Salt lamps are simply large pieces of pure Himalayan Salt with a small bulb inside. They can be solid pieces of salt or decorative baskets filled with large crystals of salt. Himalayan salt lamps have the ability to chemically and physically transform a room, and have unique health benefits. Salt crystal lamps are natural ion generators, emitting negative ions into the atmosphere. Negative ions restore and neutralize air quality. Negative ions can be used to treat illness and improve health.\u00a0Here are some salt lamp benefits and uses:<\/p>\n

\"Himalayan<\/strong><\/p>\n

AIR PURIFICATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The core benefit of these lamps is their incredible power to remove pollen, dust, cigarette smoke, and other contaminants from the air. <\/em><\/em>Efficacy of salt lamp stems from hygroscopy, attracting and absorbing\u00a0water molecules with contaminants inside<\/strong>, from the surrounding environment, trapping them into the salt crystal.<\/p>\n

REDUCES STRESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

We certainly respond well to beautiful colours so there\u2019s every reason to believe the beautiful pinkish orange glow of a crystal salt lamp would be beneficial for stress relief. The soft pink light of your Himalayan crystal salt lamp is the ideal soothing colour to look at and relax before bed. Doing so for a while before you go to your bedroom may even help you get to sleep.\u00a0SCENTS THAT HAVE THE POWER TO HEAL<\/a><\/p>\n

IMPROVE CONCENTRATION <\/strong><\/p>\n

Himalayan pink salt lamps are a great way to naturally enhance your mood or to help you relax and unwind at the end of the day. At the same time and on the opposite side of the coin, HPS lamps are great for improving concentration. Again, this is due to the effect of the negative ions on your body, improving blood and oxygen supply to the brain and other organs.<\/p>\n

BETTER SLEEP<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salt lamps can put you to comforting deep sleep. Over-exposure to positive ions in the air robs you of quality sleep. This happens because those positively-charged particles can actually reduce blood and oxygen supply to the brain resulting in irregular sleep patterns. Himalayan pink salt lamps are natural negative ion generators, thus they can help to reverse this problem. Keep one or two around your bedroom to improve the air quality so you can get a better night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0NATURAL DRINKS TO HELP GET BETTER SLEEP<\/a><\/p>\n

REDUCES ALLERGIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the health detriments of breathing lots of positive ions in the air is that the cilia (microscopic hairs) which line the trachea (aka: windpipe) become sluggish and don\u2019t work as well to keep contaminants out of our lungs. As a Himalayan pink salt lamp absorbs water and particles from the air, it also takes positive ions with them. Then, when the heated salt releases cleansed water vapour back into the air, it also expels negative ions which have the opposite effect on our airways- increasing cilial activity to keep your lungs clear.<\/p>\n
