Salt Cave Bricks

Himalayan pink salt has a world of benefits. These benefits have made the use of the salt in cooking very popular. Quite recently, Himalayan pink salt lamps started taking the world by storm, and the good effects were clearly seen in a number of areas. But the uses of Himalayan pink salt did not stop there.

The more Himalayan pink salt around, the greater the benefits; so, salt caves were opened. Following the popularity of salt caves, people decided to build their own salt walls at home. With a one-time investment, the benefits of a salt cave could be enjoyed every day.

Some of the benefits of salt cave bricks include purified air, less electromagnetic radiation, lower incidents of asthma attacks and better sleep.

 

What are salt cave bricks?

Salt cave bricks are bricks made out of Himalayan pink salt. The bricks can be used to build your very own salt wall at home and enjoy all the benefits of a Himalayan salt lamp but amplified.

Large blocks of Himalayan pink salt are mined from beneath the Himalayan foothills in the Punjab region of Pakistan. These blocks are then hand cut into the shape of bricks to make salt cave bricks.

The salt cave bricks can be used in a number of different ways. One or all the walls of a room can be covered with the salt cave bricks, a doorway or arch can be lined with them, and they can also be used as a kitchen backsplash. Single salt cave bricks can also be used in place of a Himalayan salt lamp.

 

The health benefits of salt cave bricks

Salt cave bricks have a number of health benefits because of the salt’s properties.

• Purifies the air: The Himalayan pink salt absorbs water vapour from the air and along with it impurities like dust, pollen, smoke, odours, mildew, spores and so on. These impurities get trapped in the salt and leave the air pure.
• Reduces asthma and allergies: Because the salt cave bricks purify the air, they also reduce the risk of asthma and allergies by removing the triggers from the air.
• Neutralises positive ions: When the salt cave bricks are heated by a light source like a bulb or candle, the salt sends out negatively charged ions. These ions help to neutralise positively charged ions that arise from electromagnetic radiation. EMR is emitted from smartphones, tablets, televisions, laptops and so on.
• Improves sleep: EMR has been found to affect sleep waves. By neutralising positive ions from EMR, salt cave bricks help to improve the quality of sleep.
• Lowers stress: Negative ions sent out by salt cave bricks have also been found to reduce stress.
• Clears sinuses: Breathing in the salty air clears out blocked sinuses and improves respiration.

 

 

How to use salt cave bricks

Salt cave bricks have the distinctive pinkish-orange colour of Himalayan pink salt. These bricks have a beautiful hue and make for an interesting wall finish. The salt cave bricks can be fixed onto existing wall space or used to build a wall from scratch.

When lights are added above or behind a salt cave brick wall, the salt cave bricks act like a pink salt lamp having all the same benefits. Single salt cave bricks can be placed alongside a candle or bulb to act like a pink salt lamp.
