Please note: This information is rather technical in nature and excerpted from the findings of Bio-physicist Peter Ferreria but in essence refers to the effect of light and the theraputic nature of Salt Lamps. See the table below for a quick reference chart regarding colours and health benefits.
"When we talk about light we mean, for the most part, the oscillation energies, or electromagnetic wavelengths, which lie in a nanometer range visible to our human eye.
From the colour therapy it is well-known that the human organism needs the light waves of the rainbow spectrum (300-700 nanometers) for the health and preservation of the body. Our body's cells are supplied by light with new energy in the form of electromagnetic wavelengths. Thus the atomic structure of each individual cell vibrates in its own given order and can radiate bio photons as the cell's own electromagnetic energy field.
The specific oscillation values of salt crystal lamps depend upon crystalline colour structure in the so-called warm clay/tone range of 600-700 nanometers. For decades, the field of medicine, has been using irradiation with monochromatic light, since these colour vibration areas exert direct influence on our cell producing functions. To what extent a salt crystal lamp can be employed for natural irradiation therapy, is yet to be seen without further research. However, salt crystal lamps have been used therapeutically for years".
"Salt lamps emit therapeutic, electromagnetic wavelengths of colours known to positively impact our body and mind"

The Influence of Colours on our Body and Mind
Orange: Facilitates a feeling of security and is helpful to our nervous system and our mind and activates the kidneys and bladder.
Yellow: Encourages intellectual comprehension and stimulates the pancreas, liver and gallbladder.
Red: Strengthens vitality and activates the heart and circulation.
Pink: Supports the sense of partnership and love and opens our emotional body.
Brown: Helps to find ones own balance and supports earthiness.
White: Has a cleansing and detoxifying effect and represents the healing aspect.
