13 Sep Why I Not Only Want a Himalayan Salt Lamp, but NEED One

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has always wanted a Himalayan Salt Lamp.  I honestly just love the warm, cozy feeling that comes from the orange glow of the lamp.  I never had any idea that there were actually health benefits to these beautiful lamps, but after a little research, I found enough information to convince me why I not only WANT a Himalayan salt lamp, but NEED one.

So first, what is a Himalayan Salt Lamp? It’s simply a chunk of pure Himalayan crystal salt mounted onto a piece of wood with an electric bulb placed inside. Himalayan salt lamps work by first attracting the humidity in the air, then evaporating it. The lamp’s negatively charged ions neutralize the positively charged ions, which can result in potential health benefits.

Benefits of a Himalayan Salt Lamp

Himalayan Salt Lamps can clean and purify the air.  You can experience increased mental alertness, enhanced mood and a better night’s sleep.  These lamps also have the ability to neutralize electromagnetic radiation.  Electromagnetic radiation is what is emitted from our many electric appliances such as televisions, computers, cell phones, tablets etc.  With all of these potential benefits, what’s not to love?
