After long work days, you may feel the need to recharge your batteries near the sea, near a waterfall, or in green spaces. It turns out that these are environments rich in negative ions. On the other hand, urban environments containing high levels of pollution are rich in positive ions. Numerous studies show that humans have a natural desire to balance positive and negative ions as often as possible. A surplus of positive ions causes a feeling of depression, while environments rich in negative ions provide a feeling of well-being.

What are the positive effects of negative ions on our health?

Contrary to their somewhat derogatory name, negative ions have beneficial effects on health. If negative ions are lacking in a given environment, there is a greater risk that the occupants of that environment will contract respiratory diseases.
