What is the origin and significance of a salt stone lamp?
A salt stone lamp consists of a block of salt crystals from theHimalayas (usually Pakistan) with a hole inside to hold the bulb, and a base usually made of wood.
Himalayan salt contains not only sodium chloride, but also trace elements such as magnesium, potassium and zinc. It is these trace elements that give this rock salt its extra richness, as well as its orange-pink hue.
The salt lamp, with its soft, warm and subdued light, is a must-have for zen and cocooning atmospheres. It is particularly appreciated for creating a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere.
Made from natural salt stones, it adds a touch of nature to your interior design, while providing you with its many daily benefits.
What are the benefits of a salt lamp?
Known for thousands of years for its healing, regenerative, purifying and protective properties , Himalayan salt has many benefits to enhance your well-being and reduce physical and mental stress.
Salt lamps: a solution for air purification?
A salt lamp in a room can be an effective solution for depolluting and purifying the ambient air . Our environment is often overloaded with various pollutants, which overload the air with positive ions (an ion is an atom or molecule carrying a "positive" or "negative" electrical charge). Too many positive ions in the air can be harmful to your health and cause respiratory problems such as asthma.
A salt lamp naturally produces negative ions and attracts water molecules charged with impurities, pollutants, dust and pollen present in the room. The salt stone will keep them and let the purified water molecules evaporate.
Results :
purified air every day for a healthy atmosphere
less dust (ideal for less cleaning)
fewer pollutants (ideal for your health)
less pollen (ideal for allergy sufferers)
less static electricity
And it works with the lamp off, even if the ionizing effect is stronger when the lamp benefits from the heat of the bulb.
Healthy air for a healthy body
When we breathe air rich in negative ions (as is naturally the case when we're near a waterfall or in a lush forest), our brain and whole body benefit from better oxygenation and this has a significant effect on our daily health and well-being. For example:
To promote restful sleep
To fall asleep quickly, and get a peaceful and restful night's sleep, we need to secrete enough melatonin, the sleep hormone. Stress, blue light from screens, poor air quality, poor diet... can disrupt or prevent optimal melatonin secretion and thus cause sleep disorders.
Spending time (relaxing, listening to soft music or an audio book, for example) in a room lit only by a salt lamp before going to bed stimulates melatonin secretion and soothes the mind.
To reduce or prevent respiratory problems
Many respiratory disorders are directly linked to air quality . By improving air quality and reducing the presence of pollutants, dust and pollen, a salt lamp can help reduce symptoms.
For better concentration
Healthy air, a well-oxygenated brain and a calmer body and mind all contribute to better concentration. Placing a salt lamp in your office or workplace can be a great help.
The energetic virtues of a salt lamp

A salt lamp is particularly beneficial during convalescence or to prevent depression (especially seasonal depression linked to lack of natural light).
When to light the salt lamp?
A salt lamp can be switched on at any time and remain on for up to 12 hours at a time without any danger. What's more, LED bulbs consume very little energy.

Caution: do not place a salt lamp in a damp area such as a bathroom, some poorly ventilated kitchens or outdoors. Too much humidity causes the salt to melt.
How to clean and maintain a salt lamp?
A salt lamp can be cleaned with a cloth or feather duster, but not with water or household products.
Is it necessary to purify a salt stone lamp?
Salt absorbs undesirable energies , so you need to purify your salt lamp regularly with fumigation (sage, rosemary, cedar, incense or other plants) or the sound and vibration of a singing bowl, drum or chime.
Which bulb to choose for a salt lamp?
LED oven and refrigerator bulbs are perfectly suited to Salzkristall lampe and consume little energy but emit no heat, so the ionizing effect is less strong than with a filament bulb.
How do you know if a salt lamp is real?
Nothing could be simpler: as a salt lamp is carved from a block of raw salt, it must taste like salt.
What precautions should I take with a salt lamp? Are there any contraindications?
As with all stones, it's important to listen to your feelings. There are no general contraindications, although some people have experienced digestive problems when sleeping with a salt lamp. These problems disappear when the lamp is moved to another room in the house.
As far as precautions are concerned, it' s essential to avoid too much moisture where the lamp is located and of course, as with all electrical appliances, check that the power cable and plug are not damaged.
In the event of physical or mental disorders, illness or pathology, the salt lamp is no substitute for appropriate medical care.
