This is a beautiful, medium sized, hand carved natural salt lamp that was mined in the Himalayas. The lamp sits on a mahogany wood base and includes a low wattage bulb and cord inside the lamp. It not only looks nice in a room but promotes healthier living by cleansing the air that you breathe, removing pollens, clears smoke and other particles and generally creates a more peaceful environment. When lit, the salt lamp is designed to generate negative ions and to naturally purify the air. The warmth of the low wattage bulb helps release the salt's natural air cleansing properties. These lamps are great in the bedroom as a low light, in an office, waiting or healing room for your clients or any room of your home you would like cleaner air and negative ions emitted.
