A salt lamp is a decorative lamp made from a large piece of Himalayan salt, typically mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan. These lamps are crafted by hollowing out the center of a large salt crystal and placing a light bulb or candle inside. When illuminated, the salt lamp emits a warm, soft glow that creates a soothing ambiance.

Proponents of salt lamps claim that they have various health benefits, such as improving air quality by releasing negative ions, reducing electromagnetic radiation, and promoting relaxation. However, scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited.

Salt lamps come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from small bedside lamps to larger, more elaborate designs. They are often used as decorative pieces in homes, spas, and meditation spaces, adding a touch of natural beauty to the environment.
