3. Salt Lamps
Himalayan Crystal Salt Rock formed millions of years ago in the foothill of Himalaya. Everyone is now starting to learn that Himalayan salt is good in our diets. But they are great for the atmosphere as well as our diets.
Salt Lamps cleanse and deodorises the air. It is said that it reduces allergy and asthmas symptoms. Himalayan salt lamps work to neutralize electromagnetic radiation. Keep one next to the computer, television, and any other electrical devices which you use frequently to reduce the potential danger to you and your family.
Another side effect which results from over-exposure to positive ions in the air is that it robs you of quality sleep. This happens because those positively-charged particles can actually reduce blood and oxygen supply to the brain resulting in irregular sleep patterns. Himalayan pink salt lamps are natural negative ion generators, thus they can help to reverse this problem. Keep one or two around your bedroom to improve the air quality so you can get a better night’s sleep.
Remember, even if you’re like me and you can’t sleep unless the room is totally dark, you can always turn the lamp off at bedtime. Just leave it on for the rest of the day so it can do its work while you’re awake. People in humid climates should be aware that Salt lamps tend to weep when the salt becomes cool. You’ll definitely want to protect surfaces by placing a saucer underneath and be sure to follow the instructions for use and care which should be included with your lamp!

Pagans use smudge sticks regular, when the new moon is out and at the beginning of each season.
