HIMALAYAN PINK SALT LAMPS

Himalayan salt lamps are hand carved from amber-colored Himalayan rock salt. These carved Salt Crystals are then hollowed out to fit a lightbulb inside. When you light them, they give out a warm, reddish-pink glow.
People claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, enhance your mood, and help you better sleep, ease allergies, help people with asthma breathe better, among other benefits. However, there is little research to support these purported health benefits. Users of these decorative pieces say they do more than lighten up a room. The claims sound impressive.
Himalayan salt lamps are carved from the mineral-rich, pink salt mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan. The salt this mine produces has a reddish, pink, or off-white color. Some people buy them to decorate their home, while others believe they provide health benefits.
So while these lamps continue to grow in popularity for their artful and soothing vibe, it’s best to take all of the claimed health benefits with, well, a grain of salt. Still, if you like the lamp’s pinkish hue, there’s no need to get rid of it. Just be sure to practice good fire safety and keep the lamp in an area where it can’t be knocked over and out of reach of children and pets.
