Formerly reserved for followers of alternative practices, salt crystal lamps of the Himalayas are always more popular.
They are distinguished from other lamps by the subdued lighting they produce, which many immediately find particularly soothing, for no particular reason.
More than just decorative objects, these lamps are real sources of immediate well-being.
They act in many areas, both physically and mentally: air purification, stress reduction, increased energy, improved sleep …
Where do these effects come from and what are the virtues of salt crystal lamps ? Let’s discover them together.
Balance the air around us
The atmosphere around us is charged with electric particles and especially ions, both positive and negative, in equal parts.
It is important to respect this balance to feel at ease in any environment, whatever it is. But many elements inseparable from our modern life emit a surplus of positive ions, which has the consequence of disrupting our well-being, both physical and psychic.
Positive ions are associated with light and are particularly emitted in large quantities by screens: computers, televisions, tablets, etc. which are vectors of electromagnetic pollution and therefore sources of fatigue.
Because they emit negative ions, the main virtue of salt crystal lamps is to restore this ionic balance in the air. Negative ions are associated with nature, and in particular water.
Waterfalls in the mountains are a great source of negative ions and many know the calming effect one feels nearby.
Given the ubiquity of electronic devices in our daily lives both in our homes and offices, a salt crystal lamp can help purify the atmosphere by rebalancing the charge of ions in the air.
The double effect of light: calm and dynamism
In addition to their ionization effects, Himalayan salt crystal lamps give the room a calming look. Subdued and indirect, the light produced by these lamps has an almost immediate relaxing effect on the majority of people.
Especially because it is the same type of pink or orange luminosity that we perceive in our mother’s womb, warm and reassuring.
Since the color is also reminiscent of the light of the setting sun, these lamps are used during chromotherapy sessions, they allow the patient to be energized.
Benefits for all
Produced from natural elements, each salt crystal lamp is unique. If everyone can benefit from it, its effects will nevertheless improve the feelings of several categories of people:
- Because they clean the air, crystal salt lamps are particularly recommended for people who suffer from allergies or respiratory disorders such as chronic cough or asthma,
- The subdued and soft light makes these salt crystal lamps the perfect night lights in the nursery who are afraid of the dark.
- People suffering from anxiety, stress, sleep disorders, mood disorders or even depression (or seasonal depression) will be relaxed and revitalized by these special lamps.
