Negative ion therapy refers to the practice of exposing yourself to negatively charged particles. This can be accomplished naturally through environmental exposure, or artificially by using an ionizing device.
“Particles” refer to the atoms and molecules that make up the space around you. All of the space around you is composed of small molecules like carbon and hydrogen. These molecules ultimately combine in different ways to form either:
solid
liquid
gaseous matter
Air, for example, is composed of molecules like nitrogen and oxygen that are in a gaseous state. When these molecules combine, they form stable, uncharged compounds.
These compounds can assume a negative or positive charge, and are then referred to as “ions.”
