Pink Himalayan salt lamp
Pink Himalayan salt is highly sought after for its unique properties. Its high concentration of minerals makes it great for balancing the body’s pH levels and purifying the air.
While pink salt lamps can be purchased through various retailers, making your own at home is possible. The following guide will walk you through how to create your very own pink salt crystal lamp for a nominal price.
Materials:
-1/2 cup pink Himalayan salt -1/4 cup distilled water -3 tbsp. vegetable oil -1 large bowl, glass preferred
Directions:
- Mix the water and salt in the bowl until the salt is thoroughly saturated.
- Heat oil in a pot on a stovetop
- Pour a couple of drops of the heated oil into the bowl. The hot oil will cause the salt to fizz and melt until about half its original size. If the oil is too hot, it will evaporate. If this happens, add more water to dilute the salt and wait for it to cool.
- Allow the lamb to sit for twelve hours (or more, depending on the humidity level in the room) for it to fully dry.
- Optionally, you can add a light bulb to the inside of your lamp to create a nice glow.
