The Amazing Powers of Pink Himalayan Salt

*Originally published on my former blog on Blogger on January 17, 2021*

My sister, Tori bought a pink Himalayan salt lamp for me last spring. I can’t tell you how much it has calmed me down, made me feel happier, made me sleep better, increased my energy and just made me feel better overall. Thanks again if you’re reading this, Tori!

Pink Himalayan salt lamps are said to release negative ions in the air. Electronic devices like smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, computers and TVs release EMFs or “dirty electric,” which are positive ions. The negative ions from the salt light cancel out the positive ions from your devices. Positive ions and “dirty electric” can weaken your immune system and can make depression worse, and possibly even cause it.

Apparently they are also said to help purify the air of dirt and toxins and make it cleaner. I do think this is true. My bedroom seems to smell cleaner after I turn on my salt lamp, even if I’d just dusted and vacuumed my room.

These salt lamps are said to help you sleep better. I’ve kept mine next to my bed on my night table the entire time I’ve had it. I do sleep better overall since I starting using my lamp. Looking at the lamp while I fall asleep makes me feel very warm, content, relaxed and safe. I love that feeling so much. Who doesn’t? Here are 12 reasons to keep a Himalayan salt lamp in every room of your house.

I’ve felt significantly and noticeably happier and calmer since I started using mine. I want to get a pink Himalayan salt light for nearly every room in the house eventually (except the bathroom), starting with the living room next! Did you know that there are Himalayan salt string lights? I want a string or two!

Pink Himalayan salt also helps female reproductive system problems. It’s a famous natural ancient Chinese remedy for female-specific issues, including but not limited to endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome. I use it all the time.

It works! It doesn’t make my awful menstrual back pain go away completely, but it does help alleviate the pain. This salt does make me have much less intense uterine cramping during my period, if I get any cramps at all. It makes me feel less tired. It also makes my periods a bit shorter. It doesn’t help with everything and I’m not saying it’s a cure-all. But it definitely makes my periods easier to deal with. I have (edible) Pink Himalayan table salt that I put on my lunch or dinner every day. I also use Dr. Teal’s Pink Himalayan Mineral Soak in the bath every month, before my period starts.

I can’t recommend Himalayan salt enough! Even if you aren’t a woman, or you are a woman and don’t have any female reproductive system problems. This salt makes you feel amazing. I think everyone could use it in their life.

I couldn’t add any of the Himalayan salt photos that I wanted to put in this post. My photos are not loading from Google Photos or from my iPad’s photo library here on Blogger. Everyone loves photos. But I hope you try at least one Himalayan salt item and are happier and healthier!
