Himalayan Rock Salt Lamps
Where does Himalayan Rock Salt come from?
Himalayan rock salt has its history from pre historic time when it was discovered for the
first time in the era of Alexander the Great in 325 B.C. The licking of protruded salt by
the horses of Alexander the Great, who fought battle with Raja Poras on the bank of river
Jhelum led to the discovery of Himalayan rock salt assets at Khewra.
The Khewra salt mine is the largest salt mine in the world. Salt has been mined at Khewra since 320 BC; in an underground area of about 110 sq. km. The Khewra salt mine have an estimated total of 220 million tons of rock salt deposits. The current production from the mine is 325,000 tons salt per annum. This salt range is around 300 km long and 10 to 30 km wide with an average height of 2250 feet. Its highest altitude at Sakessar Mountain is around 5000 feet. At present, there are 17 working levels at the Khewra salt mine with the cumulative length of all tunnels being more than 40 km. Some of the other salt mines in Pakistan are Kallabagh, Warccha and Jatta/B-khel.
The salt occurs in the form of an irregular dome like structure. There are several thick salt seams with a cumulative thickness of about 150 meters. At places the rock salt is 99% pure. Salt is transparent, white, pink, reddish to beef-color red. There are beautiful alternate bands of red and white color salt.
It is said that Himalayan rock salt was formed over 250 million years ago, when the energy of the sun dried up the original, primal ocean; a cycle which repeated itself for millions of years in the region therefore creating this unique type of rock salt. Himalayan rock salt is completely pristine and natural, identical in composition to that of the ancient sea. It is also said to contain the same 84 elements that are found within the human body.
Why people buy salt lamps
In today’s world it is hard to imagine living without electric devices that make our lives easier for us at work in the office and at home.
Computers, fluorescent lighting, air conditioning, TV’s, microwaves, the list is endless. The biggest problem with these amazing inventions is the large amount of ‘Positive Ions’ or ‘Electric Smog’ they release. Most people are not aware of the harmful affect they have on our physical and emotional health.
Rock salt lamps or rock salt crystal is commonly known for its ability to release negative ions that change the energy within a room by ‘ionizing’ or ‘purifying’ the air. This is done by warming the lamp with a candle or an electric light bulb from within the lamp.
The negative ions are known to kill bacteria, mold spores, irritants and respiratory allergens by removing moisture from indoor air therefore they cannot remain airborne; they fall to the floor and die... especially in an ionized environment. The aim of Himalayan rock salt lamps is to recreate what happens naturally outdoors.
Most people feel great after being at the beach, or in a rainforest, or near a waterfall or just before or after a thunder storm, this is because there is a larger amount of healthy negative ions in the air in these areas, this is what makes us feel so fantastic. It's the large amount of negative ions produced in these areas that gives the air its invigorating freshness. This is the aim of using Himalayan rock salt lamps or tea light holders within the home or office.
The Himalayan Rock Salt candle holders and lamps release these healthy negative ions to cleanse and improve the quality and freshness of the air you breathe while the beautiful glow creates a serene atmosphere and tranquil environment, therefore enhancing that feeling of well-being.
They have been used for the treatment of ailments such as stress, insomnia, fatigue, mental imbalances and have been recommended for a long time to support treatment of allergies, diseases of respiratory and blood system and rheumatism. They have also been used in colour therapy because of the variation in colour.
The colors, weights and shapes all vary, because all salt candles and lamps are hand mined and shaped therefore becoming one of a kind.
Use Himalayan rock salt lamps:
¨In the office
¨In the bedroom
¨Near your computer
¨Where you meditate
¨In massage rooms
¨In smoky places
¨Where you want to improve the air quality
Care of Himalayan Rock Salt Lamps
Himalayan rock salt is hygroscopic meaning it has the ability to draw water from the surrounding atmosphere.
In moist or humid conditions, the surface of the rock salt may become slightly wet to the touch or it may sweat, leaving salt crystals on the surface. If crystallization occurs, it can be cleaned easily by wiping the surface with a damp cloth.
When placing lamp or tea light holder on a surface which may be damaged, e.g. antique furniture, additional care should be taken to secure that surface.
Turning on the lamp or lighting a tea light for a couple of hours will dry the rock salt quickly. By doing this it will maintain a constant negative ionizing process and also repel excess moisture build up around the rock salt lamp or tea light holder.
When not in use for long periods of time place it in a plastic bag and seal tightly.
Keep safely out of reach of children and animals so it does not fall on them causing injury.
DO NOT leave the lamp on unattended.
DO NOT place lamp near water.
DO NOT turn the lamp off/on with wet hands.
KEEP LAMP IN WARM, DRY PLACES WHENEVER POSSIBLE!
