Negative Ions
What are Negative Ions?
They are oxygen atoms with an extra electron and they make you feel better. We called it "Chi". Remember that feeling you've experienced near a waterfall or high in the mountains, those are two places where thousands of Negative Ions occur.
In 1974, the Swiss Meteorological Institute first studied problems related to seasonal winds in various regions of the earth. The Foehn that blows across Switzerland, the Sirocco in Italy, the Sharav in the Middle East, and the Mistral in southern France were identified to cause physical and mental effects ranging from headaches and depression and also heart attacks.The one common denominator in all these wind variants was the type of electrical charge of the ions in the air. A very high concentration of positive ions was found to be the culprit. Conversely, the air quality studied at the site of a waterfall, in the mountains or after a spring rain showed significant amounts of negative ions. Further research revealed that human beings respond to negative ion levels above 1000 ions per cc. Scientific research concluded that negatively charged ions have positive effects on living organisms. Plants grow faster and healthier, humans respond with increased alertness and become more relaxed.In ideal indoor living conditions, the ion concentration should be anywhere from 2000-4000 negative ions per cubic centimeter (per cc). When this balance is achieved and maintained the results are a healthy ecosystem where plants and animals can thrive. Researchers have established that optimal performance is impossible for a human to achieve in an environment of 1000 negative per cc or less.Unfortunately most of the elements in our modern day environments act as a vacuum for negative ions. Air-conditioning, heating, synthetic fibers in our clothing and furniture cause a severe depletion of negative ions. Pollution from car exhaust, cigarette smoking, fluorescent lighting, electrical and electronic equipment, TV screens, overcrowding and even breathing, all contribute to negative ion depletion. The typical home interior can be measured to average 100 negative ions per cc. Workplaces, particularly factories and office buildings, generally have even more harmful air. This is largely due to the steel and concrete fabrication of commercial buildings. These materials absorb the charge of negative ions like magnets. Recent studies measuring air quality of office buildings report an average of 25-50 negative ions per cc.

Why do we need Negative Ions?
Our red blood cells & blood vessels walls are slightly negative charged. Because like-charges repel, breathing in negative ions helps pushing blood flow, improves blood circulation. There is saying rheumatism patients can forecast rainy day. This is because before thunderstorm arrived, lots of positive ions are attracted, breathing in positive ions slow down blood circulation which resulted aches and pain for them.
The abundance of Negative Ions will be absorbed by the body, naturally improving blood circulation, increase oxygen flow to the brain while enhancing immune system.
