One of the biggest benefits of using a Himalayan salt lamp is purifying the air around you. It's all because they're "natural ionizers," meaning they change the electrical charge of the circulating air. That's why Himalayan salt lamps are often advertised as being beneficial to those with allergies, asthma or other respiratory diseases (although, it's worth noting there's no evidence to officially prove this). Architectural Himalayan Salt Lamps | 220 lbs.+.: These are almost exclusively used in commercial environments, or in homes where that incredibly special piece is a must have to match the larger scale in that environment. Often used in architectural design to accent large open spaces or as showpieces that are focal points in lobby areas or executive offices. Yet, older human studies investigating claims regarding the psychological effects of air ionization found no consistent effects on mood or feelings of well-being ( 7). While living in a world of advanced technology may be convenient, it may also be harming us with unhealthy EMFs (electromagnetic fields). So Well Himalayan Salt Lamps can help mitigate these EMFs.Furthermore, tests on air ionizers, which emit high levels of negative ions, haven’t yet been shown to benefit people with asthma or improve respiratory function ( 4, 5, 6). 2. They can boost your mood The warmth of the light helps the salt emit negative ions into the air, which bind to airborne particles. The added weight forces pollutants to fall to the ground, creating cleaner and healthier air. These are just a few of the reasons why people often choose to add Himalayan salt lamps to their homes and offices.

Sounds great right? But how exactly is the salt lamp releasing these negative ions? The emission of ions is primarily caused by the alternating actions of the salt’s ability to first absorb water, and then evaporate it. When a lamp warms, it attracts water molecules from the air to its surface. Negative ions build up and are then released. Negatively charged ions help cleanse the air because they attach themselves to contaminates and allergens, which are positively charged. The larger particles formed by this interaction then fall to the ground, and out of the air we’re breathing. The ions cleanse the air of harmful dust, electro smog, bacteria and other toxins. As a result, the salt crystal lamp improves air quality and your body’s health. The claim that they are good for people with respiratory conditions may be partly based on the ancient practice of halotherapy. Extra Large Himalayan Salt Lamps | 16-20 lbs.: Dramatic accents that are ideal for living and great rooms, counter tops, businesses, therapists’ offices, in lofts, large rooms, or wherever greater ionization capabilities are desired. Being said "natural ionizers," salt lamps are believed to emit negative ions into the atmosphere around us; which are thought to boost mental wellbeing, too. Negative ions are found in abundance in nature, particularly around waterfalls and oceans, so for this reason, the negative ions emitted from salt lamps are believed to create a feeling of euphoria (but again, unfortunately, there's not much evidence to say whether this is 100% accurate).
