Crystal Salt Lamp Salt Sand

Crystal Salt LampThe air purification effect is achieved by releasing vitamins in the air—negative ions: the heated salt lamp absorbs water molecules from the surrounding air onto its surface. When salt mixes with water molecules, sodium, as a positive ion, and chlorine, as a negative ion, return to a neutral state, while the ionized water is emitted back into the environment. This ion generation process is unique to crystal salt lamps because the electrically neutral atomic structure of crystal salt determines its ability to undergo this ion conversion under thermal conditions.

Crystal salt, scientifically known as rock salt, is a type of sodium salt that formed at the end of the Permian period, 40 million years earlier than the dinosaurs. 280 million years ago, intense crustal movements transformed the ancient ocean into the world-renowned Himalayas, while the salt in the seawater was buried deep underground at a depth of about 600 meters. After hundreds of millions of years of compression and high temperatures, the minerals in the earth combined with sea salt to form rock salt deposits. It is said that rock salt contains 84 minerals essential for the human body and is particularly rich in ionic mineral compounds.
