Today, our modern homes and offices seal out negative ions. Computer terminals, fluorescent lighting, forced air ventilation systems,
and modern building materials generate an over abundance of positive ions. Positive ions make us feel tired, depressed and irritable.
Balancing the ionization in your home may help to combat the ill feelings associated with our stressful lifestyles. The worlds most
tranquil and refreshing regions are loaded with billions of negative ions. Air near waterfalls, mountains, beaches and forests are among
those places where ionization levels are in complete and natural balance.
After a lightning storm, most of us feel invigorated and refreshed. This is because the electrical storm has generated trillions of
gloriously tranquilizing negative ions that ease tension and leave us full of energy. Negative ions are naturally occurring charged
air particles that are always circulating in the environment around you.
Summer air, in contrast to winter air, is highly concentrated with negative ions.
Negative air ions can also be produced by ocean surf and waterfalls.
Negative ion machines are designed to mimic summer-like conditions by supplementing the sparse winter ion supply.
These electrical devices, called 'air ionizers', produce negative air ions.
Negative ions contain an extra electron, and are created naturally by the sun, wind, and moving water. Such electrically charged
molecules, in high enough concentrations, neutralize certain odors and make air seem cleaner. In themselves, they are imperceptible.
Air ionizers have been used in the
treatment of seasonal winter depression.
Ionization therapy actually works by affecting the brain. Levels of a chemical messenger in the brain called serotonin
decrease in autumn and winter. This decrease may be related to
the depression that some people experience in the winter months. It has been proposed that negative air ions cause an increase
in brain serotonin levels.
