Himalayan salt lamps are made with Himalayan pink salt which is mined from the Himalayan foothills in the Punjab region of Pakistan. The salt which is mined in large slabs is carved into lamps and fitted with a light source. There are several health benefits to using a Himalayan salt lamp, which is the combined effect of the salt’s properties and the heat of the light source. Some of the benefits include improving the body’s respiratory function, reducing asthma attacks, reducing the stress levels and improving the overall mood.
