Himalayan salt lamps are carved out of pink Himalayan salt to create soft, decorative lights for your home; the lamp emits a pinkish hue that makes the ambiance feel warm and relaxing. Each piece is unique in design, size and colour including pink, white and grey.
It is claimed that salt lamps can boost mood, improve sleep, ease allergies, help people with asthma breathe better and many other benefits, such as emitting negative ions which give the air an invigorating freshness, (similar to that found at waterfalls, by the sea, on mountain-tops and after thunderstorms). Also, creating a sense of well-being, negative ions can help reduce the effects of indoor air pollution from computers and other electrical equipment, poor ventilation and air conditioning.
It’s important to note that no major studies have supported the alleged health benefits of Himalayan salt lamps when it comes to air quality, but one study did suggest that negative ions can help decrease depression.
But that being said, we still think salt lamps can make a great addition to your home, office or meditation room. Different designs can fit your home’s aesthetic, including miniature versions, which make ideal night lights.
