Q2: Do shaped salt lamps work as well as natural ones?

Yes, shaped salt lamps provide the same benefits as natural rough salt lamps. The shaping process doesn’t affect the salt’s properties, though some believe larger surface areas may ionize air more effectively.

Consider your decor style and room purpose. Spheres offer 360-degree illumination, pyramids fit modern aesthetics, hearts suit bedrooms, and bowls work well as centerpieces. Choose what complements your space best.
