#Negative ions full#
The TV documentary on negative ions as a trilogy was aired on, and, with the title "Restorative Medicine of Nature".īelow is a full translation of this video clip: The term "Sang Lo Byung Sa" in one word literally means "Born and live" (Sang), "get older" (Lo), "get sick" (Byung) and "die" (Sa), which is a term originated in Buddhism, representing the 4 inevitable agonies or pains of every life. She is primary author of “Prescriptions for a Healthy House” and co-author with husband Robert Laporte of “Econest-Creating Sustainable Sanctuaries of Clay, Straw and Timber”.This video clip is a part of the renowned TV documentary called "Secrets of Sang Lo Byung Sa" by KBS1, a major public TV channel in South Korea. She is the principle of Baker-Laporte and Associates and EcoNest Design. Paula Baker-Laporte, FAIA, is an architect and a certified building biology practitioner. Radiant heating, fire, an abundant supply of fresh outdoor air, fountains, salt lamps, natural finishes and furniture and plant-life will all help create an enlivened, negative-ion rich home for our positive well being.
#Negative ions generator#
A shower is a built-in negative-ion generator and perhaps that is why we sing there. The over-arching philosophy of building biology is to work with nature to build-in or facilitate the desired conditions rather than to apply a mechanical band-aid with the associated impacts of energy use and noise. Thus, eliminating as many of these elements as possible in the home will help to minimize the depletion of negative ions.Īlthough one can buy machines to produce negative ions, many ion generating devices also generate ozone which can be damaging to our airways, fixing one indoor air quality problem while introducing another. The problem is further aggravated if the outdoor air is polluted.
These include metal ductwork, plastics, fluorescent lighting, synthetic finishes and furnishings, and computer terminals. This is because the conventional home is full of positively charged surfaces that will “leach” neg-ions out of the air stream. ions per cubic centimeter is considered a minimally optimal it is not unusual for indoor air to have fewer than 100 neg. In fact, the air in most conventionally built homes is just the opposite. It follows that we would want the air of our homes to be like natural air in its most nurturing form…rich in negative ions. They are found in abundance at the seashore, in forests, near waterfalls and on mountains. In nature, negative ions are produced by radioactive gasses, cosmic radiation, falling water, plants and ultraviolet rays. Quite the contrary…negative ions are known to stimulate plant growth, purify air, kill bacteria, relieve hay fever, dispel fatigue, lift depression, increase productivity and promote a general sense of well being. On the other hand, there are no known ill affects related to an abundance of negative ions.
It is an interesting fact that Austrian judges have been known to hand criminals a lighter sentence if the Foehn is cited as mitigating evidence! The positive ion rich mistrals of Arles were quite likely a contributing factor to Van Gough’s ear slashing depression (although the mono-diet of coffee and absinthe may also have played an important role.) The Swiss and Austrians report dizziness, nausea, depression and migraines along with an increase in crime, suicides and accidents as a result of Foehn. Chandler above, and the Swiss Foehn are examples of these “evil winds that blow no good”. The Santa Ana winds of Southern California, referred to by Mr. The dust, being positively charged attaches to the negative ions and they tumble out of the airstream, leaving a wind rich in positive ions. When a wind blows over a desert, it stirs up dust. Under certain natural conditions positive ions dominate. In nature, an average of 1 atom in 1016 is ionized…about 1000 to 2,000 per cubic centimeter, roughly balanced between negative and positive ions.While positive ions affect us negatively, negative ions have a positive affect! A negative ion has an extra electron and a positive ion is missing an electron. Anything can happen.” Raymond Chandler- Red WingĪn ion is a charged atom or molecule. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight.

“Those hot dry winds that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch.
