Enhance Your Health with Himalayan Salt Lamps

9. Real vs. Fake

Some shady lamp makers have put a damper on Himalayan salt lamps with their poor imitations. One way to tell the difference: genuine Himalayan salt lamps are quite fragile, and reputable manufacturers offer flexible return policies. Inferior lamps are not easily damaged, and their retailers usually have strict or no return provisions. A true salt lamp will impart a muffled orange or pinkish glow while a fake may light up a room. White Himalayan salt lamps are rare and quite costly, so a cheap white lamp is probably not the real deal. The salt crystals in your lamp should originate from Pakistan, the only source of authentic Himalayan pink salt.
