Electrosmog, have you heard of it? These are unhealthy positive ions caused by the electrical devices in your home. In this blog, I will explain what it is and how to combat it with a Himalayan salt lamp.
What is electrosmog?
To understand exactly what electrosmog is and why you want to combat it, I'll first tell you more about ions:
Ions
You can't see ions, but they are always and everywhere present in the air. There are two types of ions: positive and negative ions. Ideally, you want many negative ions in the air around you. These are – despite what the name might suggest – the healthy ions.
Near waterfalls, by the sea, and in forests, there are an enormous number of these healthy negative ions. This partly explains the pleasant feeling many people experience in these places.
Devices, on the other hand, generate electromagnetic radiation in the form of unhealthy positive ions. Because homes and workplaces are full of electrical devices, we are surrounded by large amounts of unhealthy, positive ions for a significant part of the day.
And that is what you call electrosmog!
Effect on your health
Although you cannot see electrosmog, it certainly affects your health. Constant exposure to it can cause you to feel tired, stressed, and have a weakened immune system.
The balance between the number of positive and negative ions is then disturbed.
Solution
Fortunately, a Himalayan salt lamp can help you with this! A salt lamp can restore the balance between the number of positive and negative ions in a room. Himalayan salt naturally emits healthy negative ions, thereby neutralizing the unhealthy positive ions present in the air.
Besides all the other health benefits a salt lamp offers, combating electrosmog is a significant advantage you gain.
Extra tips:
- Turn on as few electrical devices as possible, and if you do use them, unplug them after use. This will also save you energy costs!
- The larger the Himalayan salt lamp, the more effective it is. Especially place one on your desk and in your living room, where you spend a lot of time, for maximum effect.
