YO303 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) My girlfriend made me buy one, because you know she is into crystals and shit like that. I was extremely skeptical about these salt lamps (suppose to purify the air), i thought this was just another scam by the new age mercenaries, but i have to say .. they work. After just one night with it i felt the air in my room was easier to breath in (best way i can describe it). Does anyone own one of these lamps? what's your experience with them? is there any science behind the lamps? i'm amazed. Here is what it looks like in my dark room: Edited June 17, 2012 by YO303 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/74270-himalayan-salt-lamps/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest underscore Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 i think the science behind it is the placebo effect Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/74270-himalayan-salt-lamps/#findComment-1834821 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hippie friend drug me to a new age store a while back and told me to wear this medallion that made her feel more 'grounded' (whatever that means), and it did absolutely fuckall other than make me look like a twat. She was incredulous when I told her it did nothing, and when the shopkeeper guy desperately tried explaining the 'science' of it, I had to stop him and leave the shop to laugh hysterically... she hasn't spoken to me since.

gmanyo Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yeah, I think it's bogus, but on the plus side they do look nice. See this thread.

YO303 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I think the placebo effect is valid. If i can trick my brain into thinking these lamps clean the air and relieve stress then its fine by me.

joseph Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Everyone is so quick to say "placebo" for anything that looks remotely new-agey. Most of them probably are but saying that right off the bat doesnt seem very thoughtful to me. It's conceivable that these lamps are some kind of dehumidifier Edited June 17, 2012 by Joseph Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide joseph's signature Hide all signatures Autechre Rule - Queen are Shite Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/74270-himalayan-salt-lamps/#findComment-1835066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's conceivable that these lamps are some kind of dehumidifier well, I said placebo after having read into them before (I could still be wrong, I even said I think the placebo effect explains it.) upon further examination of his post I do believe the reason YO303 feels it works is his subconsious knows him telling his girlfriend he is "amazed" is way better than grouping the salt lamp with "crystals and shit like that" Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/74270-himalayan-salt-lamps/#findComment-1835069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
