Feng Shui Corner - Benefits of a Himalayan Sea Salt Lamp

Welcome to my space for health and meditation. This is my Feng Shui corner where I have collected spiritual figurines from India, Thailand, Singapore, Hawaii, and many other places on this wonderful planet. To bring good luck and thoughts as I look beyond and enjoy my view of the Dubai Sea and skyline.

I wanted to post and share the benefits of a Himalayan Sea Salt Lamp as you see from my window. I have the 7Kg lamp as my room is large. I suggest to purchase one for every room, with a gentle light and health benefits I will share below. The candles have the same therapeutic effects as the lamp.

Before we dive into the health benefits of using Himalayan salt lamps in your home, it may be helpful to first have a brief chemistry lesson:

All matter (the human body, air, water, etc) is made up of molecules which are made up of atoms which are made up of three types of particles: protons (positive charge), electrons (negative charge), and neutrons (no charge). Electrons orbit their molecules like planets revolve around a star. Occasionally an electron flies off and when it does, it leaves behind a positively-charged ion whose sole purpose in life becomes to fill the void left by its little lost electron. In other words: it wants to steal a replacement electron from another molecule. Due to differences in molecular structure (number of electrons in the outermost orbit, strength and structure of electron bonds, etc) some materials lose electrons much more easily than others.

How do Salt Crystal Lamps Work?

Himalayan salt lamps emit negative ions.

The bulb inside of the lamp heats the crystal and supports the ionizing effect. Salt itself is hygroscopic and attracts the water from the surroundings. You can often see that the salt lamp is damp or even wet, especially in more humid environments. Due to the gentle heat of the lamp, the water quickly evaporates and during the evaporation process the beneficial negative ions get created. They go on to bind with excessive positive ions (bacteria, molds and allergens all carry a positive charge) and neutralize the electronic smog in your home.

Moreover, pink Himalayan salt lamp is a very pure source of light and its multi-colored glow has a soothing effect and relaxes you.

Scientifically speaking, the Himalayan salt lamp achieves the following things:

It ionizes the room.
It balances artificial frequencies and unnatural electromagnetic wavelengths that originate from electronic appliances.
It produces the light waves of the rainbow spectrum which protect your body.

Health Benefits of Himalayan Salt Lamps

People using salt lamps report improvement in their physical and mental well-being soon after starting to light them. They are said to help with:

respiratory problems (including colds)
allergies
skin conditions
mental and stress-related disorders (including insomnia)
headaches and migraines

Due to their calming colors (different shades of orange and pink), rock lamps have also been used in color therapy to help treat neurotic disorders and sleeplessness.
