Himalayan salt lamps are a beautiful, aesthetic addition to
any room in your home and supposedly, they hold some interesting health
properties too.
A few years ago, I was desperate to get my hands on one for
my bedroom. I found them fascinating and I love all things mysterious and
magical. I almost bought one at a Christmas market, but couldn’t justify the
expense (after buying so many gifts for my loved ones!) and then I met my
oldest friend for a drink and to swap gifts and BAM! She’d bought me a
Himalayan Salt lamp! I was blown away by the intuitive nature of her gift and
it has sat pride of place on my bedside table ever since.
Recently, I started researching to learn more about these
intriguing objects and I was fascinated by what I learnt. There may not be a
lot (if any) scientific value behind the benefits of salt lamps, but the theory
is there. I was also surprised to learn there are a lot of fakes out there and
I looked sadly upon my lamp wondering if it was the real deal or if my friend
had been duped.
So, here’s a brief look into the proposed benefits of these lamps and how it all works and a little advice on how to realise if your lamp is legitimate or a lie.
