Q: What is a Salt Lamp?
A: Our salt lamps are mined from the foothills of the Himalayas in Pakistan and include an attached base, quick-change lighting assembly, and a 110 volt AC light bulb. There are other models that use tea light candles also. Not all salt lamps are created equal! Be sure to ask if the salt lamp includes not only the crystalline salt rock, but that it has a protective base that is attached, an electrical fixture, and a bulb included in the price of the lamp.
Q: How does it work?
A: The salt lamp emits negative ions and purifies the air. Air, mold, and man-made pollutants contaminate the air with an over-abundance of positive ions. The air is continuously charged with these positive ions through the use of computers, microwave ovens, televisions, and many other appliances that emit electromagnetic frequencies. The salt lamps emit negative ions to help restore the natural balance of ions in the environment.
Q: What are the benefits of a salt lamp?
A: The benefits of salt lamps include:
- counteracting harmful electromagnetic frequencies
- reducing humidity in the air which decreases mold and germs
- antiseptic action against airborne and skinborne bacteria and viruses
- asthetically pleasing and provides a calming effect
- emits a natural, ambient light
- reduces a myriad of indoor pollutants
- may provide relief from sinus problems, migraine headaches, allergies & hayfever
- reduce the severity of asthma attacks
- enhance the immune system
- increase work productivity and concentration
- increase lung capacity & reduce susceptibility to colds and flu.
Q: How are salt lamps made?
A: Salt is one of the most important and oldest compounds being used. Crystal salt lamps are just another practical application of natural salt. The salt rocks from which these lamps are prepared are from the Khewra Salt Mines in Pakistan and are millions of years old.
Q: Do natural crystal salt lamps help with mold and germs in the home?
A: Yes, they help with mold and germs in the home by reducing the humidity in the air and by emitting negative ions into the air.
