Himalayan Salt Lamps

When heated, salt lamps emit negative ions, ionizing the atmosphere and interacting with our bio-energetic field. Natural phenomena like rainstorms, waterfalls, lightning, sunlight, ocean waves, and wind all create negative ions and that is why we feel regenerated when we are in nature.  Grounding (Earthing) – taking a walk barefoot in nature (grass, water, sand) – is recognized by research to increase exposure to negative ions. Not only are we bombarded with EMF in our home, our office,  and on our streets, but any type of stress causes inflammation, and inflammatory cytokines are positively charged as well. Direct physical contact with earth’s surface electrons “has been found to promote intriguing physiological changes and subjective reports of well-being”, e.g. better sleep and reduced pain (Chevalier, 2012). Chevalier rightly calls it “a simple and easily accessed global modality of significant clinical importance”.

While there is to date no direct research on the Himalayan salt lamps to my knowledge, between the research we do have above and their great medicinal reputation,  I do feel they are of value, especially to very sensitive individuals. We have these lamps by our bed stands and I have another by my work computer.

You can also get a candle holder. Just make sure you buy from a reputable store that has authentic products.
