Himalayan Salt Lamp a bunch of hogwash??

It's a great way to burn your house down, with a really cheap lamp stuck inside of a highly corrosive salt block

and the salt is rendered from dehydrated Yak sweat.

this makes me think - especially about the mention of salt mines & therapy - I should start a salt mine & get people to dig the salt for me - of course they pay for the therapy, get the supposed salt therapy, and get a workout too - could probably find lots of people to pay for the privilege.

Great idea and you can switch to cardboard therapy to package it!

but i think all available saltmines here in the US are claimed!

bought a couple of them bunch of years ago when they were on closeout after Xmas. Nice kind of "look", in a Star Trek kind of way as per Para.

So I think there's something to it.

I keep one in my bedroom. I look at this way. It's a sweet looking nightlight that may or may not improve health. Who cares as long as they are reasonably priced and you like it.

I am not really excited about them.

But on the placebo effect: it is a real effect that produces real results. IMO a big portion of everything we think we feel is "the placebo effect" in one form or another.
