What is Tourmaline?
Tourmaline is a semi-precious gemstone that may have some beneficial health properties when used as a mineral substance or in jewelry. Tourmaline is a constant source of electricity due to the presence of negative and positive ions. It is a natural source of ions and far infrared rays (FIR). These properties may make pure tourmaline useful for purifying water and other medicinal purposes.
High concentrations of positive ions (and the lack of negative ions) are associated with most of the environmental stressors found in our daily lives, such as exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke, pesticides, dust and soot, and the radiation released by high-voltage power lines, computers, cell phones and electric appliances, to name a few.
These positive ions create free radicals, which are known to be harmful to our health. Tourmaline converts moisture in the air into negative ions which neutralize the free radicals created by positive ions. The higher concentration of negative ions produced by Tourmaline may result in the same healthful effects on the body as the negative ions produced in nature.
Possible benefits of negative ions could include:
- Revitalization of cell metabolism
- Strengthening of the immune system
- Stabilization of blood pressure
- Improvement in blood circulation (dilation of vessels)
- Strengthening of the bones
- Purification of the blood (increase in alkalinity)
- Facilitation of breathing
- Reduction in pulse rate
- Enhancement of heart function
Far Infrared Rays
Far Infrared Rays (FIR) have been called the Light of Life, because they comprise the particular portion of the entire energy spectrum that's most responsible for sustaining life on Earthphoton energy.
A narrow spectrum of Far Infrared Waves in the 4 to 14 micron range is known to have particularly beneficial and healthful effects on the body. Why is this so? Consider that human beings send and receive FIR waves measuring in the 3 to 50 micron range, with the greatest output around 9 to 10 microns. When receiving FIR waves of similar length, such as those emitted by Tourmaline, the warming that is produced by these waves can penetrate bodily tissues deeply and very uniformly.
This warming therapy of Far Infrared, and its other effects on the body are known to have many health benefits, including:
- Promotion of blood supply, circulation and body warming
- Purification of body fluids, and elimination of harmful toxins
- Reduction of spasms through the warming of muscle fibers
- Increase in metabolism
- Strengthening of the immune system
- Relief from stress and fatigue
- Promotion of sound sleep
- Stimulation of enzyme activity
- Regulation of nervous system and reduction of nerve pain
