In areas that are ripe with positive ions, there is an increased chance of you getting sick. This is because airborne toxins and allergens are generally perpetuated by positive ions. An increase in exposure to negative ions can have a combative effect for both you and the environment you occupy. This has to do with the charge of the ions. Negative and positive ions attract each other. So when you release negative ions into an area with a lot of positive ions, they will attach themselves to each other and fall to the ground. Without the potentially harmful positive ions looming in the air, your chances of experiencing their negative effect greatly decrease. They say opposites attract and things that are the same repel. It just so happens that when it comes to negative ions the reverse is also true. The negative charge of the ions forces them away from each other and as a result, the more there are, the much greater distance the negative ions will cover. In terms of both distance and your wellness, a little exposure can go a long way

Negative ions don’t just clear out your external conditions, but your internal conditions as well. The cilia in your trachea are tasked with keeping harmful airborne particles away from your lungs. A benefit of negative ions is supporting the functionality of this cilia. By functioning better, you breathe cleaner. You reduce your risk of getting sick from airborne particles dramatically. One of the benefits of negative ions is to support the functionality of the cilia. By functioning better, you breathe cleaner and the risk of getting sick from airborne particles reduces dramatically. Breathing is something a lot of people often take for granted, but you owe it to yourself to take care of your wellness levels to help systems function better

They say you should get eight hours of sleep a night, but with all the stress in your life that can be a real challenge sometimes. Studies have shown that negative ions support the body’s natural ability to both relax and sleep. What this means is two very important things for your wellness: better sleep and less stress. Serotonin is excreted by your brain and affects your feelings of happiness. The remainder is left to perform other tasks for your body, one of which involves your ability to sleep. In a study, it was discovered that rats exposed to ion treatment were able to handle larger workloads. (4) With a normal level of serotonin, you are left with more of a feeling of control in situations where you would typically be overwhelmed. Getting proper rest and relaxation are important aspects of controlling your life that can be improved with negative ion therapy.

Those of us who work in offices understand the toll that extended computer use can have on the body and mind. A common occurrence in office settings is frequent headaches due to the disruption and lack of exposure to negative ions. Messy offices filled with electronics and other people are not ideal for your wellness. You are constantly exposed to electromagnetic frequencies and airborne allergens that can trigger headaches and a loss of focus at any time. During a 16 week trial conducted by Surrey University at a company called the Norwich Union, it was discovered that the occurrence of headaches was reduced by 78% when they installed negative ion emitting machines in the office. As a result, the company was convinced to keep them installed as the benefits for their workers were deemed noticeable. Being exposed to negative ions can affect the flow of oxygen to your brain. This, in turn, impacts the level of concentration and attentiveness you can maintain throughout your day.
