Top Health Benefits of Himalayan Salt Lamps

The use of Himalayan salt lamps have been increasing recently due to their many amazing benefits. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but they have many healing properties as well. These salt lamps are highly therapeutic additions to any room. Especially useful for chronic conditions as their effects are cumulative. They work just like a regular lamp except that the light bulb heats up the salt which is then released into the air around you. I absolutely love my Himalayan salt lamp and its warm, comforting glow has made such a big difference to my home and health. This article will discus the basics of these amazing salt lamps and will help you choose your first one.

The History of Himalayan Pink Salt

Himalayan salt is the cleanest and most beneficial salt that can be found on the planet. It was formed over 250 million years ago at a time when the energy of the sun had basically dried up the original primal sea. This crystal salt is completely pristine, pure and natural. The Himalayan pink crystal salt is untreated and therefore free of any toxins or pollutants. It also contains all the natural elements found in our bodies, which indicates why it is so beneficial to us.

How a Himalayan Salt Lamp Works

We are constantly surrounded by both positive and negative ions which are found in the air around us. Positive ions are generally created by electronic devices such as cellphones, computers, tablets etc. These types of ions are created unnaturally and are considered to be ‘electronic air pollution’. This can cause many health problems such as allergies, stress and insomnia. Himalayan salt lamps have the ability to emit negative ions. This occurs when the salt crystals are exposed to a source of heat via the light bulb. These negative ions are needed to neutralize the positive ions constantly generated by a world full of electronics. By neutralizing the positive ions, the air is cleansed and health problems can be avoided.
