Health aspects
Air ionization plays an important role in our well-being and health. Scientific studies show interesting correlations between the concentration of ions in the air and various health aspects.
Effectiveness for various diseases
Studies have shown that ionization devices can have a positive effect on various complaints. The results are particularly remarkable for
- Hay fever: 71% of users report a good improvement
- Migraine: 74% report positive effects
- Chronic headaches: 76% of sufferers experience an improvement
- Psychological complaints: 79% feel an improvement
Natural ion concentration in different environments
The concentration of ions in the air varies considerably depending on the environment and weather conditions:
| Environment | Negative ions/cm³ | Positive ions/cm³ | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clear mountain air | 3000 | 2500 | 5500 |
| Normal air | 1500 | 1800 | 3300 |
| Before a storm | 750 | 2500 | 3250 |
| After a storm | 2500 | 750 | 3250 |
| Typical office air | 150 | 200 | 350 |
| Closed vehicle | 50 | 150 | 200 |
Influence on well-being
The balance between positive and negative ions has a demonstrable influence on our well-being. Various effects can be observed, especially before storms, when the concentration of positive ions rises sharply:
- Increased aggression
- Increased susceptibility to diseases
- Increased risk of accidents
- Increased susceptibility to errors
- Tendency to act irrationally
Studies show that around 75% of people react to an increased proportion of positive ions. In contrast, negative ions have a calming effect on the body. A large-scale study of 2,000 elementary school also confirmed these effects in children who were significantly more active and aggressive before storms.
The influence of ionization is even stronger during a full moon, which underlines the importance of a balanced ion concentration for our well-being.
