Naturally Improve Your Air With Salt Lamps
Himalayan salt lamps naturally improve surrounding indoor air quality; this translates into any number of homeopathic benefits and noticeable effects to the air one breathes - including fresher smelling air; reduced snoring; increased mental alertness; reduction (even elimination) of persistent allergy, asthma, or mold-related symptoms; and many more.
Results often vary based on the individual and the indoor environment a salt lamp is used in, but this is the case with all homeopathic and natural products.
Salt lamps, especially Himalayan salt lamps, are widely known and regarded for their natural ability to improve indoor air quality, enhance mood, and generate warm ambiance. The health benefits of using salt lamps around the home or business are well-documented anecdotally and based firmly in scientific principle.
What Is A Salt Lamp?
A "salt lamp" is the generic term for what is basically a mined chunk of crystalline rock salt, with a light bulb placed inside; often including a wooden base or plastic feet.
The most popular variety of salt used for lamps is Himalayan salt due to the vast amount available to be mined, as well as the varied salt colors and quality levels to be found.
Persian salt lamps are quite rare given the limited amount of this purple and white salt that can be annually mined and exported for manufacturing.
How does a salt lamp work?
Salt lamps work naturally by attracting airborne moisture to the lamp surface which should be at least warm to the touch for optimal results. This hygroscopic process is the special relationship of salt and water. Water evaporation creates a small field of beneficial negative ions around the salt lamp; over time the balance of these ions in the air increases against typically more numerous (and harmful) positive ions, essentially neutralizing them.
This natural change to indoor air reduces airborne mold, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and many asthma and allergy triggers by creating an inhospitable environment for these things to exist. All of these pathogens and irritants carry a natural positive electrical charge AND require humidity to remain airborne and alive; the two conditions a salt lamp works to change for the good.
