The Many Benefits of Himalayan Salt Lamps

Benefits of Himalayan Salt Lamps

One of the most cherished pieces I have in my Reiki healing room is my Himalayan salt lamp.  It provides a majestic glow and a soothing ambiance.  I initially purchased one for my room because of it's beauty and my love for soft lighting.  I loved it so much that I purchased one for every room of my house.  After doing some research, I learned that these gorgeous lamps do a lot more than provide a soft and cozy glow.  In fact, given the plethora of electronic devices that we all have in our homes, It is my belief that adding one of these lamps to every main living space is beneficial.   The lamps come in a variety of sizes.  A 10-12 pound lamp is sufficient for an average size room.  


What Are Himalayan Salt Lamps? 

These lamps are simply large pieces of pure Himalayan salt with a light inside.  They are made from pure, food grade Himalayan salt crystals.

Negative Ions vs. Positive Ions 

Himalayan salt lamps generate negative ions.  Negative ions are also generated in nature by ocean waves, waterfalls, sunlight, and lightening storms.  This is why so many people often feel so refreshed and renewed while at a beach, near a waterfall or after a storm.  Electronic devices such as computers, microwaves, TVs, radios, cellphones, and tablets create positive ions.  Positive ions exacerbate health problems like stress, insomnia, and allergies.  Himalayan salt lamps help to neutralize these positive ions and cleanse the air.

How Do the Lamps Work? 

The combination of salt and the light bulb inside attracts moisture to the surface and evaporates quickly due to the heat inside.  The negative ions are generated during the evaporation process.
