Why I Love My Salt Lamp

One of my favorite Christmas gifts this year was my salt lamp. It's a gift that will literally keep on giving all year long! Yeah, I know that sounds corny but it's so true.

Here's why I love my salt lamp:
  • Perfect amount of light for any room at night (like a nightlight but better).
  • The light is a very relaxing warm glowing color. It's very soothing at the end of a stress filled day.
  • Contributes negative ions (small amounts) that can help to balance out the positive ions generated by electronics.
  • Helps to clean the dust and allergens from the air when the salt crystals absorb the microscopic water molecules carrying them. Only pure water evaporates back into the air leaving the particulate matter behind. It's sort of like the distillation process.
​There may not be a lot of scientifically backed evidence that salt lamps actually clean the air or provide enough negative ions to make a difference, but I still think they are worth it!

Why? Because there is scientific proof that negative ions are beneficial to us. We also know for a fact that salt absorbs moisture, so if the lamp does even a little of these beneficial things, why not have one? Especially because the smaller the home and/or room the lamp is in, the greater it's potential beneficial effect! Common sense. So simple.

​Oh yeah, and
 the simple warm glow of the lamp makes me feel better!
Get a salt lamp today and see if it makes you feel better!
If you already have one,
​I would love to hear what your thoughts are :-)
Sincerely,

    Hi there! I'm Kathie, the author behind Creating A Simpler Life blog. I'm excited to share our longterm projects (and planning) toward building our future retirement homestead in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. In the meantime I will be sharing all the other little things we do that are part of creating our simpler life!
