What do Salt lamps do?

Himalayan Salt Lamps

Not only are these lamps a beautiful addition to any home or office, but they are also negative ionisers.

What does this mean?
Put simply, salt is hydroscopic and evaporation of water through salt emits negative ions. However, the small 15-40 watt, bulb produces heat, which evaporates the moisture attracted to the rock. It is during this evaporation process that the electron is ejected from one molecule and attaches itself to another producing a negatively charged ion.
