How Himalayan Salt Lamps Work

The benefits of Home salt lamps are backed up by solid scientific research. Studies have proved that lamps made from rock salt can increase the count of negative ions in the air by as much as 300%. It has long been known that an abundance of negative ions in the atmosphere has a helpful effect on people, fostering positive moods and feelings of more energy. When a light bulb is turned on inside the Himalayan rock crystal lamp, or a candle lighted, the heating of the rock salt generated the negative ions, enabling them to stream out where they can start improving the quality of the air. Another benefit of these lamps is that they are natural air fresheners, removing odors from the environment naturally, and generally making the atmosphere more pleasant.

But perhaps the more beneficial thing salt lamps to is to counteract all the positive ions that are emanating from all of those electrical devices that surround us: computers, televisions, radios, microwave ovens and other transmitters all generate positive ions. By setting up rock salt lamps in the vicinity of these devices, we can have them making those negative ions we need to maintain wellness.

Remember, we do not only need to feel energized at home. If you spend eight hours per day, five days a week in a work environment such as an office, then your work environment will be improved if you set up a rock salt lamp there as well. Bright, artificial lighting, especially fluorescent lights are believed to contribute to making people feel tired. And this is why a lamp generating negative ions will balance out the effect, helping you to feel energized and more rejuvenated.

People with asthma and arthritis have found that salt lamps help improve their conditions. Such conditions as body aches, attention deficit disorder, hormonal imbalance, migraines, headaches, insomnia, fatigue, poor concentration, tiredness and stress all benefit from the abundance of negative ions emitted from Himalayan salt lamps.

One source we have found that is very good is the Himalayan Salt Cart company. The quality of their products is much better than others we had tried and were disappointed with. Their shipping is very fast, and their customer service is second to none. They carry both naturally shaped as well as salt lamps and candle holders that have been crafted into globe, pyramids and other attractive designs.
