Himalayan Salt Lamps, are glowing healers! I have 2 big salt lamps in my home, and,I do not **ever** turn them off! The effect that they have on my family, myself and home is incredible. I bought my first Salt lamp last year, and didn't notice how beneficial it was, until I turned it off. I put the lamp is in my living room( I live in a 1 bedroom apt) and as soon as i turned the lamp off, the room lost its tranquil feeling, and almost uncomfortable. I turned it the lamp back on, and have not turned it off since. Since then I bought a second one placed it in the same room, on the opposite side, so the whole room is filled with a warm tranquil glow. I also sleep next to one of the lamps, because it helps me to sleep better, and calms me down. Eventually I will get one for the bedroom, but until then I will sleep where my Glowing Healers are! I love them so much I thought I would share some information on Himalayan Salt Lamps: What they are, Healing Benefits , & How they are able to give you the wonderful healing benefits!
**1) WHAT IS A HIMALAYAN SALT LAMP **
Himalayan Salt Lamps are blocks of pure salt crystals, from ancient dried up oceans in the Himalayan mountain regions, that are approximately 250 million years old. The mined salt block crystals come in a variety shades including white, pink, peach, orange, and reds. The darker the color of the lamp, the higher the quality of the Salt lamp. There is a small bulb inside the salt block, which helps serve as a perfect air ionizer. You can choose a natural or sculpted shaped lamp, which come in a variety of shapes. The surface area of a salt lamp determines the amount of water it can absorb from the air. Rougher lamps have a higher surface area, than smooth polished lamps, and makes them slightly more effective at improving air quality. No matter what shape you choose though, you will get all the amazing benefits.
** HOW DO HIMALAYAN SALT LAMPS GIVE YOU GREAT HEALTH BENEFITS:**
Let me explain positive and negative ions first before I continue.
**Negative Ions** are produced in nature, by sunlight, lightning storms, ocean water. Running water is considered nature’s greatest source of negative ions. According to, *Pierce J. Howard, PhD*, Director of Research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C., he states:
*" Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and
more mental energy. They also may protect against germs in the air, resulting in decreased irritation due to
inhaling various particles that make you sneeze, cough, or have a throat irritation. And for a whopping one in
three of us who are sensitive to their effects, negative ions can make us feel like we are walking on air. You are
one of them if you feel instantly refreshed the moment you open a window and breathe in fresh air."*
**Positive Ions** are harmful to our health. These are created by electronic devices, and are known as ' electronic smog' or ' electric air pollution. Examples of these are T.V, computers, cell phones, appliances, floresent lights and any other man made electric producing device. Allergins, bacteria and molds travel through the air in water molecules and have a positive ion charge.
Back to the question: ** HOW DO HIMALAYAN SALT LAMPS GIVE YOU GREAT HEALTH BENEFITS:**
The salt, naturally attracts water molecules( with good and bad particles) that are in the air. Once the water molecules are locked into the salt, these particles are neutralized, and the heat from the bulb, warms the salt lamp, quickly evaporating the water and releases Negative Ions into the air. These negative ions also, neutralize/ reduce the Positive Ions from the electric smog that our electronics give off, creating a healthier environment which improves your physical and mental well being.
