GROUNDING - NEGATIVE ION THERAPY

What are Some Benefits of Grounding – Negative Therapy?

(based on published publications)

Increased Energy

Grounding - Negative Ion therapy is believed to help balance the body's energy and improve overall vitality.

Stress Relief/Anxiety Reduction

It may reduce and even alleviate stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of relaxation and calm.

Mood Enhancement

Some people report improved mood and mental clarity when exposed to negative ions.

Improved Sleep

Negative ions may contribute to better sleep quality and reduced sleep disturbances.

Respiratory Improvement

Negative ions can help purify the air by attracting and neutralizing pollutants and allergens and allow better breathing.

NOTE: Research on the therapeutic benefits of negative ions is ongoing, particularly regarding mood enhancement, sleep quality, and air purification. While many users report positive experiences, more clinical studies are needed to establish the full scope of its effects.

What are Negative Ions and How do They Work?

The air is naturally ionized, balancing positive and negative ions in natural environments. Negative ions are antioxidants and are in the clean air we breathe, the natural organic food we eat, the alkaline water we drink, and in the ground (earth) we walk on (a practice we know as grounding when we walk barefoot and we come in direct contact with the earth’s electrons). They are able to neutralize positive ions (also known as free radicals) and prevent oxidation. In Industrialized environments like cities and overpopulated suburbs, positive ions (also known as free radicals) are in abundance whereas in the purest natural environments like forests, beaches, and in the mountains, negative ions are found in large quantities.

For molecules to stay in their natural state (neutral), there has to be a balance of positive ions and negative ions in our bodies. Due to pollution, poor quality food/water and other negative environmental impacts, our bodies are starving for replenishment of negative ions. As a result, our bodies are full of positive ions (free radicals), which pull electrons from neighboring cells to stabilize themselves and by doing so, cause damage to those neighboring cells. And this chain continues until all cells are damaged. A damaged cell will no longer function as it used to and this is the beginning of disease and degeneration. By replenishing our body with a surplus of negative ions, we can neutralize the positive ions (free radicals) before they can cause harm to our bodies and can repair those cells that have undergone oxidative damage.

How is Grounding - Negative Ion Therapy at Scape Delivered?

At Scape, we provide PEMF therapy mats supplemented with negative ion therapy generating over 1500 negative ions per cubic inch per minute. These negative ions are generated when the mat is heated up through the crystals in the mat (amethyst, tourmaline, obsidian, jade, and quartz). By concentrating these natural negative ions sources from the Earth, the mat can easily provide us with hundreds of thousands to millions of negative ions in less than 20 minutes to counteract free radicals and oxidative damage and keep our bodies healthy.

How Does the Use of Crystals (Amethyst, Tourmaline, Obsidian, Jade, and Quartz) Help?

Our PEMF therapy mats at Scape use 5 different crystals (amethyst, tourmaline, obsidian, jade, and quartz), each having its own intrinsic properties but act synergistically when combined together exponentially enhancing their energetic properties when heated up. While amethyst, tourmaline, obsidian, jade, and quartz are each unique crystals, they all produce negative ions & far infrared rays (FIR), therapies which have both demonstrated health benefits. FIR heat is created when the crystals are heated. FIR heat is different from traditional heat, which just heats the surrounding air. FIR heats the body directly penetrating 3-8 inches.

Amethyst Crystal:

Amethyst is a superconductive gemstone and generates its own small magnetic field which is beneficial to us similar to the benefits of PEMF therapy.
Infrared rays penetrate the body 6-8 inches to stimulate cellar metabolism and detoxification.
Induces Delta/Theta brain wave to promote deep relation, meditation and restorative sleep.
Has been used as a health stone for thousands of years and is a great all-purpose health stone. This is largely due to its ability to generate far-infrared rays & negative ions when heated.
Provides excellent negative ion output when heated to about 1500 negative ions per cubic centimeter.
Metaphysically amethyst has been known to stimulate, and soothe the mind and emotions. It activates the “crown chakra” & “third eye chakra” which are the gateways to expand oneself spiritually and to the expanded universe beyond our bodies. These chakras are largely connected to our dream state which may be why amethyst is considered an excellent stone to assist in sleeping.

Tourmaline Crystal:

The highest producer of negative ions & can generate negative ions even when not heated up. Typically produces 1500+ negative ions per cubic centimeter when heated.
Known as the electric stone as it produces natural piezo electric currents which are partly the source of the stones naturally generated negative ions.
Superconductive and generates a natural Infrared heat.
Radiates energy at 8-13Hz per second which is the identical frequency as our brains alpha waves. This can bring our minds into an alpha state much quickly than normal. The alpha state of the brain can bring calmness, increase energy while improving your mood and is ideal for mediation.
Counteracts the effects of unnatural/ high frequency electromagnetic fields thru its release of negative ions.
Metaphysically tourmaline is known as a stone good for grounding & energizing oneself. It helps create a connection between your base chakra and the earth. When the base chakra and earth connection are out of balance individuals frequently will find themselves lethargic, unmotivated, unenthusiastic and in need for constant simulation. By strengthening the base chakra and ground connection you can regain your strength & stamina.

Obsidian Crystal:

Amplifies the properties of amethyst, tourmaline and jade.
Blocks geopathic stress and environmental pollution.
Emotional healing stone.
Metaphysically Obsidian is a very protective stone, and is excellent for removing negative energy on the physical level ( pain) and the emotional level ( depression). It clears the psychic smog from your aura while protecting you from psychic attacks. It grounds you to the earth thru the base chakra, and repels unloving thoughts.

Jade Crystal:

Known as one of the best natural heat absorbers. As PEMF mats a Scape are designed to heat the crystals, which in return heat you, jade is the preferred crystal to use.
Adding jade to amethyst and tourmaline enhances their natural attributes such as increasing negative ion production and producing Far Infrared Rays.
When left unheated jade can also be used to provide a relaxing coolness.
When heated jade typically produces around 700 negative ions per cubic centimeter.
Metaphysically Jade opens the heart chakra which promotes love, compassion, forgiveness and trust. When the heart chakra is blocked it can lead to grief, depression, loneliness & fear.

Quartz Crystal:

Although the 4 above crystals (amethyst, tourmaline, obsidian, and jade) may play a more active role, quartz crystals are incorporated into the PEMF mat for the purpose of enhancing the therapeutic effects, promoting relaxation, boosting mood, and potentially aiding in pain relief and energy restoration.

Is Grounding - Negative Ion Therapy Safe?

Grounding – Negative Ion Therapy is generally considered safe, as it mimics the natural environment. However, it’s important to use ionization devices as directed.

Are There Any Precautions to Take When Using Grounding - Negative Ion Therapy?

Grounding – Negative Ion Therapy is generally safe for most people. However, if you have specific concerns or underlying health conditions, consult with a healthcare professional to ensure it’s suitable for you.
