One of the main advantages of Himalayan Rock Salt Lamps is that they offer a breath of fresh air as if you had opened a window and let in the sun’s natural light.  

Have you ever noticed the wonderful feeling of sitting by a waterfall or at the beach? This can be attributed to the negative ions in the air. According to scientific studies, negative ions are oxygen ions with an extra electron attached to water molecules.  

Unfortunately, most indoor environments contain little to no negative ions, which are beneficial for your health and help negate the positive ions. However, the negative ions around waterfalls and the ocean waves crashing down are plentiful.  

One key benefit of salt lamps is said to be from the negative ions. Thus, you may hear people refer to pink Himalayan salt lamps as negative ion generators.  

Himalayan salt lamps are also renowned for their ability to remove pollutants and some types of contaminants from the air being breathed. Common sense applies, and we recommend doing everything you can to improve the air quality in your home for a better quality of life. 

Himalayan salt crystals can help purify the air through the power of hygroscopy. This means they attract water molecules and water vapour from the environment, and then the crystal salt absorbs those molecules into the salt crystals in the lamp. The absorbing water evaporates into the air as the lamp warms up, and the trapped particles remain locked in the salt.  

Because rock salt lamps can help remove microscopic airborne air particles, placing a Himalayan salt lamp in the rooms where you spend the most time can significantly reduce allergy symptoms.  

People living with asthma have noticed a difference in their symptoms after having a salt lamp in their room after a week or two.  

Always seek professional medical advice with any condition you may have or knowingly have. As you can appreciate, we are not providing medical advice and highly recommend seeking professional medical advice as you see fit. 

As a result of salt lamps helping remove some ‘dirty’ particles from the air, you will have less of these particles to inhale. The cleaner the air we breathe in, the healthier our bodies are. 

 Another benefit of Himalayan salt lamps is how people feel more energized around them. People often feel more invigorated by seeing them.  

If you constantly feel tired and aren’t sure why you should try placing a Himalayan rock salt lamp in the room you spend the most time in during the day. You should begin to notice a difference in your energy levels within a week or two. 

We live in a society that is flooded with all types of energy fields. Because of this, blood flow and oxygen supply to the body and brain can be significantly diminished. Due to this, many people experience irregular sleep.  

A research paper conducted in October 2017 found that negative oxygen ions helped subjects fall asleep more easily in the room with negative oxygen ions. They also have a wonderfully soothing effect. It seems like human nature, but we are drawn to lit objects, especially in a dimly lit room. We also receive positive comments from people who have enjoyed more restful sleep due to having salt lamps in their bedroom.  

Himalayan Salt Lamps make the perfect ambient night lights for babies and young children. The soothing glow assists sleep while clearing the air and harmonizing the sleeping area, but if you cannot sleep with a lamp on, just make sure it is on all day and turn it off at bedtime to enjoy the benefits.

Being a mood booster is another one of the Himalayan salt lamp benefits. The warm, natural glow of a salt lamp can have an uplifting effect, reducing stress and providing a beneficial effect. At the same time, they are great for improving concentration in your office or study area, and the natural soft glow is nowhere near as harsh as a standard desk lamp. 

So, whether you are looking for a salt lamp for your home or office, the salt lamp benefits of increasing your concentration and lifting your mood are ideal. 

These lamps are designed to reduce static cling and to be environmentally beneficial. One of the positive effects of rock salt lamps is they can be advantageous to the environment. Himalayan rock salt lamps have been designed to consume a small amount of energy and run at low temperatures.  

You may be pleased to know that caring for your Himalayan salt lamps is extremely easy. Keep on at all times or at least 16 hours a day. A standard 15w light bulb will last 1,000 hours. Himalayan crystal tea light candle holders are not as effective as crystal salt lamps as the tealight candle cannot heat the salt rocks enough. As a result, you will find they cry more and do not generate negative ions as much as salt lamps.
