“Create a unique stress-free room”.

“Your sleeping problems will soon disappear”.

“Purifies the air”.

“Improve your immune system”.

“Oxygenate the brain”.

These are typical claims of scam offers selling salt lamps and especially Himalayan salt lamps.

These do exist and are lumps of Himalayan pink salt with a light bulb in the centre.

They are decorative pieces and perfectly safe to use.

But the scammers keep sending out deluges of emails claiming endless health claims for them which cannot be verified.

If you want such a lamp because it looks nice then find a good supplier – do not reply to spam emails.

If you want the claimed health benefits – you would do better to look elsewhere than a lump of salt with a bulb in it.
