The Salt Lamp


 
Salt Lamps Cleanse & Deodorize the Air

This is why the majority of people use them – it's their amazing ability to remove dust, pollen, cigarette smoke, and other contaminants from the air. 

But how is this possible, it’s just a big rock of salt with a light bulb inside, right?

Well, that's kind of true, but there's a deeper answer.

Salt lamps purify air through the power of hygroscopy, meaning that they attract water molecules from the surrounding environment then absorb those molecules – as well as any foreign particles they may be carrying – into the salt crystal. As the HPS lamp warms up from the heat produced by the light bulb inside, that same water then evaporates back into the air and the trapped particles of dust, pollen, smoke, stay in the salt.

 Reduce Allergy & Asthma Symptoms
Because salt lamps remove microscopic particles of dust, pet dander, mold, mildew from the surrounding air, allergy and asthma suffers should notice a big improvement after a week or two, helping to keep the lungs clear.

So, besides removing contaminants from the air, salt lamps also help your body to filter air more efficiently so any foreign particles you do happen to breathe won’t make it into your lungs.

 Increase Energy Levels are another benefit.
As we are expose to increased concentrations of negative ions such as those generated by salt lamps salt lamp in the room or rooms, after about a week, you should notice a difference.

 Neutralize Electromagnetic Radiation
With all the electromagnetic (EM) radiation coming from our electronics (television, computer, cell phone, tablet, appliances, stereo) the long-term effects of this exposure can increase stress levels, cause chronic fatigue, and decrease the body’s immune response, among other things.
As they emit negative ions into the air, salt lamps work to neutralize electromagnetic radiation. Keep one next to the computer, television, and any other electrical devices which you use frequently to reduce the potential issues to you and your family.

 A Good Nights Sleep
Because salt lamps are natural negative ion generators, they improve the air quality so you can get a better night’s sleep.

Mood, Anxiety & Concentration
Salt lamps naturally enhance your mood or to help you relax and unwind at the end of the day. And they are great for improving concentration. Again, this is due to the effect of the negative ions on your body, improving blood and oxygen supply to the brain and other organs, as well as providing a boost of serotonin – the neurotransmitter which makes us (literally) happier and less anxious.

Salt lamps release negative ions into the air, which reduce anxiety, and promote a relaxing, peaceful environment for sleep. Because salt occurs naturally in the Earth, it automatically emits negative ions, just as you can find in waterfalls, oceans, and other natural features on our planet.
