Salt lamps are not used in traditional hoodoo. As you stated, they are used in feng shui, but I don't think that they "suck out any good energy in the home." Salt, however, has great importance. Does anyone here use these in their homes?

I don't know about magical uses, but when I put them around my home I noticed a drastic reduction in migraines. I swear by them for that!

Funny I was at a local store on a lunch break a few months ago and bought a salt lamp on a whim. It is in my office at work and I turn it on every day I am there. Lots of positive responses from others and it's super soothing to look at.

great idea on using it for protecting your home, clever use...I wonder if it can be fed and or anointed with oils like protection?

How do Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?
Water vapour is always circulating in the air of any room of your house. This water vapour carries with it allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke particles, and even bacteria and viruses.

Salt is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts water molecules from the surrounding air. A large block of rock salt, like a Himalayan salt lamp, is especially attractive to water vapour and its pollutants.

Once attracted to the salt lamp, these microscopic compounds remain on the salt and not floating in the air where you can breathe them in.

As Himalayan salt lamps slowly become saturated with water vapour they attract from the air around them, the heat, from the lamp inside or beneath, dries them, thus continuing the hygroscopic effect for as long as the light is on.

This heat also re-releases water vapour back into the air. Importantly, any airborne contaminants attracted to the salt lamp remain trapped there and will not become airborne again.

Occasionally, perhaps every few weeks, it’s good to turn off your salt lamp for an hour, let it cool and then gently rub it with a damp cloth to clean away trapped dust and particles. The rest of the time just leave it on and let it work to clean their air in your room.

Yes, salt lamps are great. I have used one for over a year now. "Salt does what you tell it to do" is an old saying, and I bought two of these because salt is said to be protective.They do have mystical qualities but they also have helped me to sleep by refreshing the air. They are great deodorizers too, if you have a pet.
