Negative Ions : Invigorate & Refresh The Mind & Body

Ever wondered why the air feels more invigorating and you feel fresher when you are at a waterfall or in the mountains? This is due to the abundance of "feel good" negative ions in the air.

Research has confirmed the beneficial effects of negative ions on living things - plants grow faster and healthier, animals are clamer and perform tasks better, and humans become less stress and more alert.

Negative ions have been found to facilitate the delivery of oxygen to cells, which stimulate bodily function and rejuvenation. They also increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy. Studies have also shown that negative ions help to lift mood, alleviate depression and stimulate body's reticuloendothelial system : a group of defence cells in our bodies which marshal our resistance to disease.

Unfortunately, air-conditioning, exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke, fluorescent lighting, cellular phones, electrical and electronic equipment, TV and computer screens - all these adversely deplete negative ions from our surroundings and instead increase positive ions, which have been linked to muscle and joint aches, irritability, mood swings, headaches, insomnia, lethargy, lessened efficiency and general lack of health.
