The salt in these lamps come from the Himalayan Mountains and have been scientifically proven to have a positive effect on the environment and health. The environment we live in is full of pollutants, especially from electrical devices such as microwaves, mobile phones and TV’s. These devices emit large amounts of positive ions which are known to be quite damaging to the atmosphere, creating physical and mental fatigue.
When these Salt Lamps are lit, they draw moisture from the air and convert the damaging positive ions into negative ions into the surrounding area, purifying the air in the process. This in turn, helps with relaxation and stress and can alleviate conditions such as fatigue, migraines, anxiety, hay fever, depression, insomnia, colds and ADD. Therefore having a lamp in a room such as the living room can dramatically improve the atmosphere and mood of the whole area.
Please remember that they are not suited to areas of excess moisture or humidity like bathrooms or outdoor living spaces. To clean your lamp, wipe it with a damp cloth and then turn it on to allow the heat to dry it off.
