The type of air you breathe has a big influence on your health. Whether it be indoors or outdoors, the air quality should be paid close attention to. How is your breathing when indoors? How is it when outdoors? So, I bet you're wondering how you would even detect when the air quality in your home is less than mediocre. A few symptoms include a shortness of breath, sinus congestion, coughing and sneezing. I did a little research on some home decor accessories that would naturally assist in purifying the air in your home, and came across four pretty simple, yet unique items.
Himalayan Salt Lamps. Himalayan salt lamps are made from beautiful pieces of pure, food grade Himalayan salt which usually comes from a region in Pakistan called Punjab. Besides being an alluring home decor piece, these lamps of been known to cleanse the air by attracting pollutants and bacteria.
Appliances in your home such as televisions, computers and cell phone release negative ions in the air witch then causes a torrent of electromagnetic radiation or EM. This interference causes ailments like stress, troubles with sleep, and a weakened immune system. Himalayan salt lamps release negative ions into the air, countering the toxic positive ions that were released from your home technology.

House Plants. Bringing in a few indoor house plants is one of the best ways to eliminate the toxins in your home. But how exactly do plants cleanse the air? Through a process called Photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, plants transform carbon dioxide into fresh, clean air. That's just nature's way of taking care of you and itself.
Some plants to consider adding to your home:
- Peace Lily
- Spider Plant
- Bamboo Palm
- Boston Fern
- Snake Plant
Beeswax Candles. Candles have quickly become a home staple, which isn't really hard to believe because their scents alone can make one fall deeply in love with them. Beeswax candles, similar to Himalayan salt lamps, release negative ions into the air which in turn, counter acts the effects of the bacteria and pollutants. For cool pyramid shaped beeswax candles.
Essential Oil Diffusers. If you have a knack for aromatherapy, you've probably heard of essential oil diffusers before. If you aren't an aromatherapy connoisseur, let me inform you on the greatness of such a fine piece of technology. Essential oil diffusers are used to warm and release the aroma of essential oils into the air. Different oils or oil blends may be used to create a clean, peaceful atmosphere. Burning herbs and tree barks can also help with air quality issues (Sage and Palo Santo smudging kit).
