Salt lamps almost burst into the public consciousness and have since become very popular – and not just among people with asthma. But what exactly is a lead lamp? It actually releases cleansing ions into the air, thus significantly alleviating asthmatic symptoms.
As well as creating a relaxing and cosy atmosphere in the home, they can also be very effective in treating depression and insomnia. And recent research has shown that they can also be useful in relieving asthma symptoms.
It is perhaps no coincidence that people who suffer from lung or respiratory diseases, or even chronic bronchitis, often visit salt caves to relieve their symptoms and possibly cure themselves. The salt particles released into the air have a beneficial effect on the respiratory tract.
Salt caves and Himalayan salt lamps therefore emit electrically charged particles, negative ions, when exposed to heat or light. These reduce the toxic substances and toxins in the air, making it much cleaner and free of irritants that can exacerbate the discomfort of people with asthma, for example.
In addition to these findings, research also shows that negative ions can be effective against potentially harmful micro-organisms, viruses, fungi and bacteria.
Of course, a Himalayan salt lamp is not a substitute for therapy, but the relaxation and stress relief it provides can play a huge role in asthma management.
The lead lamp has a prominent role in purifying the air in the home. This is particularly beneficial for those who are allergic to dust or other environmental allergens.
Another study has shown that the use of a lead lamp can alleviate the symptoms not only of asthma but also of COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It also improves the metabolism of tryptophan and serotonin, which have antidepressant effects.
How do we use a salt lamp? You can use it as home decoration, even as a mood enhancer, as it has a truly outstanding calming effect, but it can also be an excellent night light.
