Himalayan Salt Lamps Montreal

Mined from deep underneath the Himalayan Mountains in Pakistan, this mineral can be found at depths of up to 1500 meters. The Himalayan salt veins were formed thousands of years ago when the sun dried the sea floor after the ocean retreated creating gorgeous rocks of salt varying in different colors such as pink, white, yellow, orange and red. Salt has been used by humans since the beginning of time to preserve food, as medicine or as currency. Himalayan pink salt offers multiple benefits. The miners of Himalayan pink salt have often rated themselves as very happy people. Many experts believe that there might be a correlation between the air in the salt mines and the levels of happiness of the people who breathe this air.

Today, the use of Himalayan salt is rapidly regaining its previous popularity. More and more people are finding out about the benefits of having a salt lamp as decoration in their rooms and are acquiring them for their homes. Salt lamps not only provide multiple benefits, but they also make beautiful art decorations that will embellish and bring a soothing light to any corner of the house.

Remember the experience of taking a breath when you were by a waterfall? Or when you were standing on a mountain top? Or while taking a walk in the forest? Or when you were resting by the sea? Or just before the rain came?  Remember how easy it was to breath and how fresh it felt? Well, it was most probably due to the negative ions in the air!  Forces of nature like storms, waterfalls, wind, plants and ocean waves can produce negative ions. The rush of negative ions created by nature helps to balance and neutralize the positive ions in the air which result in a much cleaner and lighter air to breathe.

In other words, the negative salt ions released by the heating of the salt lamps can purify the air and bring about positive benefits. Some of these benefits are boosted blood flow, improved sleep, increased levels of serotonin in brain, calms allergy or asthma symptoms, elimination of moisture and humidity from the air, neutralization of “electro-smog” and reduction of allergens and irritants in the air. As the light bulb heats up the lamp, it attracts to it all the impurities of the air and the humidity resulting in a cleaner air.

While providing overall well being benefits for people and its surroundings, Himalayan salt lamps also make gorgeous decorations for any home or business. Their gorgeous tones of yellow, orange, pink, red and even white make a stunning art piece that will surely catch the attention of visitors and brighten up the room. Salt lamps are also ideal gifts for loved ones such as kids, friends or family.
