Benefits of a Himalayan salt lamp

There are many benefits of having a salt lamp in your home. They are said to release negative ions, (vitamins in the air) into the air, neutralising any harmful positive ions, which are becoming more prevalent with our extensive use of electronic devices in our homes. They are also said to clear the air of electro smog, dust and pollens that may cause allergic reactions, breathing difficulties and other respiratory symptoms, and it has been thought that they act as an antibacterial agent  helping to kill airborne bacteria. They are also known for their vast therapeutic benefits for anyone suffering with asthma, eczema and respiratory issues. The beautiful soft warm pinkish red glow from the pink salt creates a soothing and therapeutic environment for those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, migraines insomnia and other mood disorders such as seasonally affected disorder. Add a warm glow to your room with a Himalayan salt lamp. Sourced from the salt mines of the punjab region of Pakistan, near the foot of the Himalayas, the salt crystals have a lovely reddish hue when lit. Some believe that with the gentle heat of the lamp, the salt emits negative ions which purify the air and are beneficial to health. Either way, we just love the look and their soft, warm glow.
