Negative Ion

When anion is mentioned, people will immediately form the idea of “something good to health”. In fact, there is a large amount of anion in nature and in the recent years, anion seems to have become an advertising buzzword. As everyone knows, most people are not fully aware of the negative ions, not to mention its benefits for healthy living.

Ions are short-lived elements,usually for a few dozens of minutes. The density of negative ion,which is also known as anion, in the air is very much dependant on the unique condition of the geographical environment. When the anions in the air are inhaled into the lungs and get into the bloodstream, they enhance metabolism. That is why when we are in the suburb, waterfall or the jungle area, we will feel  relaxed and refreshed. This is because of the freshness of the air we inhale.

The discovery and application of anion can be traced back as early as the nineteenth century. The first scientist to disclose at an international academic conference the benefits of negative ions to the human body is the German physicist, Dr. Philip Leonard. In his view, the highest density of anions in nature is to be found at the surroundings of the waterfall. According to  scientific research,anion is one of the essential elements to all organism. Generally, an average person needs approximately 13 billion anions a day while our modern living environment, offices or the entertainment places can only provide 1-2 billion. The reason is that not only the synthetic fibre and carpets have the positive charges that neutralize the anions, the concrete and the fibre flooring are also prone to absorb anions in the air.

Due to the worsening of air pollution and environment contamination each day, anion, the “vitamin of the air”, plays an indispensable role in the general health of our lives.  Anions have  the following positive effects on  human health :

  • Relieve muscle soreness
  • Transform an acidic body to mild alkaline
  • Improve quality of sleep, help to relax
  • Eliminate free radicals
  • Improve air quality, purify the air
  • Raise the oxygen level in the body
