Why Negative Ions in Your Shower are Good for You
There’s something in the air and it’s not love but close enough- It’s called negative ions. Negative ions are what’s responsible for that crisp refreshing breathing experience you get when you’re near a waterfall, at the beach, high in the mountains or after a heavy rain. Negative ions are tasteless, odorless microscopic molecules or atoms that have an electric charge. In 1899, two German scientists discovered these particles in the air carried electricity. Since then, over 5000 studies have been conducted on these negative ions. In 1999, a ionizer was tested by putting smoke in a tank. The ionizer was able to completely clear the smoke. We also learn from a recent study conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that ionizing a room will result in 95% less bacteria and 52% less dust in a room. Negative ions certainly have some amazing positive effects, not only on our living environment but our personal health as well. We may not have a waterfall inside our home, but have you ever wondered what benefits you could receive from having negative ions in your shower? Here are some ways negative ions in your shower can benefit you.
