Release stress with negative Ions

What’s that relaxing feeling when you are at the beach, or by stream listing to the sound of running water. It’s not just because you are enjoying nature, It’s the Fact your brain is processing all the Negative Ions that surround you when you enjoy these types of environments.

Bring all the healing powers of Negative Ions to your back yard.

What Are Negative Ions

Ions are molecules that have gained or lost an electrical charge. They are created in nature, as air molecules break apart due to sunlight, radiation, and moving air and water. You may have experienced the power of negative ions when you last set foot on the beach or walked beneath a waterfall. While part of the euphoria is simply being around these wondrous settings and away from the normal pressures of home and work, the air circulating in the mountains and the beach is said to contain tens of thousands of negative ions — Much more than the average home or office building, which contain dozens or hundreds, and many register a flat zero.

Positive ions are atoms or molecules that have lost one or more electrons and consequently have a shortage of electrons. In contrast, negative ions have gained one or more additional electrons which makes these odorless, tasteless, invisible molecules negatively charged as a whole.

There is a delicate positive-negative ion balance in nature. In a thunderstorm, the natural ratio of positive to negative ions can be disturbed very easily. The normal concentration of positive ions in the air is very high. During and following the storm, the number of positive ions gradually declines while the concentration of negative ions increases.

It is believed that negative ions are actually biologically active and make a positive impact on the natural 24-hour cycle. Created in nature as air molecules break apart due to sunlight, radiation, ultraviolet rays, the vital energy of plants and moving air and water, they are not harmful even if their concentration is high. 

Offices, factories, and shopping malls are places where we will encounter an excess of positive ions that intern have an effect on our mood and energy levels. For a whopping one in three of us, who are sensitive to their effects, negative ions can make us feel like we are walking on air. You are one of them, if you feel instantly refreshed the moment you open a window and breathe in fresh, humid air after a thunderstorm. 

Places with very high concentrations (tens of thousands) of negative ions such as these:

• Mountains
• Parks
• Waterfalls/Water Fountains/your Bathroom Shower
• Springs
• Beaches/Pounding Surfs
• Forests (especially pine forests)
• Moving air/Wind
• Dirt/Earth
