What in earth will they think of next ffs!!!! What is this about Himalayan salt - it really sounds like an exotic fad to me!!!!!
I had a look at the link and the first thing it says is:
"Science proves salt lamps help people with anxiety. Here's how"
As soon as I see the word "proves" I think ah - we have some trials. No, just some sort of pseudo-scientific explanation
. For there to be proof there would need to be trials with some people having one of these (admittedly very pretty) lamps with the rock salt, and others having identical looking lamps with some other rock that wasn't pink stuff (ie the placebo) and compare the (self-assessed) anxiety symptoms over a period of time. If this has not been done then it is just a fancy idea. Harmless but just a fancy idea....
However it is very pretty I admit - though I doubt it is anything more
- but - anxiety is one condition where the placebo effect can be very benefifical so if it's a question of buying one of these or a lifetime of anti-depressants then GO FOR IT
