A NATURAL SOURCE OF WELL BEING



250 million years in the making

250 million years ago two of the worlds land masses collided and pushed up the ocean floor. The bottom of that ancient sea bed became the Himalayan Mountains and the beautiful Himalayan salt crystal lamps were born

Himalayan Crystal Salt lamps are naturally beautiful, especially when glowing in low light. No two salt lamps are identical. Each is unique and hand-carved from 250-million-year-old Himalayan Crystal Salt, ready to illuminate any indoor environment with a healthy, natural glow. These lamps make excellent and unique gifts.


Known as “Vitamins of The Air”, the Salt Crystal lamp is Nature’s best Ioniser which provides multiple health benefits including enhancing immunity, improving sleep and relieving migraines. Find out more about the health benefits of these lamps:


Salt lamps are famous for emitting negative ions that are essential for our health and well being. The warmth of the salt draws in moisture from the air and converts any damaging positive ions to negative ions in the surrounding area. Today’s technology including computers, TV’s, microwave’s, cordless phones, mobile phones etc emit large amounts of positive ions. The potential outcome is physical and mental fatigue. Having a salt lamp converting positive ions into negative ions will assist health and well being.

The salt crystal lamps have a similar effect to the ionizer. However, the natural ionization of a crystal lamp cannot be compared to an ionizer. An ionizer can only have an ionization effect. However, salt crystal lamps have many advantages in many aspects, including improving the general atmosphere of a room. If the lamp is next to a television or computer monitor (do not place a lamp on top of a TV or computer), its effect, through its electromagnetic field, is in approximately the 100-160Hz zone. Our brain waves however, produce only 8Hz according to the Schuman resonance frequency. Therefore, the body is exposed to up to 20 times higher frequency patterns than it is generally used to from these electrical items. The consequences of this exposure results in nervousness, insomnia and lack of concentration or concentration weaknesses!. The salt crystal lamp binds the negative ions with the excess positive ions. When the lamp becomes warm, it absorbs moisture and the crystal will be damp on the surface. This builds up the ion field. Through the lamp, the positively charged atmosphere of a room can be neutralized. In addition to this, the colours of the salt crystal stones have a healing effect. The therapeutic value of the coloured crystals can reorganize the epidermal layer of our skin.

Himalayan Salt Crystal Facts and Information

Negative Ions clean the air of:

  • Dust
  • Pollen (grass, weed and tree pollen)
  • Dust mites
  • Animal dander
  • Mould spores
  • Hay fever
  • Asthma
  • Air purifying and freshening
  • Odour reduction
  • Smoke elimination
  • Seasonal affective disorder
  • Depression
  • Chronic fatigue
Natural Salt Lamp

Himalayan Crystal Salt has been reported in the book, Water and Salt, written by Barbara Hendel M.D. and biophysicist Peter Ferreira as having the same 84 elements that make up our bodies. Life on earth is not possible without salt. Most salt consumed today only consists of two elements, Sodium and Chloride. This is because the salt chemical cleaning process has stripped most of the original healthy elements away. Himalayan Salt Crystals are not tainted by any such methods and will always be the way the earth made them, natural.

What is it about Crystal Salt Lamps that are helping so many people?

It is reported that Salt Lamps have a similar effect to an Ionizer. Salt crystals are said to naturally ionize the surrounding air.

How does this help people?

It is reported that the fresh air found after thunderstorms and near waterfalls is based on the high air permeability of Negative Ions. Having a healthy concentration of Negative Ions can clear the air of nasty pollutants that cause illness and disease.

How does your Himalayan Natural Salt Lamp Actually Emit Negative Ions?

The emission of ions is caused by the alternating actions of the crystal rock salt’s ability to absorb water, and then evaporate into the air. A heated salt crystal lamp will attract water molecules from the air, forming a NaCl and H20 solution. Sodium is a positive ion, and Chloride, a negative ion. Hydrogen has a two part negative charge and Oxygen is a positively charged ion. These ions create a reaction of two positive ions and three negative ions. After cancelling each other out, one lone negative ion is produced. This negative ion seeks out the first positive ion like a dust, or bacteria particle and zaps it. This is the process of positive ion reduction and is how our Himalayan Salt Lamps work.
