All of our Tealight Himalayan Salt Lamps are made completely from natural Himalayan crystal salt rock providing all the benefits of natures own ionizer and air purifier. The most well known benefit of a Himalayan Salt Lamp is their incredible power to remove dust, pollen, cigarette smoke and other contaminants from the air through the power of hygroscopy. This means they attract water molecules from the surrounding environment and absorb those molecules, as well as any foreign particles they may be carrying, into the salt crystal. As the lamp warms up from the heat produced by the candle inside that same water then evaporates back into the air and the trapped particles of dust, pollen, smoke etc remain locked in the salt. Because Himalayan Salt Lamps remove microscopic particles from the surrounding air placing a lamp or two in the rooms where you spend the most time can seriously cut back on allergy symptoms, even people who suffer from asthma should notice a big difference.
When the Himalayan Salt Lamp heats up and begins its hygroscopic cycling of airborne particles it also changes the charge of the molecules which are released. The majority of homes are filled with positively charged ions which aren’t particularly good for a person’s health. The positive ions are created by a number of things, but the primary source for most of us is from our electronics. One of the health detriments of breathing lots of positive ions in the air is that the cilia (microscopic hairs) which line the trachea (windpipe) become sluggish and don’t work as well to keep contaminants out of our lungs. As a Himalayan Salt Lamp absorbs water and particles from the air it also takes positive ions with them. Then, when the heated salt releases cleansed water vapor back into the air, it also expels negative ions which have the opposite effect on our airways increasing cilial activity to keep your lungs clear.
Himalayan Salt Lamps naturally contain cracks and veins that make each one unique. The colours can range from light pink to a deep dark pink. In addition to all of the benefits above adding a Himalayan Salt Lamp to your living or work space will create a relaxing and warm atmosphere in any room.
