WHAT ARE NEGATIVE IONS & WHAT DO THEY DO?
The purpose of generating negative ions in an ionic detox foot spa, is to neutralize the positive ions in the body. Positive ions create an acidic pH and negative ions create an alkaline pH. The higher the pH reading i.e. the higher the number above 7 the more the fluid being measured is alkaline and oxygen-rich and healthy. The lower the pH reading, the more the fluid is acidic and oxygen deprived and the more the body becomes prone to disease. Negative ions have a positive effect on allergies, asthma, catarrh, hay fever, sinusitis, eczema, burns, emphysema and general health. It was discovered that negative ions balance seratonin in the body, which explains why people tend to feel more alert, stable and energized in the presence of negative ions.
