Environmental therapy air ion therapy

According to measurements, the number of negative ions contained in different regions is different. In living rooms in large cities, there are only 40 to 50 anions per cubic centimeter; there are 100 to 200 anions per cubic centimeter in the air of urban streets; there are 750 to 1,000 anions in the fields; and anions near valleys and waterfalls The number is over 20,000. Generally speaking, people living in rural areas, mountains, and fountains tend to live healthier and longer than people living in large cities. This is because negative ions can stabilize the blood pressure of the human body, reduce the number of breaths, concentrate, boost the spirit, and enhance the ability to work. In addition, artificially manufactured air ionizers can produce high concentrations of negative air ions. Inhalation of negative ions in air can cure hypertension, bronchial asthma, upper respiratory tract inflammation, and pertussis.
