These characteristics are key to its capacity to promote detoxification ¹ |

Why are we interested in a mineral that can emit Far Infrared Rays and Negative Ions ?
|
Far-infrared rays are invisible waves of energy that penetrate all layers of the body, including the innermost regions of tissues, muscles and bone. FIR and negative ions gently heal, soothe, stimulate and detoxify the body. They increase blood flow by expanding the capillaries that carry our blood, promoting its oxygenating and regenerative effects on all major organs of the body. This this in turn promotes improved functioning - including their ability to dissolve and process toxins |

Negative ions are also important in determining our moods. Michael Terman, PhD, of Columbia University in New York, has researched negative ions and reports that "The action of the pounding surf creates negative air ions. We also see this immediately after spring thunderstorms, when people report lightened moods.² Columbia University studies on depression in winter have shown that depression can be relieved as much through negative ion generators as it can through the use of antidepressants - without some of their negative side effects. These ions increase oxygen flow to the brain, increasing awareness and mental energy ³

Swedish Olympic world-swimming champion, Glen Christiansen, was reported as having stated that, "The green tourmaline necklace gives me a lot of strength, and allows me to recover faster from hard workouts."

How Is Tourmaline Gemstone Good For You ? The far infrared rays that Tourmaline emits create the same electrical resonance in the body as is normally found in water. This has a very soothing effect on the nerves. As three quarters of the human body is composed of water, this resonance creates an increased vitality in living tissues, enhancing energy levels and stimulating metabolism |
