Hello everyone, and thanks for dropping in!
Let’s begin with ions. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, an ion is “an atom or group of atoms that carries a positive or negative electric charge.”
In our environments—whether at home, in the office, or outdoors—many particles, including dust, pollen, viruses, bacteria, and odours (like food smells, pet dander, mould, and mildew), carry a positive charge. These particles become positively charged due to static electricity, and their inhalation can lead to health problems.
Now, let’s discuss the advantages of negative ions. Have you ever felt rejuvenated while walking by the ocean, in the woods after a fresh rain, or during a thunderstorm? These natural experiences occur because Mother Nature releases negative ions into the air.
Negative ions bind with positively charged ions to form heavier molecules that fall to the ground. Although this process isn’t visible, it is widely accepted in the scientific community.
Additionally, burning pure beeswax candles can emit negative ions. Many people choose to light beeswax candles for an hour before vacuuming to enhance air quality and ensure clean floors.
So, let’s be kind to one another and take care!
