A few years ago, I got my first Himalayan salt lamp, and have loved them ever since. Now I have one in my living room and one in my bedroom. If you don't know much about these multitasking beauties, here are just a few reasons to get one (or more) for yourself!
Instant Mood Elevator
Typically, these salt lamps give off a soft pink glow that electrifies any space with a calming, romantic vibe. I always have my lamps on because I love looking at them, especially at night. They also come in different hues and some even change colors depending on their settings.
They're Natural Air Purifiers
According to the insert I got with my lamps, "Salt lamps emit negative ions, which work like natural ionizers keeping air clean. Negative ions attach themselves to dust, pollen, mold, fungus, and odors. This is known to be very beneficial for respiratory health." That's a huge bonus!
EMF Absorption
The insert also states, "Salt lamps also minimize the effects of positive ions from EMFs and electronic devices". This is another reason I like to keep my lamps on most of the time because the longer they're on, the more effective they can be.
They Provide Dim Lighting
When the sun goes down, it's best to not have a lot of bright lights on. Your brain needs the signal that it's time to start preparing for sleep. Salt lamps provide dim lighting so you can see what you're doing, without being super intense. Having less bright lights on at night is also a great way to save money!
They're Easy to Source
In recent years, these lamps seem to be everywhere, so they're affordable and easy to source. Evolution Salt Co. is the brand I got from Native Sun for around $30. Of course you can find them on Amazon, and even stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, Urban Outfitters, and Earthbound carry them.
Himalayan salt lamps come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Finding one that fits your personal style should be easy. Try them out for yourself and reap these awesome benefits!
