to its shallow depth, had more productive solar ponds if compared with those of the Tyrrhenian Sea, much closer to Rome.
During the late Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages salt was a precious commodity carried along the salt roads into the heartland of the Germanic tribes. Caravans consisting of as many as forty thousand camels traversed four hundred miles of the Sahara bearing salt, sometimes trading it for slaves.
In the New Testament, Matthew 5:13 Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth." Jesus said this in order to show his disciples how valuable they were and this saying is commonly used today to describe someone who is of particular value to society. In addition, the preservative quality of salt is in view here to show how the disciples were called to preserve the society and the world around them from moral decay.
Salt has played a prominent role in determining the power and location of the world's great cities. Timbuktu was once a huge salt market. Liverpool rose from just a small English port to become the prime exporting port for the salt dug in the great Cheshire salt mines and thus became the source of the world's salt in the 1800s.
Salt created and destroyed empires. The salt mines of Poland led to a vast kingdom in the 1500s, only to be destroyed when Germans brought sea salt (often, to most of the world, considered 'superior' to rock salt). Venice fought and won a war with Genoa over salt. However, Genovites Christopher Columbus and Giovanni Caboto would later destroy the Mediterranean trade by introducing the New World to the market.
Cities, states and duchies along the salt roads exacted heavy duties and taxes for the salt passing through their territories. This practice even caused the formation of cities, such as the city of Munich in 1158, when the then Duke of Bavaria, Henry the Lion, decided that the bishops of Freising no longer needed their salt revenue.
The gabelle — a hated French salt tax — was enacted in 1286 and maintained until 1790. Because of the gabelles, common salt was of such a high value that it caused mass population shifts and exodus, attracted invaders and caused wars.
During many wars in American history, salt has been a major factor in the outcome. In the Revolutionary War, the British used Tories to intercept the rebels' salt supply and destroy their ability to preserve food. During the War of 1812, salt brine was used to pay soldiers in the field, as the government was too poor to pay them with money. Before Lewis and Clark set out for the Louisiana Territory, President Jefferson spoke in his address to Congress about a mountain of salt supposed to lie near the Missouri River, which would have been of immense value. (However, by 1810, new discoveries along the Kanawha and Sandy Rivers had greatly reduced the value of salt.) During India's independence movement, Mohandas Gandhi organized the Salt March protest to demonstrate against unfair taxation by the British. During more modern times, it became more profitable to sell salted food than pure salt. Thus sources of food to salt went hand in hand with salt making. The British controlled saltworks in the Bahamas as well as North American cod fisheries. This may have added to their economic clout during their 19th century imperial expansion period. The search for oil in the late 1800s and early 1900s used the technology and methods pioneered by salt miners, even to the degree that they looked for oil where salt domes were located.
