Sweet Saturdays - Salt Lamp

It's time for Diana's Sweet Saturdays!  Please stop by the other participants and join in the fun!

This is my new Himalayan Salt Lamp.  People believe they have many benefits as outlined here.

'Q: What are the benefits of Himalayan lamps?
A: Himalayan lamps are said to:

Improve air quality by reducing air pollution, airborne dust particles, and airborne bacteria and viruses
Reduce symptoms of asthma, allergies, bronchitis, sinusitis, and other respiratory diseases
Reduce the effects of Season Affective Disorder (SAD) and other mood problems
Reduce stress
Improve concentration
Relieve headaches and migraines
Reduce feelings of fatigue and insomnia'

Beyond all that, it has a peaceful warming glow, very zen!  I love it.  This small one weighs about 6-8 pounds and costs about $40.

wonderful; post, we have salt lamps in our home for several years now, (I have asthma), my kids bought me a huge big one , 35 lbs, poor girl carried through the mall, lol, I love it , it casts such a beautiful glow in our room. We have two 15 pound ones in two other rooms, I truly believe in them.

I might buy a large one for my entertainment area. Hubby has been complaining of a plugged nose lately. He thinks it's due to an allergy. Can't place it in our bedroom, as we like it totally black at night.

Do they use electricity?

Christine said...

C..., they do use electricity, but it is a low wattage bulb, sort of like a night light. It warms the rock and then the ions are released.

Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Wow! This is very interesting. I've never seen one. It's amazing that it might do all that.

Shayla said...

I have never heard of those kind of lamps. Very interesting. Have you witnessed any of the rumored benefits? I am curious.

hi Christine! I have one too at home- in my bedroom. It definitely makes a nice & warm light especially at night when you go to sleep. Had it with me for almost 4 years now.
About the benefits- hmmm.. sure, it could have contributed to some positive effects. But some people say,- " it's all in your mind.." :)

Unknown said...

I cook with Himalayan sea salt!!!

Carol said...

Shayla, some people believe in them, but some think it's all in their minds even just judging from the comments here! But they do cast a warm glow, so I'm happy.
