Salt Lamps

Salt Lamps are basically a large Salt Crystal that is lit with an incandescent light bulb, LED, or candle inside. The primary benefit to these Salt Crystals is the emitting of negative ions into the atmosphere (e.g. Room in your house). These negative ions bond with positive ions and neutralize them before they are inhaled into your respiratory system. So countering positive ions with negative ions produced by Himalayan Salt Crystals is a very good thing for the atmosphere within your home.

Benefits 

According to WebMD: " There's something in the air and while it may not be love, some say it's the next best thing -- negative ions." The top 5 benefits of negative ions are:
  1. Purifying and Improving Air Quality. One and three people are sensitive to the effects of negative ions.  If you are a lucky one, they make you feel like walking on air; refreshed the moment you breath in fresh air.
  2. Reduce Allergy and Asthma Symptoms. Negative ions remove microscopic particles in the atmosphere.  These include dust, pet dander, mold, and mildew for an example. These create a positive environment for Asthma sufferers.  
  3. Improving Breathing. The effects of negative ions is so powerful they are used in Inhalers.  As seen on the Dr. Oz Show and named one of the best new products in Alternative Medicine, inhaling Himalayan Pink Salt is miraculous for those who suffer with respiratory ailments.

What to Know When Buying a Himalayan Salt Lamp

When choosing a salt lamp for you home here are some of the features to think about are Size, Color, Surface, Bulb.  When picking out an appropriate size use this rule of thumb: 1 lb filters 4'x4' sq of a room. For color, the darker the better. These are considered higher quality crystals.  Surface is extremely important. Rougher surfaces have a larger surface area which are more effective at improving air quality. The last item to consider is the Bulb.  Wonderful Scents recommends not using LED bulbs.  We use heat-producing bulbs for maximum effect.
