Use of Himalayan Salt Lamps
If you’re asking yourself what the big deal is with Himalayan Salt Lamps, then you’re definitely not alone. I used to think the same think about Himalayan Salt Lamps being nothing but glorified pink hued lamps that are good for nothing else except for aesthetics, accents, mood lighting and all that interior design mumbo jumbo.
However, having used it constantly through the years, I’ve come to changed my mind.
According to research, as the Himalayan Salt Lamp is turned on, the light source (light bulb) heats up the Himalayan Salt crystals. These heated salt crystals then act as natural ion generators.
The Himalayan salt crystal lamps have a similar effect to that of an air ionizer. However, the natural ionization of a crystal lamp is far supreme than that of a man-made mechanical ionizer. An mechanical ionizer can only have an ionization effect, while salt crystal lamps, specifically Himalayan Salt Crystal lamps have many advantages in many aspects and improve the general atmosphere of a room.
It essentially works out like this: the salt crystal lamp binds the negative ions with the excess positive ions. When the lamp becomes warm, it absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment and the crystal becomes damp on the surface. This builds up the ion field. Through the lamp, the positively charged atmosphere of a room can be neutralized.
In addition to this, the colors of the salt crystal stones have a healing effect. The therapeutic value of the coloured crystals can reorganize the epidermal layer of our skin. Tests made with kids having ADHD symptoms have shown that after only one week of exposure to crystal salt lamps, their symptoms subsided and or have improved tremendously. After removing the lamps, the symptoms were found to have returned.
These salt lamps were found to also alleviate a lot of other symptoms from asthma, allergies, and other respiratory illnesses. In a nutshell, a Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamp thoroughly purifies the air naturally and effectively.
