Since Himalayan and Persian salts are mined from different countries, they have different properties but that's not the only difference between the two salt lamps.
Persian salt lamps are rarer than Himalayan lamps, but not because they are a better quality or have better natural holistic properties. The area of Iran that provides the salt can only be mined in limited quantities. This means that the Persian salt lamp is more expensive, but doesn't have any extra qualities that make them preferrable to Himalayan lamps.
Himalayan salt lamps provide negative ions to combat the positive ions that are created due to the amount of electrical devices in the home. The salt lamp acts as a filter to cleanse and deodorize the air, which reduces pollutants like cigarette smoke, dust and pet dander. The bulb inside the salt lamp warms

Particles in the air that are positively charged can reduce the oxygen supply to the brain. A Himalayan salt lamp that is kept in the bedroom can reduce the impact of positive ions by completely removing them from the air, so the sleeper can get a full night's rest. Anyone who can't sleep with a light on at night will still see the benefits of the lamp if it's left on during the day.
Salt itself is extremely important to the body with Himalayan pink salt having a rich mineral content. That makes it a great source of salt for providing nutrients. Many families use the salt from lamps in their cooking since it can relieve a variety of skin rash problems and flu-like symptoms.
With all the benefits of Himalayan salt lamps, a home gains an advantage from having one in every room especially the bedrooms. With the rarity and expense of Persian salt lamps, the Himalayan salt lamp is a better choice for providing complete benefits and ease of access. They can easily be purchased for every room in the home while Persian ones are prohibitively expensive and not worth the
The David Vases are two porcelain vases which originate from China during the Yuan Dynasty. The two vases are known for being the two oldest blue and white vases in the world and date back to 1351. The vases, named after Sir Percival David, a British-Indian collector specializing in Chinese porcelain; famed for having the world's biggest Chinese porcelain collection, consisting of 1500 Chinese Ceramics. Although unknown where the vases ventured apart, they reunited in 1935 having their journey come to an end in London, England and since rest in the British Museum. The vases are made up of different cultural influences making it aesthetically unique; the deep navy blue influenced from Iranian art and the white porcelain from the Chinese artistic
The two pieces of art that I have chosen to compare is the ‘Green Tara 14th century’ and ‘Tara 19th century’ which are both from the collection at the Rubin Museum of Art. The Green Tara sculpture is from central Tibet and is made of Gilt copper alloy. The Tara 19th century is from Kham province in Tibet and is painted with pigments on a piece of cloth.
By comparing the texture of each, we can immediately eliminated baking powder, chemically known as NaHCO3, because it had a finer texture and lacked the crystalline structure evident in Figure 2B. The remaining suspects would then be table salt or NaCl in Figure 2D or Epsom salt in Figure 2E. In continuing to compare crystal structures, table salt had a blocky, cubic crystal structure; whereas Epsom salt contained more irregularly shaped particles, most of which appeared to be pentagons. Figure 2B showed that the crystal structure of the salt was in no way cubic or regularly-shaped, eliminating it from the list of possible constituents. That would leave behind Epsom salt as the identity of the salt from
... disciplines of knowledge and obedience and are some of the best equipped and most feared warriors of their time, their primary focus is the defense of Sparta. Persian forces are ill equipped with primitive weapons and a lack of armor, relying on sheer numbers instead of skill and built for mobility in order to move more quickly around the vast Persian Empire.
The Roman Empire had access to civilization something that lacks in the Persian Empire. Another difference in the advancement of both empires is the fact that the Roma Empire had a republican system of governance while the Persian Empire was a complete monarchy. The Persian Empire also had an elaborate taxation system that ensured people subjected to the central government while the Roman Empire did not have this feature.
In the sixth century B.C, the land that we now call Iran was the center of the largest empire in the world. The kings of Ancient Persia( such as Cyrus the Great) were the leaders of a great civilization that made amazing advances in laws, goverment and communication. Founded in 550 B.C by King Cyrus the Great, the Persian Empire spanned from Egypt in the west to Turkey in the north, and through Mesopotamia to the Indus River in the east. Unlike most empires at that time, the Persian kings were benovelent rulers, and allowed a diverse variety of diffrent people with diffrent ethnic backgrounds. The Persian empire was split into three diffrent empires with three diffrent time periods but the first empire was called the Achaemenid Empire. It began with King Cyrus the Great and ended with King Darius III.
Persia was located on the Persian Gulf near Arabia and modern-day Iran. The Persians settled in the fertile plains of the south. These plains along with the Persian Gulf made the Persian civilization strong. The soil was extremely fertile and allowed them to grow an abundance of crops. Persia had a dry climate thus water was very valuable. Laborers
The Chihuly Persian ceiling was my first awww moment. It can be missed if your focus is straight forward. The Persian ceiling caught my attention because, I did not have to go directly to the receptionist desk. Therefore, it left just enough on the horizon to catch my eyes. The colors stood out the most backed up by different shapes. It would be easy to get a stiff neck, staring at the ceiling. I would gaze at the ceiling for so long then look away to wonder what it reminded me of. It had a resemblance to a National Geographics episode of deep sea cold water corals. The only things absent were the rushing waves towards the shore, sea gulls fighting over head and the breeze. It felt good to get away for that moment only to realize I was at
Throughout Persian history there were many great men who changed the story of time. During the era of the multicultural empires, Persia was a place where practices of the many did not preclude fresh approaches in both religion and politics. The Prophet Zoroaster introduced a religious theory that the world had never experienced before while King Cyrus II instituted a radical approach to conquering land and ruling a massive kingdom.

The 1979 Iranian Revolution or the Islamic Revolution is usually misunderstood because of its unusually violent nature. The people of Iran were fighting for their rights and prosperity for their country. The revolution called for violence and blood because there was no other way, in the Iranian people’s perspective, to achieve their goals. In the decade prior, the Unites States was facing somewhat of a revolution of its own. Civil rights leader Malcolm X described revolution as “...bloody. Revolution is hostile. Revolution knows no compromise. Revolution overturns.” There was a lot of discontent in Iran during the 1970s, which caused the Revolution. The education levels in Iran were at an all-time high, but many young adults that were graduating
When walking around a city, you may notice that the architecture and art look similar to other works. Many of these designs have changed along the course of history and time whilst others have not. The designs that many people still see in society and day to day living is from two of the many cultures of the old civilizations, Roman and Islamic. The art and architecture forms from the Islamic and Roman cultures have many comparisons and contrasts between them. They, the Islamic and Roman nations, have both adopted from other cultures and have made their own discoveries in the art and architecture worlds. The Roman and Islamic architecture and art vary drastically from each other and yet have varying comparisons between the two.
Sodium is essential to human health. Sodium is an extremely important electrolyte and an essential ion, and the mineral helps to regulate fluids, so that the body knows when to lose and gain water again. One benefit of sodium on health is that it plays an important role in enzyme operations and muscle contraction. Some other health benefits include improved heart performance, a more sensitive nervous system and improved glucose absorption.
Sodium Chloride is basically salt just not as you think. “Sodium Chloride is a metal halide composed of sodium and chloride with sodium and chloride replacement capabilities. When depleted in the body, sodium must be replaced in order to maintain intracellular osmolarity, nerve conduction, muscle contraction and normal renal function (NCIt, 2017).” Salt helps out food taste and other food things. “Salt, also known as sodium chloride, has many end uses. Virtually every person in the world has some direct or indirect contact with salt daily. People routinely add salt to their food as a flavor enhancer or apply rock salt to walkways to remove ice in the winter. Salt is used as feedstock for chlorine and caustic soda manufacture; these two inorganic chemicals are used to make many consumer-related end-use products, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic made from chlorine and paper-pulping chemicals manufactured from caustic soda (NCIt, 2017).” Salt is a big thing in resources. “Salts are inorganic compounds, which means they do not contain carbon and hydrogen together in one molecule. Salts form when a positively-charged atom, called a cation, attracts a negatively charged atom, known as an anion (Williams, 2017).” Salt is a compound. “Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and
