Why negative ions have positive properties for body and mind

You’re probably familiar with that uplifting, energetic feeling that buzzes through your whole body after a walk in the fresh air, in a damp forest or by the sea. Though invisible to the naked eye, the air in nature is packed with vitamins.

They’re called negative ions and are often found in nature where water evaporates, for example by the sea, in forests, lakes and similar places. As well as being brilliant for the mind, studies suggest that negative ions are brilliant for the body: they speed up the transport of oxygen to our cells and body tissues. They act as a powerful antioxidant, as they neutralise free radicals. They enable the lymph nodes to detoxify the blood. They boost the skin’s resilience and much more.

You can easily enjoy all these benefits for your body, mind and skin from the comfort of your own bathroom with our iconic, ionic RECHARGE dry brush, which generates negative ions directly on the skin through natural friction.

Positive ions vs. negative ions

Positive ions have the opposite effect to negative ions. Particularly in larger cities with pollution, but also from electronics such as computer screens, TV screens, mobile phones and Wi-Fi, the body is exposed daily to positive ions and thus free radicals, which cause oxidative stress and inflammation and break down cells and tissues in the body and on the skin, accelerating premature ageing. In short: positive ions are bad news for the body and skin and sap our energy. 

Negative ions, on the other hand, act as a defence against positive ions, as they help to neutralise free radicals by supplying them with extra electrons. In other words: negative ions act as a protective shield around the body.

Brush your way to negative ions with Karmameju’s RECHARGE dry brush, which generates negative ions on the skin through natural friction. Imagine going for a walk by the sea or in the woods. That same feeling of well-being and increased energy is what dry brushing with RECHARGE gives you.
