crucial to keep your lamp indoors. Salt is a natural substance; the salt
lamps look different than rock salt when it is mined. Keeping your crystal
salt lamp outside will result in damaging the look. In addition, the
elements could cause electrical problems if the lamp uses a bulb since the
lamp isn’t made to be used outside. In fact, using the lamp in any place
where there is high amounts of direct contact moisture is a bad idea. If you
want to use your. Salt Lamps can be used in the bathroom areas just make
sure it is not close to running water of any kind.

make sure it isn’t overly wet. Pat the rock salt lamp dry if you see any
excess moisture on it.

full of moisture, as is the air in your house when it is rainy. When the
weather is humid, make good use of you lamp! Turn it on as it will enjoy the
extra moisture and convert it to a clean fresh relaxing energy. Salt Lamps

SELECTING RIGHT
SALT LAMPS....
Salt
lamp is formed from rock salt found in the Himalayan Mountains. The
mountains were created by huge geological forces that resulted, as
theorized, with the existing ocean being forced inside the mountain range
during the massive continental shifts. Perhaps even more importantly these
areas are largely untouched by humans and therefore have a pollution free
composition. Salt lamps come in many shapes, sizes and colors we have
found that the highest quality lamps generally have a medium to deep
color. The color range to look for is the medium orange, pink and reds.
Next is the shape of the lamp, there are many to chose from so you may
want to discover which shape works best for you and what appeals to your
sense of style.
Many find that once they get one or two salt lamps they naturally want to
acquire more. You can choose to buy multiple salt crystal lamps in the
same style to keep the look of your home consistent. Or, you can choose
different geometric shapes and styles for each room! Some of the most
common salt lamp shapes include our abundance bowls, spheres, pyramids,
and natural crystal lamps.
Next, it is important to choose the proper or correct size of the salt
lamp that works best for you. Almost any option is great, but you must
choose the one that works with your lifestyle and décor. A great rule of
thumb to follow, for every pound of lamp the corresponding negative Ion
benefit is estimated at 15 square feet. So it is important to choose the
appropriate sizes for the considered areas.
It doesn’t matter if you choose a larger salt lamps or one that works with
out a bulb—size matters. Giant and mountain salt lamps are available to
fill those larger spaces in your home, and many choose to purchase the
largest salt lamp to maximize the negative ion benefit. These are great
options, but please remember that you can choose these items even if you
don’t have the room for large salt lamps. On top of that, you can choose
bath salts and spa products made from Himalayan rock salt. These have the
same healthy, calming effect on the body, but are much less expensive and
easier to fit into even a small apartment or condo. No matter what your
needs, there are a salt lamps or natural salt products for you…..
HOW
DO SALT LAMP EFFECT YOUR HEALTH???
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 lamp
really works.
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 than they use. Tobacco,
smog from factories, cell phones, and heaters are just a few of the other
things that output a large percentage of negative 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 near 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 air 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.
HIMALAYAN SALT LAMPS AND YOUR
MENTAL HEALTH....
Salt Lamp have been
used for years to improve the air quality in the home. Although some
people are skeptics, it is becoming more and more apparent that these salt
lamps can really change your physical well-being, especially your response
to breathing problems like allergies, asthma, and second-hand smoke.
However, did you know that Himalayan salt lamps could help to improve your
mental health as well? Consider purchasing a few for your home, as they
may help you lead a calmer, happier life.
Himalayan Salt Lamps
and other salt products change the air around us by emitting an abundance
of negative ions. Naturally, all items in the world charge the ions in the
air differently, with the ratio of negative and positive falling equal or,
at least, not being very skewed in either direction. However, cars,
radios, televisions, computers, tobacco, and many other conveniences of
our modern world output positive ions at a much higher rate. Therefore,
the lack of negative ions makes it more difficult to breath.
Scientists are just now beginning to realize the changes this makes to
your mental health as well.
Crystal salt lamps naturally give off an overabundance of negative ions,
which can help to counteract the positive ions given off in your home that
lowers the air quality. Fresh air and sunshine, which you’ll find in
environments like at the beach and in the mountains away from large
cities, will have more negative ions. Therefore, our brains associate
negative ions with happiness and energy. Doctors are now beginning to
study the connection between negative ions and the release from
depression, as negative ions also have an effect on serotonin levels in
the brain.
In addition, many people have reported the significant calming effects
from their salt lamps, probably due to the negative ion output into the
air. Feelings of peace, tranquility, and happiness are common around salt
lamps, just like you’re likely to feel at the beach, where there are high
levels of salt in the air and moving water creating significant negative
ion output. For this reason, many people like to include a Himalayan salt
lamp in their lives to combat stress. Stress is a major catalyst to more
serious health problems, salt lamps can help you lead an overall healthier
life.
Himalayan salt lamps are great, therefore, for use in meditation or
relaxation practice. Many people like to keep a salt lamp in the bathroom
for a relaxing bath and some masseuses have found it beneficial to use a
salt lamp for clients at work. Keep in mind that you can use salt lamps
almost anywhere in your house. Large Salt Lamps can easily become focal
points in a room will smaller salt lamps can act as nice accent pieces in
a bathroom, bedroom, office, or even kitchen. Himalayan salt lamps come in
many shapes as well, so you should be able to find one that is perfect for
you. Help beat stress! Your mental health can be seriously improved by
using salt lamps.
