Our home is our cocoon, inside of which the work problems vanish behind the door and where we create a soothing atmosphere that will allow us to relax. One element that will help to create that atmosphere is the salt lamp, it glows pleasantly and diffuses a warm light in any room we place it.
I have a few salt lamps scattered in my home and each one contributes to making each room clean, healthy and nicely decorated.
There are a few things we need to keep in consideration about the salt lamps:
how they function and the benefits that will give us.
Some salt lamps have a great theatrical look due to the change of colours; they might range from yellow to pink, red, blue and even purple. Those colourful types have an LED bulb inside that makes all the phantasmagoric colours but doesn’t do anything for us other than having a deceptive appearance as a dream created by our imagination.
The typical bulb we must use is the classic incandescent small Christmas light that once inserted in the salt vessel will diffuse the amber colour we love so much and will give chromotherapeutic benefits as well.
The most important benefits we can draw from salt lamps come from the ions the salt emits. Salt is a crystal, the negative ions are emitted only if an incandescent bulb warms up the salt. The negative ions are then dispersed in the room to provide well-being and harmony, reduce anxieties, alleviate stress, clean the heavy air, fight bacteria and viruses.
One way to know if the room holds too much humidity is to place a salt lamp in a room and watch the lamp sweat. If it does, you have the proof that the room is humid. In this case, it is time to open all windows and refresh the air. The salt lamp is not a dehumidifier, it will only tell us if the air we breathe is humid. Placing the lamp turned off for a couple of hours outdoors is the way to prevent the lamp from sweating and outdoors it will purify itself from what it has absorbed in the house including negative energy.
I am learning about holistic health and natural remedies from an Italian alchemist who has a page on Facebook called “La Terra Delle Streghe”. I find his teaching stimulating and I am “enchanted” with a new world of information that is opening to me. This is an extract from one of his videos spoken in Italian. Ciao,
Valentina
