How Do Himalayan Salt Lamps Affect Your Health?


Himalayan salt lamps
have become increasingly popular in home for health, spiritual, and mental benefits. But how do salt lamps work? Most people have no idea the technicalities behind the salt lamps sold on the market today and, unfortunately, this leads some people to purchase low quality or faux products. Before you buy a salt lamp, learn a bit about how real salt lamps really work.

It all starts with ions. Learning about how negative ions are created from salt lamps may sound intimidating, but once you understand the basic concept, it’s actually not hard to separate the phonies from the real deal. The ground-level idea behind Himalayan salt lamps is that the air around us is electrically charged. The particles in the air are called “ions”. Ions can be either negatively or positively charged. In our natural environment, all living and non-living things change the quality of the electricity in the air.

However, electronic, cars, air conditioners, and other luxuries of our modern world actually output more positive ions (bad Ions). Tobacco, smog from factories, cell phones, and heaters are just a few of the other things that output a large percentage of these bad ions. This creates an imbalance within nature. Scientists have found that rock salt crystals are actually one of the best natural emitters of negative ions in the world. That means that a rock salt lamp can help to equalize the positive ions in your house, especially in home offices, television rooms, and kitchens.

What does negatively-charged air smell and feel like? Well, if you’ve ever been outside after a lightening storm, in the mountains near waterfalls and away from cities, or at the beach, you may have gotten a sense of just how salt lamps can work in your life. The air is refreshing, easy to believe, and healthy. Most people also associate these negatively-charged air situations with calmness, peace, and relaxation. A Himalayan salt lamp can do the same thing in your own home. Naturally in these health places, there are about 4000 negative ions in a cubic centimeter of air. However, in a city during rush our, that number drops to more like 100 negative ions per cubic centimeter. You can see how this big difference really can affect the body.

If you’re feeling generally unhealthy, consider a salt lamp. Allergies, asthma, and other breathing problems can especially be improved by using just a single salt lamp in your home. The negative ions of the salt lamp help to clear the Linkair of pollen, dust, smoke, pet dander, odors, mold, dust mites, and other forms of pollution. You can get a negative ion machine to do this job, but frankly, a Himalayan Salt Lamp looks much classier in a home décor setting.

Of course, when you purchase a Himalayan Salt Lamps, makes sure that you are getting the real deal. One common rock salt lamp hoax is to use other materials that simply look the same as the rock salt. While these items may still be beautiful, they are not effective. Get what you pay for by always working with a company that provides great rock salt items from genuine sources.

What are Himalayan Salt Lamps?

Himalayan salt lamps are all natural crystal lamps that can be used for relaxation and meditation, no matter what you anxiety level or religious needs. Many people are interested in salt lamps, but often express confusion, “do salt lamps work?” Himalayan salt lamps affect different people in different ways, and most often, people have experienced that rock lamps as assisting in finding peace and calm. In fact the dynamic colors alone are known to be naturally soothing to the human body. Much like that of a camp fire with sparkling red, orange and pinks these colors are know to affect the body and ease one into a relaxed state. Think back to the last time you were starring into a camp fire, most likely it was a captivating experience.

Millions of years ago, when the earth was still forming, immense pressure caused the Himalayan Mountains to rise out of the ocean. The primordial waters that were present at that time were forced up inside the massive Himalayan Mountains. Under staggering pressure for millions of years the salt ocean was converted into solid Himalayan Salt. Today, this natural Himalayan Salt continues to be preserved. And is the natural resource that is used for the Himalayan salt lamps. The salt we use is exclusively mined by hand, without the use of dynamite and other unnatural explosives. This means that it is much more time consuming and expensive to mine our Himalayan salt, but the end result is an higher quality product and a maintained natural environment.

You can use your salt lamps for? Himalayan salt lamps can be used for relaxation, and meditation practices. In fact the negative ions generated by the lamps help the human body to experience a sensory relaxation response. Our lamps work in the same way as the fresh ocean air feels or the clean fresh feeling just after a thunder and lightning storm. Salt evaporated in the air changes the ions count and chemical composition. That is why we are naturally attracted to the oceans edge, tropical vacations and find thunder and lightning storms so fascinating. The products can be used anywhere, Himalayan salt lamps work great near computers, in bedrooms and are the perfect night light. Bring back a natural fresh quality to the air and improve your home or office ambiance.

How Solay Salt Lamps Work:
Bio-energetic crystal salt was created over millions of years ago, when the ocean waters dried up in various parts of the world. The crystal is hand excavated into various sizes and drilled inside to accommodate a light source. When lit by a small, energy efficient light bulb of 15 watt or less, crystal salt emits an electrical charge, enriching our environments with health promoting negative ions. Negative ions help purify the air of allergens, dust, smoke, bacteria and more. These natural qualities make them an excellent beautiful light source, natural air purifier and can help people with various health conditions including asthma, allergies and other respiratory ailments. They can be used in every room, safely and should be left on as much as possible.
The Science:
crystal salt is one of the few minerals whose atomic structure is bound electrically, not molecularly. This characteristic of the mineral structure enables the crystal to change back and forth from crystalline to liquid state.
The gentle heat of the lamp in the crystal salt creates a higher surface temperature than the surrounding air. This attracts the water molecules in the cooler surrounding air. The natural humidity in the air condenses on the crystal's surface. This enables the electrically bound sodium chloride mineral to split into independent (positive) sodium and (negative) chloride ions.
This natural ionization creates an electric charge. After the water molecules evaporate again, the sodium and chloride ions turn back into their crystalline mineral form. When the sun heats up our largest natural salt solutions, the oceans, it generates the natural energy vibration of which our entire global environment consists. Salt crystal creates exactly the same natural energy field. Scientifically speaking, this natural ionization process takes place millions of times, invisible to the eye, and without any influence to the quality of the crystal. Similar to the concept whereby tree leaves absorb dangerous dioxides and transform them into essential oxygen, without damaging the plant.
The atomic structure of crystal salt contains more negative, chloride ions than positive, sodium ions which result in the emission of negative ions during the natural ionization process. Negative ions become dust collectors, attaching themselves to positively charged dust particles and cigarette smoke, purifying the circulating indoors air from dust, bacteria and pollutants.
Choosing a Salt Lamp:
Any Solay salt lamp you choose, we are sure you will love. All of our lamps are made with great care, quality checked and environmentally responsibility. Each country we import from posses its own unique salt crystal which varies in energy and aesthetics. We suggest having one from each country, so you can experience yourself the differences they offer and have a piece of ancient earth from around the world.
The size of the lamps and approximate ion radius is given next to each lamp size. For small spaces, smaller sized lamps will work fine. For larger spaces, having larger lamps or several smaller and medium lamps will work well. With salt lamps, you can never have too many. We recommend starting with a few Solay lamps, and placing in rooms that you are occupying most like the bedrooms and work offices.
Our bodies heal the best at night, so making sure your bedroom is tranquil and healthy will help your body get better rest and help your immune system. At work, we are surrounded by EMF (electro magnetic radiation) that has been known to cause various health conditions, including fatigue, and low concentration, which can cause other health issues if the body and mind are not relaxed and working properly. We recommend at least 1 Solay salt lamp near every computer.
Again, you can never have too many Solay salt lamps, so start with at least one lamp in every room possible and add more as you personally experience the benefits of nature’s most abundant and healthful resource, salt crystal.
How to care for your Solay Salt Lamp:
Solay Natural Salt lamps are for indoor use. crystal salt is hygroscopic; it draws moisture from the air. In case of increased humidity, the lamp should be turned on. The heated salt lamp will dry itself off. If the lamp is left off for periods of time, and becomes very damp--- unplug it. Take the electrical unit out. If the unit is wet, place in a dry, place. Wipe the salt crystal with cotton towel until moisture is removed. Following the drying process of the electrical unit and salt crystal, and reassembly, turn the lamp ON for couple of hours. Keep the lamp on a waterproof surface and or watch for moisture build up. If you store the salt lamp for long periods unlit, seal it in a plastic bag in a cool dry place. As lamp is heavy, keep out of reach from small children.
Replacing the light bulb:
Each Solay salt lamp comes with a custom fitted high quality, UL tested light unit, on/off switch and cord, unlike any other salt lamp. To replace the bulb, you do not need any tools. Just slowly pull on light unit near the base of the lamp. Squeeze the clasps together and pull the light unit out. Use a standard 15 watt or less night light size base bulb usually found in any hardware store, lighting store, or grocery store. If you cannot find any, please email us and we will send some out to you.
