THE GOOD IN THE GREY

GREY HIMALAYAN SALT LAMP (VARYING DESIGNS) ︱ $37 – $65

Mined from ultra-rare veins of grey salt in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains, the grey color is due in part to traces of two semi-precious stones: Sodalite (blue-grey) & Schorlomite (grey or black — a special kind of garnet), and Magnesium (20 times more than Himalayan Pink Salt). This Grey Himalayan Salt Lamp is available in natural, pyramid & teardrop designs.

RAW IS REAL

HIMALAYAN RAW SALT LAMP (VARYING DESIGNS) ︱ $48 – $78

Real Himalayan salt lamps are actually solid blocks of Himalayan salt that have been hand carved & come from the deep underground mines in Pakistan. The color of Himalayan salt lamps ranges from a light pink to a pinkish orange hue as a result of the mineral concentration within the block. Within the hollowed-out center of this block of salt is a light bulb that emits both light & heat.

FOUR BENEFITS FROM THE BLOCK

BENEFIT 1: AIR PURIFICATION

Negative ions, often called “vitamins of the air,” are reputed to have a number of health properties that include cell rejuvenation, stress relief & increased serotonin levels. They create freshness in the air similar to that found in nature by a waterfall, or shortly after a thunderstorm.

BENEFIT 2: NATURAL IONIZER

Salt lamps balance positive & negative ions, which reduces radiation & airborne infection. Pollution, electronic devices & dust all create off balance environments with more positive ions than negative. A great way to increase your exposure to negative ions is to spend more time in nature, especially around water.

Himalayan salt lamps are said to emit negative ions in small amounts & cancel out positive ones. By neutralizing electromagnetic radiation, they may help reduce the negative health effects of harmful electrosmog. Balancing positive & negative ions may also help reduce the possibility of airborne infections.

BENEFIT 3: HELPS EASE ASTHMA & ALLERGY SYMPTOMS

Himalayan salt is now used in inhalers to bring relief to asthma and allergy sufferers. Raw salt therapy for breathing problems is said to have begun with Siberian salt mine workers in the late 1800s who all had a surprisingly low number of respiratory problems compared to people around them with less salty professions.

BENEFIT 4: MOOD BOOSTER & SLEEP PROMOTER

Another possible health benefit of a raw Himalayan salt lamp is a reduction in the symptoms of anxiety. According to color therapy, the warm pinkish/orange glow of the salt lamp is a calming & happy presence in a room. As mentioned before, Himalayan salt lamps release negative ions into the air, they can help reduce anxiety, as well as encourage a relaxing atmosphere for sleep. Many people like to keep salt lamps in their bedrooms for their calming effect.
