Hello FBB Family!
Our goal for the new year is to share with you all of our wonderful products and services here at Full Body Balance and how they can improve your overall well being. First up on the list is our flagship product, the Negative Ion Band.
What are Negative Ion Bands?
The band itself is made out of military grade silicon and is completely waterproof. It is safe to wear in showers, to the pool, and even in the ocean! Inside of our band is where the real magic happens. In the matrix of our bands we have finely ground up black tourmaline, volcanic ash, and germanium. The black tourmaline and germanium both are tremendous stones that give off negative ions to help ground the body while the volcanic ash has charging properties similar to selenite that help keep the bands consistently charged. These bands can and should be worn 24/7 so you can have the benefits of negative ions with you at all times.
How Do They Work?
To answer this question, we first need to dive into what negative ions are. Put simply, negative ions are negatively charged electrons which normally come from natural sources such as sunlight, crashing water, and natural minerals that carry a negative charge energy, such as black tourmaline and germanium.
Modern day life, especially in urban areas, emits positive ions also called protons. This is due to all of the electronics with which we surround ourselves. Think about how many electronics you come into contact with daily. You probably have a cell phone in your pocket or on your desk right now. You might be wearing a fitbit, or smart watch. If you're reading this, it's on a screen of some kind. Positive ions are not harmful by themselves, however, because we have a tendency to cut ourselves off from natural sources of negative ions, our bodies lack a balance between the positive and the negative charges. The over abundance of positive ions can leave us off kilter.
This is where our ion bands come into play. Our negative ion bands help fix the fact that we don't get enough negative charge from modern day life. Our ion bands are made so that you can keep a strong negative charge with you wherever you go. Think of your brain like a battery, our bands ground you just as you would ground an electrical current because everything we do is controlled by the electrical currents in our brains, being grounded allows the current to flow better. This will instantly increase the wearers’ strength, flexibility, and balance, and over time can even help with sleep and anxiety!
How Do Negative Ions Help?
Improves Mental Health:
According to research done at the University of California, negative ions normalize your serotonin levels which helps improve your general mood and can help you sleep better as well (Wendel, 2023). “Michael Terman, Ph.D., a professor at Columbia University, has researched the potential benefits of negative ions extensively. He found that if there’s a high concentration of negative ions in the air, they can have a temporary antidepressant effect in as little as 30 minutes” (Wendel, 2023). This research shows a clear link between negative ions and better mental health.
Helps with Allergies:
Common allergens that float, such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores, all carry a positive charge. When these particles come into contact with negative ions they stick to each other (because opposites attract). These clumps of particles become heavy enough that they fall to the floor where they can be vacuumed or swept up, instead of staying in the air where we can breathe them in. “In the US, research conducted by Northeastern Hospital, the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate Hospital, and the Frankford Hospital in Philadelphia uncovered that 63% of patients suffering from respiratory problems experienced partial or total relief when complimented with negative-ion therapy” (Wendel, 2023).
Reduces Sickness:
Negative ionizers are routinely used in hospitals in Europe for their beneficial impact on patient’s health and healing rates (Wendel, 2023). In our stores we've had many customers come back and tell us how much our bands have helped with their arthritis. A company called Norwich Union reported that installing negative ion air cleaners reduced sickness and headaches by 78% in the workplace (Wendel, 2023).
In Summary:
By incorporating our bands into your life, you can experience the advantages of negative ion therapy, promoting a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. We have them available in a multitude of colors and sizes ranging from X-Small to X-Large. They are available for purchase online as well as in both our locations in The Mall at Robinson: Full Body Balance and Full Body Balance Above and Beyond.
If you have any questions or want to see how our negative ion bands can help you, come on in and ask! We'd love to show you a demonstration. Until next time.
Much Love
The FBB Family
