How Do These Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?

Himalayan salt is hygroscopic, which means it attracts water molecules to itself that may contain particles that are harmful to your health. When the salt retains these vapors, the air around you becomes cleaner and fresher, which can improve your breathing. These microscopic compounds remain on the salt instead of circulating through your environment. That’s where the “lamp” comes in. The heat from the light bulb causes the water to dry and traps the pollutants onto the salt, which allows it to continue working to clean your air. The water vapors are re-released into the air as clean molecules free of pollutants. Depending on your environment, the volume of pollutants in the air, and your breathing abilities, Himalayan salt lamps come in different shapes and sizes to ensure every need is met.
