I have yet to see any convincing evidence that these lamps are anything but a colourful decoration to which some people ascribe magical healing powers in order to sell more.
Just because going into salt mines has been used to treat respiratory ailments doesn't mean that it's possible to replicate that effect in your home with an overpriced bit of hollowed-out rock salt and a light bulb.
