~One of a kind finds~

"The Salt Lamp"

This one of a kind find was a gift from my Yoga Guru Grandmother Lyne and I have absolutely fallen in love with the salt lamp. 

A salt lamp is a chunk of mined salt that has been hollowed out to allow room for a light bulb or tiny candle. The light has a soft glow through the middle of the salt crystal. Salt crystals for salt lamps are mined in Russia and central Europe as well as in the Himalayas. 

Facts:

• The heating of the salt causes the crystal to release negative ions. Negative ions have long been considered healthy; the sea air, mountain air and the air around swiftly running water is high in negative ions. Indoor air, recirculated air, and air around electronic equipment is very low in negative ions.
• This lamp is a natural air purifier great for asthma and allergies
• Improve air quality by reducing air pollution, airborne dust particles, and airborne bacteria and viruses
• Improve concentration
• Relieve headaches, migraines, feelings of fatigue and insomnia

These lamps are beautiful in a organic rustic kind of way. The lamp can add the perfect touch to a bathroom. Even set the salt lamp in an office corner in hopes it can take away some of the stress from emails 24-7!

I have my Salt Lamp in my bedroom. I will turn all of the lights out and just sit with the lamps glow before I fall asleep. Very peaceful . 

P.S. ~ I licked the lamp..... Yes, it is real salt    ;  )
