Himalayan Salt Lamps

Salt lamps may look nice, but they can cost a pretty penny, retailing for anywhere from $15 to $70 on Amazon. The lamps are advertised to, as one brand words it, "emit negative ions that fight against positively charged particles" and "help[s] eliminate allergens, smoke, dander, pollen and other air pollutants." Physician and health and wellness expert Dr. Nesochi Okeke-Igbokwe, has said that the health claims for these lamps haven't been backed up by science. And you shouldn't back these products up with your cash either. Today also reported that there haven't been any large studies to confirm the ion claim.
