Have you heard about the new salt lamp craze? Everyone seems to be talking about them lately and it’s no wonder why they’re becoming more and more popular in homes across the U.S. They’re helping homeowners fight back against the loss of energy, crankiness and depressed feelings that often come about with the use of TVs, computers and other electronic devices. Not to mention, they work wonders at filtering the air inside our homes.
What are Salt Crystal Lamps?
They are natural ion generators that emit negative ions into the atmosphere. Why does that matter? Negative ions have a number of health benefits – restoring and neutralizing air quality is at the top of the list.
How do they work?
You may have seen big chunks of rock salt in your friend’s or neighbor’s home, and we’re not talking about in the salt shaker! We’re talking salt crystals the size of lamps that heat up and attract moisture. As the water evaporates through the salt, negative ions are emitted into the air.
What are some of the benefits?
Suffer from indoor allergies? A salt crystal lamp can help alleviate your symptoms. In addition, they can increase chi, support your immune system and improve mental alertness. Things everybody could use a bit more of if you ask us!
