In addition to its aesthetic and decorative appeal, the Himalayan salt lamp has many advantages for anyone interested in feng-shui or energy-based wellness methods.

Discover 5 reasons to adopt a Himalayan salt lamp in your home today! Salt lamps  are created from crystalline rock from the Himalayas. Being a raw, natural product, each lamp is unique. Shape, thickness and translucency may therefore vary from one lamp to the next. That's what makes it so charming. 

A salt lamp to find harmony

A salt lamp provides warm, subdued lighting. As soon as it's switched on, it adds a Zen touch to your space, inviting relaxation. What's more, the presence of negative ions is said to help reduce stress and nervousness, and improve sleep. 

Focus on negative ions

Our environment is constantly bombarded with positive ions from various sources, such as household appliances, pollution and even the weather. Have you ever felt nervous before a summer thunderstorm, and your mood improved as soon as the rain stopped? This is due to the presence of positive ions before the storm. On the other hand, rain, like morning dew, has negative ionizing properties. Negative ions bring calm, reassurance and serenity. 

Reduce allergies and respiratory problems with the salt lamp

People suffering from respiratory allergies or breathing disorders could place their lamp in their living room or near their workspace. The negative ions chase away electrostatic electricity, preventing dust, dust mites and mold from flying around. In addition to daily aeration, the salt lamp would purify the atmosphere in enclosed spaces. 

Raising a room's vibratory rate

Those who are sensitive and open to energies will enjoy the benefits of a salt lamp thanks to its ability to raise a room's energy level. A room with a low vibratory rate would not be relaxing or rejuvenating. On the contrary, it would be energy-intensive. The people in it might feel constantly tired, unmotivated or foggy. Thanks to its negative ions, the salt lamp helps to restore balance and raise the vibratory level of a room. By way of comparison, the natural locations where negative ions are most prevalent are the mountains, the seaside and the open countryside. 

Improve sleep disorders

Insomnia, night-time awakenings and nightmares are just some of the problems that affect sleep quality. Once again, negative ions restore the electromagnetic charge of the ambient air, making it easier to fall asleep and get a good night's sleep. In fact, if you have a clock radio plugged into the mains, an electrical socket close to the headboard and poor ventilation or air circulation in your bedroom, there's a good chance that your atmosphere is charged with positive ions. 

A salt lamp in a workspace

The salt lamp discharges negative ions into the atmosphere of the room. This has the effect of calming stress and improving mental clarity. Offices are generally sources of electromagnetic pollution, with computers, wifi boxes, cell phones, fax machines, tablets etc... Himalayan salt lamp posed close to you will help create an atmosphere conducive to concentration and intellectual effort. 

Taking care of your salt lamp

The salt lamp is fragile: it's sensitive to humidity. To clean it, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If you're no longer using it, it's best to wrap it up tightly to prevent the ambient humidity from melting it. Please note that a salt lamp is not a miracle product, and no scientific study has confirmed or refuted its potential benefits. Its range of action is limited. One lamp would suffice for a bedroom or the sofa corner of your living room. To enjoy its benefits in a larger room or one with a high ceiling, you may need several.
