Another thing that can help improve one’s mental state is meditation. It encompasses a set of techniques that are done to improve a person’s awareness and focus.
Now, we are introducing to you another item that may help you win all challenges that you will face in your life: the Himalayan Salts Lamp.
This lamp is named as such because it is a lamp made up of pink salts crystals found near the mountains of the Himalaya. This lamp radiates a pinkish amber glow as its light bulb glows under the pink salt. You may have seen one of these already in your friend’s house, your co-worker’s work table, or a spa lobby. It became known today mostly for the soothing ambiance it gives, and for the beauty of its design. They come in different designs, and you can choose which one you think will best complement your space: there is a pyramid-shaped Himalaya salt lamp, a bowl of hearts Himalaya salt lamp, and a bowl of chunks Himalaya salt lamp. One more remarkable fact, Himalaya salt lamps have been existing since the 1980s. This is because there have been claims that this lamp has “serious health benefits.”
Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve the air quality in one’s home, the respiratory system of one’s body, mood, and quality of sleep. The mechanism behind this can be explained by positive and negative ions. Positive ions negatively affect us by interfering with our body’s sensory system, while negative ions positively affect us because they improve our mood, stimulate our sensory system, enhance our appetite, and relieve us from allergies. The pink salts of the lamp are able to give out their different benefits to people by releasing negative ions. These negative ions increase the activity of the cilia in our nose–the cilia are responsible for filtering out foreign particles preventing them from entering the lungs. With that, the Himalayan salt lamps enhance one’s respiratory system keeping the lungs clean. It is said to be very effective in helping one’s breathing which is why some companies manufactured inhalers out of Himalayan salts for patients suffering from respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis. Because of this, it can be an alternative to air purifiers. However, of course, if you think air purifiers are still the best, All Home offers Toshiba air purifier, Brikk air purifier, Cherry Home air purifier, and Firefly air purifier
Another benefit of the negative ions emitted by the lamp is increased energy levels, which is why people say that they feel rejuvenated. It results in decreased stress, thus enhancing the overall performance of the brain, specifically one’s concentration. This is made possible by the increase in blood and oxygen supply to the brain. It regulates the mood of an individual as well by stimulating the happy hormone, serotonin, in the brain. The improved sleep effect is also a result of increased blood and oxygen supply to the brain, but the soothing glow from the lamp is said to help people with insomnia.
Knowing all these benefits, the Himalayan salt lamp can be placed in at least three locations in our homes to ensure that we benefit from them. First is in a common area like the living room or garden where people mostly spend a lot of their time watching their favorite films or hanging out with their family. Both places are perfect for everyone in the household to be able to inhale better air quality and to have an improved respiratory system. You can admire it in your living room by putting it on a center table making it the center of attraction or in your garden as you sit on your outdoor tables and chairs.
The second place to put the lamp is in the bedroom on the bedside table by your bed where you can see its glowing light from. That will be good since the glow from the lamp is said to help you sleep. Putting it there will also decrease the distance between you and the lamp, thus letting the negative ions reach you easily.
The third place to put the lamp is in your bathroom, placed on a stool, or a shelf. Make sure to keep it from being wet because it is still supplied by electricity, and you don’t want to get electrocuted in case of an accident. This is great especially when you have a bathtub. With these two things, you will surely be rejuvenated.
Getting a salted Himalaya lamp seems to be a great choice given all its benefits. However, there is currently not enough scientific evidence that can prove the said effects of the lamp. Still, with it becoming popular again like in the 1980s, that must mean that there’s some truth to the benefits people say it has. Moreover, its beauty seems like an art piece that will definitely brighten up someone’s mood wherever it is placed.
