Good Water

It is well accepted that accumulation of toxins and cellular disrepair are two key causes of chronic ailments. Negative ions address both.

There are various sources of toxins. They include chemicals in our diet, pollution in the air and water, residual medications, metabolic wastes, etc. Left in the body, these toxins can cause harm and aggravate bodily systems. Negative ions act as antioxidant to neutralize various toxins. In doing so, negative ions prevent the harmful effects of toxins.

At a fundamental level, cellular repair is regulated by a balance between the complementary sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system. Toxins heighten “fight-or-flight” activities stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system, thus suppressing “rest-and-digest” activities stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system. Accumulated toxins therefore increase free radicals (which result from “fight-or-flight” activities), causing increased damage to cells, and while at the same time causing suppression of cellular repair. In neutralizing toxins and preventing their harmful effects, negative ions thus also keep them from causing suppression of cellular repair.

Chronic stress, which has become increasingly commonplace, causes prolonged heightening of “fight-or-flight” activities, and suppresses cellular repair as a result. In this case, negative ions can help to restore the balance between the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system, thus reviving cellular repair and bodily recovery.

These fundamental benefits of negative ions can work together to promote holistic rejuvenation of the body. Proper repair of blood vessel cells prevents blood vessels from thickening and hardening. Negative ions also help to keep the blood clean by neutralizing harmful particles, which both prevents clogging and improves the blood’s ability to transport vital nutrients to cells and toxins away from them. This promotes healthful cellular activities, and in turn improves organ functioning. Negative ions can therefore be a key to holistic general health improvement.

Modern society brings environmental pollution of air, water, electric-magnetic wave and steel and concrete. We are thus immersed in positive ions (free radicals), causing us to age more easily and speeding up deterioration of bodily systems.

Researcher at Cambridge University concluded that sickness, aging and dying have two main causes:

1. Continual accumulation of toxins
2. Incomplete repair of damaged cells

Body Negative Ion Content and Age

Children have more negative ions in their body, about 85%. They have high metabolic rate and toxins do not accumulate easily to cause problems. As they get older, negative ions decrease. The body’s ability to self-heal can no longer eliminate oxidants; cellular repair is thus incomplete, leading to disease, aging and death.

Amount of Negative Ions and Health

Below 50/cm3: induces physiological issues (chest tightness, headache, amnesia, neurasthenia, tiredness, allergy, respiratory ailment, irritability, etc.), leading to physical sickness

• 1000-2000/cm3: satisfies body’s basic need
• 5000-50000/cm3: strengthens immune system

Amount of Negative Ions in different environments

• Air conditioned enclosures
• (e.g. rooms and cars) 25/cm3
• Urban indoor 40-50/cm3
• Urban greenery 100-200/cm3
• Urban parks 400-600/cm3
• Countryside 700-1500/cm3
• Mountain and seaside 5000-10000/cm3
• Bamboo forest 8000-10000/cm3
• Natural forest and waterfall 5000-50000/cm3

Ways Human Body Absorbs Negative Ions from the Environment

85 % through the skin and 15% through breathing, so LavaBene steaming can replenish negative ions; this does not account for direct ingestion such as drinking negative ions infused water
