Himalayan salt lamp is a crystal of salt rock that comes from the Asian mountains especially from the Khewra mine in Pakistan. Himalayan salts lamps are made from the salt crystals. A lamp or a light source is placed in a curved type salt crystal. Some people utilize them to decor their houses while others believe that they facilitate health benefits. There are many benefits of Himalayan salt lamp that are related to health but the three main benefits are:
Air purification
It is claimed that these salt lamps boost up the air quality of your home. They are more beneficial for the people who suffered respiratory problems such as asthma or the diseases that strike with the respiratory functions. This is also a convenient choice for people who are allergic to dust or other environmental allergies. The salt lamps remove the pathogens from the air or other dust particles and purify the air and enhance its quality. There is no current evidence on this that it must improve air quality. This idea came from the concept of an old therapy which is halo therapy in which people spent time in salt caves to treat their respiratory problems.
They can improve your mood
Another claim about that they nurture your mood. Some studies related to animals have shown that when the animals are exposed to high levels of negative ions in the air they improved the serotonin release which is a hormone and helps in the regulations of mood swings. More studies revealed that people who are depressed when they are exposed in an environment full of negative ions like salt ions are reported enhancement in their moods in a positive way. These studies do not clear the dose relationship of the negative ions that how many doses of these ions required to regulate your mood.

Improved sleep
They can help individuals to sleep better. But there are not examined effects of the salt lamps on the sleep. If the lamps improve the air quality by air ionization then they can also improve your sleep patterns. But the better sleep is related to the intensity of the light source if the salt crystal curve using the dim light then it will enhance the sleep quality rather than the bright heat source which disrupts your sleep patterns. The dim light in the salt crystal promotes the relaxation and boost up the sleep quality.
The Himalayan salt lamp are attractive can minimize the stress or anxiety of a person and allow them to spend some relaxing moments in a high negative ions environment.
