Negative Ion Therapy: How do negative ions affect our lives?

Negative ions are basically like the enemies of positive ions. Negative ions neutralise positive ions in the atmosphere. In the past, the ratio of negative ions to positive ions was 1:1.2, now it is the opposite, with the ratio of negative ions to positive ions as 1:0.833. There are now more positive ions in the air than before!

By neutralizing positive ions, negative ions help to remove elements that have a detrimental elements on the body's natural system, as negative ions which have an extra electron, is attracted to form bonds with these elements in our body. It helps drain the toxins from the environment and the body, and eliminates any disturbance of the muscles and nervous system. As these hindrances are being removed and brought under control, the individual's physical and mental health will be boosted.

"Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy," says Pierce J. Howard, PhD, "They also may protect against germs in the air, resulting in decreased irritation due to inhaling various particles that make you sneeze, cough, or have a throat irritation. And 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. You may be one of them if you feel sleepy when you are around an air-conditioner, but feel immediately refreshed and invigorated when you step outside or roll down the car window," Howard says. "Air conditioning depletes the atmosphere of negative ions, but an ion generator re-releases the ions that air conditioners remove.


In a study conducted by Columbia University, 25 people with SAD (Seasonal Affective Depression) sat in front of a negative ion air purifier for a half hour every morning for a month. Half the subjects were given a low level of negative ions, and the other half a high level. The higher level of negative ion treatment proved to be as effective against SAD as antidepressants, such as Prozac and Zolof, and without the side effects of these drugs.

Negative ions are odorless tasteless molecules that are breathed into our respiratory system. High concentrations of negative ions can be found in nature in mountain forests, waterfalls, and beaches where people feel energized and invigorated, which helps relieve stress, alleviate depression, boost energy.
