Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamps
From the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, the purest salt in the world was formed by nature millions of years ago. Mined 800 meters below the surface in salt mines, chunks of salt rocks are brought to the surface. Carefully selected, hand-carved and fashioned into all manner of shapes by talented craftsmen, the salt rocks are ready to be turned into unique, beautiful lamps and candleholders.
What is special about Himalayan Salt Lamps & Candleholders?
Apart from the beautiful, warm and cosy atmosphere they create, salt crystal lamps and candleholders are known to improve the quality of the air by producing negative ions. An ion is a molecule that carries a charge - which can be either positive or negative. Negative ions are beneficial to our health. They act as 'Air Energizers' or as they are sometimes called 'Vitamins of the Air'. In nature a high concentration of negative ions in the air can be found near waterfalls, at the beach, or in the crisp mountain air. Enclosed environments, air pollution, cigarette smoke and electromagnetic pollution reduce the number of healthy negative ions in the atmosphere.
Scientific studies show that salt crystal lamps can increase the negative ion count by up to 300%!
What are the benefits of Himalayan Salt Crystal Products?
Studies have shown that the impact of negative ions on our health and wellbeing is significant. The use of negative ionisation is said to improve a variety of symptoms.
The improved quality of the air enhances the body's utilization of oxygen, assisting concentration and alertness.
Where to use them?
Salt lamps and candleholders are highly beneficial for daily use in offices, near computers and televisions, around smokers, in bedrooms, in meditation rooms, in areas of convalescence like doctor's rooms and health centres and anywhere else where you would like the air quality to be improved or preserved.
Great for children
A salt crystal lamp by the baby's or child’s side will ensure fresh air required for physical and mental growth. Schoolchildren often already show certain stress levels related to activities such as studies, homework and exams.
Care of the Himalayan Salt Lamp & Candleholder
Salt crystal products have the ability to draw water from the surrounding atmosphere. They should never be kept in moist rooms or be placed outdoors. Care should be taken to protect any surface it is placed on. If the crystal does get wet, one should wipe crystal and base off with a towel and turn the lamp on or light the candle, so the warmth of the light dries it. In exceptionally humid or wet weather conditions, the lamp should be left on as much as possible. If the lamp or candleholder is not in use, one should wrap the crystal in plastic to prevent moisture absorption. |
