8 Amazing Benefits Of Himalayan Salt Lamps
The popularity of Himalayan salt lamps is rising not just because they’re beautiful, but they have health benefits as well.
Himalayan salt lamps are exactly what they sound like they are: chunks for Himalayan salt with a small bulb, usually LED, inside. The salt crystals combining with the light source produce negative ions, which neutralize positive ions in the air. Positive ions often carry mold, bacteria and allergens through the air. So the result is a cleansing effect on the air in the room.
Note: The allergens simply fall to the ground, so vacuum frequently with a HEPA-filtered vacuum.
So where do these positive ions come from? Positive ions are emitted by electronic equipment in your home, like televisions, computers, and smart phones. The result is an increase in allergies, stress, and insomnia. The salt lamp cancels out these ions.
There are 8 things you should notice after you plug one in:

1. You Sleep Better
They say that salt lamps have an impact on the air environment, although the studies on how it affects sleep patterns haven’t all been proven.
It’s still worthy to note that Himalayan salt lamps provide a dim comforting light that promotes sleepiness at the end of the day. Plus it’s quite a healthy change from the usual electric lights and radiation from screens.
2. Calming Effects On Mental Health
Many studies seem to point that negative ions emitted by these salt lamps improve mood and energy levels as they increase serotonin in the brain.
Himalayan salt lamps can benefit people suffering from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and improve general mood after a long day.
3. Balance Eectromagentic Radiation
Everyday appliances like televisions, cell phones, computers, and tablets release positive ions into the air constantly which can have serious long-term effects. Constant exposure to that kind of radiation can lead to fatigue, increase stress and disturb sleeping patterns.
Himalayan salt lamps emit negative ions and might be able to cancel out positive ones.
4. The Ideal Meditation Tool
Himalayan salt lamps produce a soft light in hues of ambient orange, yellow and red that helps with stress, focus, and relaxation. They can really help set the mood and tone of a room with serene light and positive energy.
On a spiritual level, they can also balance out the distracting energies and frequencies from the technology around as to allow us to tap into our truest inner beings to detox.
