Himalayan Salt Lamps Soar in Popularity

Himalayan Salt Lamps continue to grow in popularity as more consumers look to natural health remedies for assistance in cleansing the air and relieving allergy symptoms.
A Himalayan Salt Lamp is a chunk of Himalayan Crystal Salt that has been mined from deep within the Himalayan Mountains and attached to a sturdy base made of Rosewood. These lamps range in size from 3 pounds to 80 pounds, or more! The Salt Lamp is drilled out at the center of the base underneath the lamp, to provide a space for a light bulb. Adding a light inside a Himalayan Salt Lamp warms the salt from within and facilitates the release of negative ions from the salt into the atmosphere.
Miners who work deep below the earth’s surface in the mines of the Himalayan Mountains rarely suffer from allergies, asthma, and other respiratory ailments. This is because they spend their days in an environment saturated with negative ions, which Himalayan Salt naturally releases. The air we breath every day is filled with negative and positive ions and, in order to maintain a healthy living atmosphere, these negative and positive ions must remain in balance.
Unfortunately, many of the conveniences of modern life, such as our electronic devices and heating and cooling systems, produce an abundance of positive ions which throw the air we breath completely out of balance. That, in turn, can contribute to the development of allergies, asthma, stress, insomnia and other sleep disorders, sinus and migraine headaches, and a host of other health problems for many individuals.
