You have surely seen them in the shops or at a friend’s house. In recent years, Himalayan salt lamps have gained enormous popularity thanks to their therapeutic properties and their aesthetic appearance, which gives an ethnic and original touch: but what are they really for?

Salt lamps are pure blocks of pink Himalayan salt, inside which a light bulb is placed. They are found in solid blocks or in the form of small crystals, and act as an air ionizer.

These stones emit negative ions that give balance to the environment, adhering to the positive ions that are emitted by electronic devices. In a nutshell, they are capable of absorbing excess electromagnetic waves.
