Thu, Nov 03, 2016

Amber stocks salt lamps in raw form, carved shapes, and T-lights. Salt lamps are simply large pieces of pure Himalayan salt with a small bulb inside. It is important to make sure that the lamp is from a pure Himalayan crystal source and not a cheap imitation made from rock salt.

At any given time, there are both positive and negative ions in the air and Himalayan salt lamps are natural ion generators which emit negative ions into the atmosphere, helping to restore and neutralise air quality. Negative ions occur more often in nature and they are often created by things like lightning storms, sunlight, waterfalls, and ocean waves. This is one of the reasons people often report feeling renewed or refreshed after a storm or at the beach.
