Ion Technology

An ion is an atom or group of atoms which have lost or gained one or more electrons. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged ions are called anions. Negative ions are used in ion therapy which utilizes a special electronic device that generates negatively charged particles. The purpose of this application is that there may be some health benefit to a negatively charged environment, opposed to one that is positively charged.

We can experience a fresh feeling in nature forest or close waterfalls, which produce an abundant source of anion. An electric energy is created during drop from high to low place at waterfall. And anions are separated this moment and floating in air freely. Anions are generated through photosynthesis process, which is absorbing carbon dioxide and blowing out oxygen from trees in forest also.

Health Benefits of Negative Ions

According to the studies of Dr. Krueger and others, the amount of anions existing in the fresh air has significant influence on one's health and healing effect. When anions exist abundant in air, alpha wave activates in one's brain to release anxiety and tension that are the main cause of asthma and migraine. It controls secretion of serotonin and free histamine to promote mental activity and release tension. An increase of anion in the air gives good effects for health. There are some characteristic effects of anion:

  1. Healthy hair: Anion support to absorbing moisture into the hair and it make soft and shiny hair. Anion makes the scalp resilient and prevents the dandruff. Therefore eliminating static electricity and preventing hair loss. It keeps the healthy hair.
  2. Air purification: Anion reacts with positive ions and makes a neutralization of air. Pollutions such as dust, smog, nitro oxide, carbon monoxide and other organic materials, helps produce positive ions in air.
  3. Sterilization action: Anion neutralizes air through removing floating positive ions (or Cations) including fungi, dust, flower powder and polluted particles, which is causing the air to be dirty.
  4. Purification of blood: Anion increases the ratio of mineral ingredient in blood including calcium, sodium and potassium, and purifies blood through an alkalization. Anion helps recover your health from fatigue and activates a cell through produce endorphin and encephalin.
  5. Promotion of immunity: Anion increases the amount of gamma globulin in blood and it enhances immunity against infection. That's why anion therapy has a very effective healing effect.
  6. Control of autonomic nerve system: Anion controls autonomic nerve system in a beneficial manner for our body in reaction to the conditions of our blood system and internal organ.
  7. Negative ions could destroy and extract from the air certain types of bacteria that cause cold, influenza, and respiratory infections.

Applications of Negative Ion (or Anion)

Negative Ion (or Anion) is applied in various products field today, it has become a sensation. It opens a new horizon for "anion marketing". It has revolutionized common household necessities including hair dryers, hair straighteners, even tooth brush and toilet for sterilization, and has also been applied to combs through removing static electricity and reducing dandruff.

Unlike any other products is focusing on a new product, which an Ion Generator is installed inside in Hair Straightener. Especially, this Ion Generator can produce more than 1,000,000 ea/cm3 anions and proper amount of ozone that your hair needs. This helps remove odors, harmful chemicals etc., giving your hair a fresh new feeling.
