I really did not know much about the benefits of Salt Lamps. I heard that they were good for purification but that was all I knew. I had no idea how they were purifying the air but with the air quality issues out there I figured anything would be helpful! I found some fantastic information on the Himalayan Salt Shop site about these lamps. According to their information page:

• These lamps are made of natural crystal salt mined from underground salt mines in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains
• The beautiful orange-reddish Himalayan crystal salt is mounted on a wooden base
• This crystal salt is hundreds of millions of years old and, as a result, has special properties and high mineral content
• Heat from the bulb (in our lamps) or flame (in our candle holders) causes the salt to emit negative ions
• These negative ions bond with the pollutants in the air (positive ions) and neutralize them
• Also, the newly bonded ions become heavier and fall to the ground removing them from the air circulation
• In addition, these negative ions combat electro-smog caused by electronic devices operating in the home
• Symptoms from asthma, allergies, and other illnesses can also subside from the effects of these products

I think the lamp is beautiful. I love the color and it goes great with the decor of my living room. It’s really a perfect accent piece for the house. I can’t say if it’s purifying my air but it can’t hurt to have a beautiful lamp lit in the room. They have so many different lamps to choose from and other salt pieces on their site.
