History & Benefits

Himalayan salt crystal lamps are made from salt crystal rocks, formed over hundreds of millions of years and mined over 800 feet under the foothills of the Himalayas.

This rare crystal comes in a range of colours from off-white to apricot to warm pink.

Many of us live and work in surroundings dominated by computers, TV’s, photocopy machines, printers, microwaves, air conditioning and heaters. These “appliances” emit excessive amounts of positive ions into the air. This can result in mental and physical exhaustion and affect our health on a huge level.

The most dangerous level of positive ions occur in polluted cities where exhaust fumes from vehicles, cigarette smoke, dust and electromagnetic pollution combine to create a potent mixture of positive ions and ozone that gradually destroy our lungs and ruin our health in very physical ways.

Why Himalayan Salt Lamps help against this…?

The negative ions produced by the lamps are odourless, tasteless and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance, similar to certain environments such as mountains, waterfalls and beaches. Nature has the ability to heal, and proponents of Himalayan salt lamps argue these pink salt rocks can mimic, to an extent, the feeling you get from being outside. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of mood chemical serotonin which help to alleviate depression, relieve stress and boost our energy.

FACT:

It has been found that even a small number of negative ions could kill bacteria and quickly take them out of the air so they are less likely to infect people.

SALT CRYSTAL LAMPS are a beautiful alternative to man-made ionisers and have no harmful side effects and no noise.

There are many proven healing properties found with Himalayan salt (please research the internet to find the extent of these), as this differs from the ‘normal’ table salt we consume on food, which has been stripped of nutrients that are naturally found within salt leaving sodium and chloride which leads to fluid retention, high blood pressure and heart problems.

Not only do Salt Lamps look great as part of your furnishings in the home, they have an amazing list of HEALING PROPERTIES:

·        Regulates sleep

·        Reduces electro-smog

·        Reduces symptoms of asthma, allergies and various respiratory ailments

·        Purifies the air

·        Purer atmosphere that is conducive to healthy living and improving your overall well-being

·        Increases energy levels and reduces stress

·        Helps reduce symptoms of seasonal depression (SAD)

·        Improves skin diseases such as eczema

·        Reduces static electricity

·        Eases coughing

·        Environmentally-Friendly Light Source

 

CAUTIONS:

Remember, Himalayan pink salt crystals will begin to melt with prolonged exposure to high humidity. For this reason, use caution and keep a close watch on any lamps positioned near sources of steam such as dishwashers, laundry machines, or showers. DO NOT COVER THEM EITHER.

 Inexpensive White Crystal

You’ll typically find Himalayan salt lamps that give off a warm pinkish or orange hue. There is such a thing as a white Himalayan salt lamp, but it’s extremely rare and a lot more pricey than the coloured ones. So if you find a white salt crystal lamp that’s not substantially more expensive than the pink/orange versions, steer clear because this is likely an imposter!

No Mention of Pakistan

Deep underground mines in Khewra, Pakistan, are the only source of true Himalayan pink salt. If you’re questioning whether you have a real Himalayan salt lamp, look for mention of Pakistan as the salt crystal’s country of origin. You can also ask the lamp’s maker about the salt’s origin, keeping in mind that it may list the country of origin as the location of the lamp’s assembly.

Lastly, please ensure your pets or children do not eat or lick the salt from the lamps as it is not the edible version and therefore, could be harmful.

 

I have Himalayan Pink Salt Lamps around my home, especially near electronics and I really do feel the benefits of these natural health aids. If you have already purchased one or more, I am sure you will agree that they are a huge benefit in your life. If you are thinking of investing, please let me know how you find the results, I’d love to hear from you xxx
