Himalayan salts has had a place at our table for some time now. When
used in the kitchen pink Himalayan salt has a ton of benefits, from
lowering your blood pressure to helping with digestion. But what can
Himalayan salts do in the rest of our homes?
This mineral is hand-mined from the Himalayan mountains and is
available everywhere, in several different forms. The edible form has
less sodium than regular table salt, but the edible form of this salt
isn’t what we’re here to talk about.
Turn The Lights On
There are natural phenomena that make us feel refreshed or
revitalized. You know, simple things like sitting next to a huge
waterfall, or being in front of rushing waves at the waterfront. If we
were able to soar through the air like birds that would probably do it
too.
What about these natural locations and events gives us the good goosebumps?
Negative ions.
Negative ions are produced in nature and there’s even a way to mimic
them in the walls of your home. Himalayan salt lamps chemically and
physically transform a room – not just in colour and glow, but in its
healthy benefits and effects.
Stay Positive
We are constantly surrounded by positive and negative ions – charged molecules that float through the air without our noticing.
Positive ions
have been dubbed ‘electronic smog’ which sounds cool but is actually
dangerous for our mental health and wellbeing. These ions have been
given a charge by our big screen TVs, smartphones, telephones,
microwaves, computers, and any other electronic wave in the air.
The World Health Organization calls electronic smog “one of the most
common and fastest growing environmental influences” and states that the
health concerns should be taken seriously. Further studies show that
our brains are bombarded by 20 times more frequencies than it should be.
These frequencies attribute to mental health issues, insomnia, nerve
disorders, allergies, and potentially more – more study is needed.
So positive ions aren’t actually a positive thing. They are produced
by just about everything in our 21st Century-style of living and they
need to be neutralized. Fortunately, there is a simple way to give any
room in your house a neutralized (or even negative) ion effect.
The Positivity of Negative Ions
Negative ions are created when a molecule gains a negatively charged
electron. Negative ions attract natural pollutant like dust, mold, and
other allergens and irritants. The ions attach to these pollutants and
give them a negative charge, neutralizing them so they lose their
damaging properties.
Negative ions are mostly produced in natural settings: in the forest,
at the beach, and (most abundantly) near waterfalls. Supposedly these
ions stimulate oxygen flow to the brain, giving us increased mental
alertness and energy. But we can’t all bring huge waterfalls into our
houses.
So where can we get something that will produce negative ions? We
shop for positive ions all the time: new TV, wireless router, microwave
popcorn – but how do we bring a positive ion-neutralizing power into our
homes?
Himalayan Salt Lamps, Of Course
A
Himalayan salt lamp
– also known at “Vitamins of the Air” – is a block of pure Himalayan
salt that came from ancient oceans. With a small bulb on the inside,
these lights produce more than just light – they produce a negative-ion
atmosphere and the health benefits that come with it.
The bulb inside the lamp heats the crystal, emitting negative ions.
Salt is hygroscopic and attracts water from its surroundings – in more
humid environments the lamp will even appear damp or wet. The heat of
the lamp evaporates the water quickly, creating negative ions. The
negative ions go on a mission.
Search and Destroy
Once negative ions are created they want to bind with positive ions.
You know what they say: misery loves company. Well, these negative ions
love to bring positive ions down and in turn, bring our general health
up. The negative ions created by a Himalayan salt lamp will attach to
excessive positive ions like bacteria, mold, and allergens. In doing so,
the lamp neutralizes the electronic smog in your home.
With an ionized room you will feel better, recharged, and
revitalized. In theory, there will be less micro-waves coursing thorugh
your home and being, allowing your mind and body to be at ease. In
addition, the warm glow of the lamp has a soothing effect and will help
you relax.
What Do Himalayan Salt Lamps Do
– Ionize the room
– Balance and neutralize artificial frequencies and unnatural electromagnetic waves from electronics.
– Produce rainbow-spectrum light waves to heal and sooth your body.
Health Benefits
The
Himalayan salt lamps’
health benefits have been reported to start working soon after plugging
the light in and turning it on. Turn on your Himalayan salt lamp to
help with:
- Headaches and migraines
- Arthritis
- Respiratory problems (including colds)
- Mental and stress-related disorders (including insomnia)
- Blood system disorders
If you want to improve the air quality in your house, feel more
relaxed, induce meditation, improve the aforementioned health conditions
and maintain your good health you need to get a Himalayan salt lamp and
put it in your most lived-in room.
The lamps have limited range and won’t work if you put it under your
couch in the farthest dark corner of your basement. Plus, why would you
put it there? You’ve got to show it off – which isn’t hard. Himalayan
salt lamps have an interesting look, and fit lots of different styles.
It can stand out or fit in, depending on your preference. So put your
lamp somewhere you and your family spend a lot of time and in a room
with lots of electronic devices filling the air with positive ions.
These lamps are like plants: the more the better. Have one in every
room, or have one in your most-visited room and your bedroom. Feel the
effects once you enter your house by putting one of the lamps in your
foyer, vestibule, or entrance.
Before The Light Goes Out
One last note: when buying your Himalayan salt lamp make sure to get
one made from real Himalayan salt. There are a lot of fakes on the
market, so check the origin – the real lamps are made from pure, food
grade Himalayan salt. Substitutes from rock salt will not provide you
with the same benefits, if any.
