Himalayan pink salt is getting more and more popular these days. People buy it for two different purposes, to add it to their food and to serve as a lamp. If you have seen these lumps you know how beautiful they are, but do you know that there are also some other purposes why you should have them in your home?
There are different benefits that you will get if you bring a Himalayan salt lamp in your home, but however many of them are not proved and many people argue that that is all lie.
One of the benefits that some say you will get if you bring this lamp in your home is fresh air since it will purify the air by releasing negative ions in some way. But there is a problem about this that makes many people question this property of Himalayan salt.
The thing is that these lamps don’t release ions since there is no such mechanism. The only way in which you can get these ions (sodium chloride) is by dissolving the salt lamp in water. But even if you do this nothing will change because they don’t clean the air.
It is also said that these lams help for depression.
Many reports claim that negative ions can have impacts on our mental and emotional health. According to them some buildings have a high positive ion level which can lead to “sick building syndrome,” making you feel depressed.That’s where salt shills step in and talk about the aforementioned ions that aren’t actually being released. Sitting under warm waterfall will make you feel better due to the negative ions that it releases, but if you watch the waterfall on TV it won`t help you at all. The same goes for the salt lamps that have no effect over you.
Despite these facts some people still support the Himalayan salt lamps and believe in their power. It is up to you to decide whether you are going to believe in these claims or you will ask for some proof.
