Introduction to Himalayan salt

Himalayan salt is mostly sourced from khewra salt mines close to the Himalayas in Punjab, Pakistan. Himalayan salt has a pretty pinkish tint due to its mineral content. Himalayan pink salt contains almost 84 natural minerals & trace elements that are essential to many functions of the human body. This is the reason Himalayan salt is known as white gold in the Himalayas.

Himalayan Salt Lamp Diffuser

Salt and oil have different polarities thus two are immiscible. When we add a few drops of aromatic essential oil on the Himalayan salt lamp, it breaks the oil into small droplets and diffuses them into the surrounding environment. In this way, the Himalayan salt lamp acts as a diffuser.

Facts about Himalayan Salt Lamp as a Diffuser

Advocates believe that the Himalayan salt lamp diffuser works in the following ways:

• When the Himalayan salt lamp warms up, it attracts the water molecules in the surrounding environment and ionizes them. As a result of this ionization, it releases negative ions in the surroundings.
• These negative ions attract and neutralize toxins, allergens & pollutants in the surrounding environment.
• Odorless, tasteless, and invisible negative ions also called “Nutrient of the air” have a calming and soothing effect on our nerves. When negative ions reach our bloodstream they increase the level of serotonin hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings, and happiness.
• You may feel sleepy when you are around an air-conditioner, but feel immediately refreshed and invigorated when you step outside or roll down the car window. This is because air conditioning depletes the atmosphere of negative ions, but an ion generator re-releases those ions.
