The best place for a Himalayan pink salt lamps is quite close to where you spend a lot of time so you can breathe in the fresher air it generates directly.
The hygroscopic air cleaning effect is not dependant on negative ions and is the basic science of water vapour attraction and evaporation.
By a coffee table next to the seat where you watch TV is a great place, as is your work desk at home, or even at the office if you feel like you can have a salt rock lamp there.
Not only will it help clean the air and expose you to at least some negative ions, it may also help counteract electromagnetic radiation and provides a gentle, soothing pink glow.
Most people who own Himalayan crystal lamps report that they find them very relaxing to be near. A high percentage also attribute positive health benefits to them. Perhaps they work in other ways that science doesn’t quite understand yet.
If salt lamps are a hoax, they’re certainly a very popular one. After many hours of reading research, articles, forums and comments about Himalayan lamps, I’ve found the vast majority of those who use them express various kinds of beneficial effects.
