Himalayan Salt Lamps

You've seen mine in my office and asked me questions about it so I though I would write a little post on the subject.

What are Himalayan salt lamps?

These lamps are made of chunks of pink Himalayan salt. The salt has a carved-out center in which a light bulb is placed. Himalayan salt lamps release negative ions into the air in a process called air ionization.

Salt lamps have gained popularity in the recent years with people looking for more natural ways of  treating their ailments and people wanting to make their home a healthier place. Here are some health claims associated with them:

Air purification
Salt lamps may purify the air. This is specifically useful to those with allergies to dust, insect droppings, animal dander, or other environmental allergies.

Ease respiratory symptomsT
They may help reduce respiratory symptoms in those with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Improved mood and sleep
Salt lamps may improve a person's mood or help them sleep better.
