10 best Himalayan Salt Lamps for 2023

Himalayan salt has been an important mineral for thousands of years, used by ancient cultures for its health benefits, while Himalayan salt lamps have been around since the 1980s.

Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in them as people look for ways to mitigate the negative effects of technology.

The best Himalayan salt lamps add beauty to the home, and the negative ions they emit into the atmosphere can enhance our wellbeing in different ways.

Not all Himalayan salt lamps are the same.

In fact, if you don’t buy the best Himalayan salt lamps, located from a reputable source you could be spending money on a substandard lamp. 

Not only will a low-quality model be useless when it comes to supplying the potential health benefits we treasure them for, they could also be dangerous. At the very least, they could last only a few weeks or months, and at the worst, they could be a potential fire hazard.

For example, in 2017 a number of Himalayan salt lamps were recalled because it was found their dimmer switches were prone to overheating.

So if you wish to enjoy the beauty and health benefits of one of these lamps, be mindful that the best Himalayan salt lamp is one that has been certified to confirm the salt has been sourced and crafted in an ethical way.

All the best Himalayan salt lamps have been mined from Khewra at the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, one of the largest mines in the Punjab.

Which brand is the best Himalayan salt lamp?

The best Himalayan salt lamp will be identified with a stamp or label as authentic by the person who sells it to you.

But one of the ways you can identify the authentic material is simply by looking at and handling it. A genuine Himalayan salt lamp will have a soft, muted glow. If it appears shiny, for example, then it won’t be the real deal.

It will also be more fragile because it is made from salt, so if you drop your Himalayan salt lamp over the course of its life and it gets chipped, it will very likely be authentic.

Your lamp should also sweat when it is in a moist environment, and if you wipe this residue away you’ll see particles of pink mineral attached to the cloth.
