Salt Lamps: What Can They Do For You?

For centuries, people have used lamps made from crystals of natural rock salt from the Himalayas to purify the air that they breathe.

Lamps made from salt crystals ionize the air with negative ions. They clear the air of grass, weed, and tree pollen, dust, dust mites, mold spores and animal dander.

Salt crystal lamps are important resources of natural negative ions. They reverse the positive ions that are created in our environment by TVs, computers, radios, air conditioners, furnaces, cell phones, exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke and other pollutants.

Salt lamps can be used anywhere that you want to restore or preserve natural air quality. They are nature's way to ionize a room. Cool crystals act as mini ionizers, but only illuminated crystals produce a high number of negative ions.

The pureness of the air we breathe is essential for good health and well-being. Breathing pure air allows us to think better, sleep more soundly and maintain optimum health. Scientific studies show that our body receives 56% of its energy from the air that we breathe. It's important that the thirty-seven pounds of air that we take into our lungs each day is pure.

Benefits of Salt Lamps

Salt crystal lamps provide a natural aesthetic beauty that gives us the feeling of peace, tranquility and comfort. These lamps have been used for centuries to treat ailments such as rheumatism, high blood pressure, migraines, allergies and respiratory diseases. It's believed that people who suffer from PTSD, (post traumatic stress disorder) anxiety attacks and depression can benefit from salt lamps.

What are Salt Lamps?

Salt crystal lamps are made from crystals of natural rock salt. The salt is harvested and then used naturally, or shaped into spheres. The center is hollowed out and an illumination device is inserted. The base of the salt lamp is cut flat and mounted on a base of wood or metal. They glow a rich yellow or orange color that lends softness to the room that gives us feelings of well-being.

Caring for Salt Lamps

Salt draws moisture from the air. Salt lamps should never be washed or used in areas that are high in humidity. If an illuminated or candle salt lamp shows signs of dampness, turn it on or light the candle. This will dry out the salt and prevent deterioration.

Always clean salt crystal lamps with a soft brush. Never rub with a cloth or spray with cleansers.

Bulbs in illuminated salt lamps can be changed by removing the light from the base. Tea light candles can be replaced from the top of the salt crystal.

There are many benefits to using salt lamps in your home and office. They help maintain optimum health. Try one to keep your environment pollutant free.
