Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamp
Have you ever heard about or seen one of these beautiful Himalayan Salt Crystal lamps?
We purchased one about two weeks ago and would recommend one to anybody.
Not only is the soft orange/peach glow so relaxing, there are actually health benefits to using one.
These lamps are made from pollutant free salt crystals that were formed at the base of the Himalaya Mountains hundreds of millions of years ago.
The light bulb inside the lamp warms the crystals which causes negative ions to be released naturally into the air.
Pollution, smoke, allergens, and viruses are all positive ions, so the negative ions from this lamp help to neutralize them for more refreshing, healthful, and clean air.
I find that it even helps to reduce the “static” in the air which is so abundant during this time of the year.
Since this is a pure salt crystal - water is it’s enemy, and during very humid weather it will become damp and it may even crystallize. Just turning it on and letting it warm up will take care of this problem.
We will have to keep an eye on it this summer.
I love the feeling this lamp produces, and it is all provided naturally by Mother Nature.
I’ve seen these and they are lovely but I worry that the humidty here in Florida would be really bad for them. I would love to hear how yours does in the summer.

January 30th, 2010 at 10:51 pmThis is such a great idea! Where did you get it?? I love the thought of filling our house with negative ions - since we’re in the desert, it may be the closest we get to “large bodies of water” LOL!
January 31st, 2010 at 1:08 pmI’ve seen these all over, like in stores, shoe shops, etc. I don’t have one but I think it would be neat to do so. I didn’t know about the humid weather problem though. Interesting post!

January 31st, 2010 at 6:38 pmHi Sniffie - I will let you all know how it reacts to the humidity. With all the snow outside though, it won’t be for many months! Can’t wait!
January 31st, 2010 at 7:47 pmHi Dianne - we found it at Marshalls, but if you do a google search online - you will find many of them. I bet it would work great in that desert air. Good luck!
January 31st, 2010 at 7:49 pmThanks for stopping by, Carol. Glad you liked the post!
January 31st, 2010 at 7:50 pmThanks for reminding me about these!
I can’t wait to get one! Keep us updated on how it’s working!
January 31st, 2010 at 8:19 pmI have a salt rock crystal lamp - they are very good! Salt rock crystals are the old-fashioned way of changing the ions in the atmosphere from positive to negative. This means that all of the dust and pollen fall to the ground making the air in the room healthier to breathe. It is also alleged that if you keep one near to a computer - it will help to diminish any detrimental effects the computer may have on your health. I am not sure whether the Himalayan variety are the same - but I should imagine so.
January 31st, 2010 at 10:08 pmI think I have read about this some months ago but did not pay much attention to it. It is interesting to know what it can do. I am sure it will be relaxing to have a lamp like that in the house especially with the negative ions being produced.
