There are few things lovelier to look at and better for your home
environment and health than Himalayan salt lamps. The rich, warm, amber
glow of these lamps will illuminate any room—and bring along a large
host of other benefits.When heat from the bulbs or candles (there are both electric and
wick-lit options) inside of these lamps infuses the Himalayan salt
crystals with heat, a chemical reaction takes place. As the rules of
chemistry state, when salt is heated, even slightly, it begins to emit
negative ions.
This process of negative ionic charge in itself is nothing unexpected;
what has surprised researchers is the amazing bonding process that
occurs when these negatively-charged ions bond with pollutants and other
impurities in the air, neutralizing them, and making the air anywhere
in range of the lamp as clear as a breeze from the Himalayans.
