Anyone can reap the benefits of earth's gift of negative ions. For a quick summary of what negative ions actually are, see our article entitled, “8 Ways to Expose Yourself to Earth’s Healing Negative Ions.”
The healing effects of negative ion therapy were discovered by Alexander Chizhevsky (1897-1964), Russian biophysicist. He founded “heliobiology” (the study of the sun’s effect on biology) and “aero-ionization” (the study of the effect of ionization of air on biological entities) and invented the first negative ion generator.
Negative ionization of the air is now mandatory in many Russian and European hospitals and workplaces.
Here are just some of the enormous benefits of negative ion charged environments. Negative ions help to:
detoxify impurities from the skin and lymph by deeply penetrating the skin
reduce inflammation by defusing excess positive electrons
lessen chronic pain
increase physical energy
speed healing and shorten recovery time
support adrenal health
strengthen the skeletal system
balance the nervous system
combat free radicals in bloodstream
lower stress hormones resulting in a more calm demeanor and better relaxation
normalize biological rhythms such as Circadian
regulate blood flow and blood pressure or where necessary, decrease blood pressure; improve the function of the cardiovascular system
improve the function of the cilia in your respiratory tract which protect your lungs from irritation and inflammation; this reduces colds, flu, asthma and the symptoms of hay fever
relieve headaches and muscle tension
lessen menstrual and menopausal symptoms
eliminate jet lag
provide protection from EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies)
clear the air of mold spores, pollen, pet dander, odors, cigarette smoke, bacteria, viruses, dust and other hazardous airborne particles; negative ions achieve this by attaching to the positively charged particles of the pollutants mentioned in large numbers.
overcome depression (many view them as a natural anti-depressant)
elevate a sense of well-being
increase productivity
enhance mental clarity by increasing oxygen flow to the brain
achieve better rest and sleep
stimulate plant growth

“Imagine a simple force of nature that can: Provide you with a feeling of well-being; offer a quick rush of energy; allow you to sleep better; relieve asthma, allergies, and other respiratory disorders; lower blood pressure.
Sounds crazy, but it's true, and it's something that a drug company cannot sell you.
The healing power of negative ions first became known to the public in 1900, when a young engineering genius named Nikola Tesla published an article about the amazing work he had been doing with electricity. Using his new invention, the Tesla Coil, he was able to transmit several hundred thousand volts through the air instead of using wires.
Even more remarkable, he was able to send the current through this own body without harm. In so doing, he noted that his exposure had a beneficial effect on his body. The effect that Tesla reported was the direct result of negative ions.
Now, over a century later, researchers understand the science behind the phenomenon that Tesla experienced.”
