What are Himalayan Salt lamps and why is everyone going crazy for them? If you are searching for an answer to these questions you have come to the right place. As the name suggests, the Himalayan salt lamps are decorative lights that you can place on your study table, nightstand, or any other piece of furniture or shelf in your house.
These lamps, however, have so much more to them than meets the eye. These hollowed-out blocks of pure pink Himalayan salt with a warm soothing light fitted in the middle offer a slew of benefits for your physical and mental health and well-being.
The founder of GEOHONEY and the CEO of BA Barry Group, Mr. Basem Barry says
“Himalayan salt lamps are a treat for people who love a soothing ambiance with an artistic touch. The physical and mental health benefits of these lamps along with the calming atmosphere they create make them worth every penny.”
This blog explores the main reasons why almost everybody is crushing on these exotic and exquisite lamps so keep on reading till the end.
These are unique lamps made from salt crystals extracted from the Himalayan Mountain range. Basically, you take a salt crystal, hollow it out, place a light bulb inside, and you get a Himalayan salt lamp that emits a warm, pink glow when lit up.
Most people buy these lamps simply because they can give any space a classy and calming ambiance. There are some salt lamp enthusiasts, however, who find these attractive for their healing and health benefits.
It is believed that the Himalayan salt lamps are natural ionizers which means they can change the electrical charge in their surroundings. Ions are simply atoms that are not stable and can give or take electrons to neutralize themselves.
These salt lamps are a source of negative ions which can attract the harmful positive ions from our surroundings thus saving us from the harm they can do to our health.
According to one theory, the salt lamps attract water particles that evaporate off as salt solution upon heating by the lamp. This produces negative ions that destroy positive ones leading to cleaner and safer surroundings.
Now that you know what Himalayan salt lamps are and the way they work let’s look at what makes these an attractive item for most homeowners.
Following are a few facts and benefits of Himalayan salt lamps that show why people are crushing hard on these all over the world
Salt is famously hygroscopic which means it can attract and absorb water molecules from its surroundings. The air we breathe in contains water vapors. But there is more, these water vapors also trap dirt and allergens.
By placing a salt lamp in your room, you can attract these water vapors toward the surface of the lamp which leads to cleaner air.
You also need to remember that as these lamps produce heat the water on the surface of these lamps dries out leaving dirt and grime on the lamp. This is why you need to clean the lamp regularly.
The Himalayan salt lamps are a rich source of negative ions. These ions are good for you as they can pull and then neutralize positive ions generated by electrical devices and air pollution.
Some studies have also shown that negative ions can increase both the oxygen level and serotonin in your brain which alleviates stress and allows you to feel relaxed and at peace.
As the salt lamps expose you to more negative ions it improves the production and flow of mood-regulating chemicals like serotonin in your brain. This effect of salt lamps is especially helpful for people with chronic depression or anxiety.
By allowing you to feel good about yourself and your surroundings, these lamps can boost your mood and that leads to an improved overall quality of life.
Unlike the bright electric lights that delay the production of melatonin i.e., the sleep hormone, the light from the salt lamps is soft and warm. This promotes faster and more sound sleep.
The beneficial light therapy of Himalayan salt lamps can also help treat irregular sleeping patterns by limiting the number of positive ions that can affect the oxygen and blood supply to your brain.
If you are allergic to pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, or mildew you can place these lamps in your room to alleviate the symptoms. This is also useful for people who suffer from chronic asthma. These lamps can purify the air around you, thus reducing the risk of allergies to a great extent.
And finally, these lamps have grown so popular as they are a more eco-friendly and sustainable indoor lighting option. The reserves from which the Himalayan salt is mined are enough to last more than 350 years at the present rate of extraction.
Moreover, the base of these salt lamps is also made from sustainable wood like neem. These lamps include a very low-wattage bulb and in some versions, you can also use a candle which makes these very energy-effective as well.
Himalayan salt lamps can create a calm and relaxing indoor environment where you can recuperate after a long day of work. These lamps benefit you by cleansing the air, neutralizing harmful positive ions, and helping you sleep better.
The medical benefits of these lamps are not proven but still, the people who have used these claim that their health and well-being improved significantly once they added these lamps to their rooms. You can use these lamps too and get a peaceful and healthy indoor space that not only looks but feels elegant and healthy.
