But can Himalayan salt bricks for walls be the best decor trend ever — or are they simply a flash in the decorative pan? We’re going to go over their aesthetic value, benefits, something about their practical applications, in order to see.

What Is Himalayan Salt Brick?

Himalayan salt bricks are the blocks or bricks made out of the pink salt crystals extracted from the Khewra salt mine in Pakistan, one of the world’s oldest and largest salt mines. The crystals are then pressed, and cut into bricks and tiles with different sizes and shapes. They are typically used for:

Why They’re Trending in Interior Design

Aesthetics That Stand Out

One of the reasons for their appeal is that these pretty pastries attract attention with their bold colors. The warm pink, red and orange tones naturally brings an organic touch into the interior. Backlit, the salt walls exude a tranquil, warm glow and are ideal for all areas including bedrooms, spas, yoga studios, and meditation rooms.

Wellness-Driven Appeal

With health and wellness-focused design going mainstream, folks are asking for decor that’s not only beautiful but that can also contribute to a sense of health and relaxation. Salt walls are sold as mood-enhancing, and in some cases health-boosting — claims we’ll delve into further down.

Natural and Eco-Friendly

They're naturally sourced and chemical-free, which is more than can be said for synthetic wall panels or chemically-treated wood. The natural source of the fuel appeals to homeowners that value sustainability and green living.

Purported Health Benefits

While the scientific evidence behind some of these benefits remains to be seen, most people add Himalayan salt wall because of the following:

Air Purification

There is always water in salt. Salt is hygroscopic, so it readily absorbs water from the air and is susceptible to clumping. The theory is that, in doing so, the machine will also trap dust, allergens and pollutants, cleaning the surrounding air. Although some swear by this effect, research is unclear about whether salt bricks significantly purify air in normal home conditions.

Negative Ions

When warmed (naturally or by internal light), Himalayan salt bricks are thought to give off negative ions. These are believed to neutralize positive ions that come from electronics and air pollution, which can boost mood and energy. Negative ions are said to provide some health benefits, and some research suggests that they do, but it is not clear how many negative ions, if any, are released by salt bricks in personal use.

Respiratory and Skin Benefits

Salt therapy it's real name is actually halotherapy—has reportedly been employed for treating everything from asthma and allergies to bronchitis. The salt rooms, which include salt block walls and misted salt air, are believed to help clear mucus and decrease inflammation. Yet these pluses are often linked to the active salt therapy and rarely the wall of salt.
