Two people in my family each have one of these stupid things. They have to be left switch on 24/7 so they can continue to send out their healing essences. Utter BS!

One family member got me a Himalayan Salt inhaler...after nearly choking myself to death that POS went straight into landfill.

Bit of a tangent, but how much landfill is unwanted gifts in general. There has to be a better solution.

I think so many things need to change with this world!
Locally the 'only' things that go to landfill are bedding and sofas. The council burn all household waste and recycle a list of things (but no idea how compliant people are in putting those things in the green bin). All stuff you take to the local tip is disposed off in different ways than landfill.
My children's infants school was build on a landfill site and the small shopping centre (we have a few shopping centres here) was also build on a landfill site. The council has to push a pole down to the wasting mulch every so may years and check the gasses.
Just depressing: what we're doing to eachother and the planet.

567 reviews on amazon; average rating 4.7. Frequent comment is how 'lovely' the lamps are.

But you think it's BS......hmm?

I have two; one at my bedside and one at my office. The filter of the salt lamp is preferable to the harsh, overhead lighting on the ceilings of both my bedroom and office, especially nice for gradually awakening and mitigating the atmosphere of a particularly stressful job...

As for any further esoteric benefits, I cannot say.

Smash them up with a hammer and stick the pieces up your bum to become one with the universe.

Or two with the universe if you stick them up to far.

If 567 people are stupid enough to buy one then it’s hardly surprising that they like it.

Perhaps you have one... hmm.
