Are you curious about how Himalayan Salt Lamps work to purify the air and improve your mood? We are going to discuss that today. 

My first experience with a salt lamp was remarkable, almost life-saving.

My First Experience with How a Himalayan Salt Lamp Works.

After looking tirelessly for a home that was affordable (to rent after selling our house) and that would accommodate my mother-in-law and our family, we found a beautiful home overlooking a pond. It had a downstairs bedroom for Mom with a bathroom very nearby.

But there was a problem.

The master bedroom was upstairs, and the previous tenants had smoked in the room. I’m very sensitive to odors, especially smoke. I had not yet learned about the Fresh Air purifier, which I use today.

But I had heard that Himalayan Salt Lamps have amazing odor-reducing properties. So, we went to our local Lassen’s in Bakersfield, California, and spent almost $100 on a large salt lamp that was good for the size of our bedroom.

I plugged the lamp in without expecting a whole lot of results. But within a week, there was a significant reduction in the smoke smell. Within a month, the odor was not detectable at all. I even took my mother up to the room so she could give it her “sniff” test. She could not detect a smoke odor either.

The results were very astounding.

How Do Himalayan Salt Lamps Actually Work?

There are those who claim Himalayan Salt Lamps are “quack” science because there have been no tests to show that they can purify the air.

I love science (real science). Tests or no tests, my nose knows. There was no other causal relationship to why and how the smoke odor vanished from my room.

Those who promote Himalayan Salt Lamps assert that when the salt block is heated (from the light bulb inside), the natural minerals emit negative ions into the air. The negative ions grab pollutants and other debris out of the air, neutralizing them or causing them to fall to the ground.

Himalayan Salt Lamps are also known to help with stray electricity, having the same effects of neutralizing the negative energy. This can also help boost your mood as stray electricity can impact your brain waves negatively.

What Is the Best Himalayan Salt Lamp?

The best lamps are those that are made from natural salt from the Himalayans. Unfortunately, there are imposters on the market.  The lamps should be large enough to cover the area of space that you are wanting to purify. A good rule of thumb is to put a salt lamp near your computer and in every room of the house.

When the lamps are not turned on, they will not help purify the air. The heat from the bulb is what makes them effective. Plus, a lamp that is not plugged in will “weep” overtime because it draws moisture. It is best to keep your lamps plugged in at all times.

Where Can You Find Himalayan Salt Lamps?

Since salt lamps are growing in popularity, more and more businesses carry them. I’ve even seen them at Home Depot and Lowe’s. If you can’t find one locally, Amazon always has beautiful options.
