Did You Know Negative Ion ?

Ions are molecules that have gained or lost an electrical charge. They are created in nature as air molecules break apart due to sunlight, radiation, and moving air and water. You may have experienced the power of negative ions when you last set foot on the beach or walked beneath a waterfall. While part of the euphoria is simply being around these wondrous settings and away from the normal pressures of home and work, the air circulating in the mountains and the beach is said to contain tens of thousands of negative ions - Much more than the average home or office building, which contain dozens or hundreds, and many register a flat zero.

The action of the pounding surf creates negative air ions and we also see it immediately after spring thunderstorms when people report lightened moods, says ion researcher Michael Terman, PhD, of Columbia University in New York. At the turn of the 20th century Terman, confirmed that negative ions are found in very high density in the basin of waterfalls where we feel especially refreshed and re-energized.
