What is Tourmanium

Tourmanium is NUGA unique material made with tourmaline, germanium, volcanic rocks and elvan. Tourmaline is the only type of mineral that retains its electrical characters permanently and is called polar crystal.

The Tourmanium stone is composed of the semi-precious stone Tourmaline, Germanium, volcanic rock, and elvan rock. When the Tourmanium stone turned on, it emit the warm heat of Far-Infrared Rays deep into the body,stimulating blood circulation and cell activity in the exposed body area. The Tourmanium stone also naturally emit healthy Anions due to its Tourmaline and Germanium composition.

Anions (or negative ions) have been shown to increase metabolism, increase Alpha brain waves, and positively impact Serotonin oxidation in the bloodstream, thus helping to make you happier, more optimistic, and more energetic.
Tourmanium stone emits far-infrared rays and anions. Genuine Tourmanium stone is a miraculous therapeutic tourmanium stone created by firing/sintering the ultra-micro particulate mixture of tourmaline, germanium, elvan and volcanic rock at 1300 C. This stone emits more than 3000 anions per cubic centimeter, creating a fresh environment. For your reference, 0~hundreds of anions exist under usual conditions of daily life. According to the test report prepared by KFIA (Korea Far Infrared Association), this product emits 38,300 anions / cubic centimeter (Apr. 14, 2005).

Environment-friendly / human-friendly materials used ,The special copper fiber with high corrosion and shatter resistance shields electromagnetic waves, and the natural palm used inhibits mat deformation and gives antifungal, mothproof, moisture-proof and deodorant effects.

What Are Negative Ions (Anions) and How Can They Help Me?
The reason the body feels refreshed while you're in the shower, in a forest, or near a waterfall, hot spring, or the ocean, is because of the negative electric charge in the air. These negatively charged particles are called Anions, or negative ions. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion. Anions promote the metabolism of cells, provide a sense of wellness, refresh the blood, relieve fatigue, increase appetite, and relieve stress. Anions have been shown to increase Alpha Brain Waves and to positively affect the oxidation of Serotonin in the bloodstream. Alpha Brain Waves vary from 8 to 13.9 Hz and are directly associated with relaxation, relaxed focus, light trance, increased Serotonin production, pre-sleep, pre-waking drowsiness, meditation, and the beginning of access to the unconscious mind. The Anion has been called the vitamin of oxygen. The distribution of negative ions per cubic centimeter in a forest, or around a hot spring, waterfall, or beach is typically around 800-2000 atoms.

Since many Tourmanium stone are on throughout the day inside the Therapy centre, the number of Anions per cubic centimeter within the Center is very high, enhancing the calming and peaceful atmosphere and experience.

Effects Of Negative Ions

Blood Purification Effect
Healthy blood is a weak alkaloid. Positive ions turn the blood acidic. Negative ions neutralize acidic blood back into a weak alkaloid. This can help to prevent geriatric diseases, cancer, and many allergies.
Stress Relief
Negative ions stimulate the parasympathetic nerves to calm the soul and the mind and activate the endorphin hormone which amplifies a relaxed sensation. The beta-endorphin within the brain is nicknamed "the happiness hormone" and functions to stabilize the mind, thus aiding to drive out diseases. Anions have been shown to increase Alpha brain waves helping to explain why so many people sing in the shower and why some people need a shower to fully wake up after sleep.
Controlling the Autonomic Nervous System
One in three people will suffer a stress-related break down at some point. Conditions related to stress include: insomnia, headaches, feeling of cold, shoulder, neck and back aches, and many other illnesses. These illnesses are said to be caused by positive ions in the nervous system. Negative ions work to restore balance in the nervous system. The nervous system controls organs and tissues within the body. The nervous system consists of the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.
Strengthening Immunity
Negative ions strengthen the intestines and the liver which are at the center of your immune system. By keeping your liver and intestines healthy, your immune system will strengthen too.
Strengthening Your Lungs
Many people are affected by colds, bronchitis, asthma, allergies, and pneumonia. Polluted air is full of positive ions, which in turn has a negative effect on lung health. The negative ions induce the discharge of carbon dioxide and increase the transfer of oxygen to the cells. Increased oxygen transfer in the lungs speeds respiratory illness recovery.
Pain Alleviation
On cold, rainy days and when a low pressure weather system approaches, many people with arthritis complain of pain and stiffness in the hands, back, knees, etc. This is due to the increased amount of positive ions in the air. Exposure to negative ions on these days will bring balance inside your body, and the related pain will be lessened.
Purifies the Air
Cigarette smoke, dust mite feces, vehicle and industrial emissions, and other particulate matter all pollute the air that we breath. These particulates are full of positive ions and are the prime causes of asthma and many allergies. Just like the Sharper Image, Ionic Breeze, negative ions in your home neutralize polluted air, making it clean and refreshing.
Improving Allergy Conditions
All allergic diseases come from the antigens. The body neutralizes that antigen and makes an antibody. Allergic diseases can be divided into two groups... inhalant allergies and food allergies. Inhalant allergies include asthma, pollinosis, allergic splenitis, and allergic conjunctivitis. Food allergies include atopy dermatitis, hypersensitive colitis, and hypersensitiveness. By inhaling negative ions, cinder and pollution causing antibodies are reduced.
Diseases Caused by the Oxidation of Blood
Oxidation of blood causes the following conditions/diseases: high blood pressure; hardening of the arteries; cerebral apoplexy; heart disease; allergic disease (asthma, bronchitis); weak conditions; menopause; insomnia; headache; insomnia; chronic constipation; arthritis; ulcer of the stomach; diabetes; and many more.
When Should You Ventilate Air?
Air inside buildings should be ventilated at the time of day when the most negative ions are in the air. This is typically between 6am and 10am in the morning. You'll notice a significant difference in the amount of negative ions in the air simply by ventilating the air a few times per day. Closed, unventilated spaces are bad for your health, as the air likely contains many harmful chemical agents. The generation of negative ions, ventilation, blocking electromagnetic waves, controlling humidity, and charcoal are all natural ways to promote health.

Benefits of Tourmaline Gemstone

Tourmaline gemstone is a semi-precious mineral similar to granite. With colors ranging from magenta to teal-blue, meadow-green to vibrant yellow, and even black, tourmaline gets its name from the Singhalese phrase “tura mali,” which means, “stone mixed with vibrant colors.” It’s believed that no two tourmaline stones have the exact same color and it’s historically revered as a “magic” stone that is capable of protecting whoever wore it. Although it might be a stretch to say tourmaline has supernatural powers, it does have the uncommon and very special ability to generate an electric charge and emit negative ions and far infrared rays. [1]

What are Far Infrared Rays?
Far infrared rays are invisible waves of energy. They’re able to penetrate all layers of the human body and reach the inner-most regions of tissues, muscles and bone. Through this, far infrared rays and negative ions gently soothe, stimulate and detoxify the body and mind. Negative ions are also incredibly important in determining mood. Michael Terman, PhD, of Columbia University in New York, has researched negative ions and reports, “The action of the pounding surf creates negative air ions and we also see it immediately after spring thunderstorms when people report lightened moods.” [2] Additional research has shown that mood disorders may be improved just as well through negative ion generators as antidepressants — but without the negative side effects. Why? Because these ions promote oxygenation to the brain and regeneration of the blood.[3]

The Health Benefits of Tourmaline Gemstone

Tourmaline emits far infrared radiation in the 4-14 micron wavelength. Electromagnetic radiation in the far infrared range is able to boost the immune system and promote detoxification. In fact, far infrared therapy is widely used in Japan by Kikohshi, people who heal by the laying of hands. [4]
Make no mistake, tourmaline is a powerful ally when your body is in need of detoxification. The far infrared rays created by tourmaline actually produce the same resonance in the body that is normally found in water. This form of resonance absorption helps relieve stress, increase alertness, stimulate circulation, and boost the immune system. Here are just a few of the powerful effects from tourmaline.
Helps detoxification
Supports fat loss
Reduces water retention
Improves circulation
Supports the liver and kidneys
Promotes a healthy mood
Helps eliminate toxic metals [5]
Reduces lactic acids and free fatty acids
Does Tourmaline Improve Physical or Sexual Performance?
Many professional athletes have reported great performance improvements after using therapeutic gemstones like tourmaline. Olympic swimming champion, Glen Christiansen, reportedly stated that, “The green tourmaline necklace gives me a lot of strength, and allows me to recover faster from hard workouts.” She also added, “Curiously enough, it gives me more sexual interest and power.” This isn’t the first time it’s been suggested that tourmaline may have affect sexual response. Tourmaline, which favorably influences circulation, has been reported to boost vitality and vigor in both men and women. [6] [7]
Using Tourmaline
Tourmaline emits far infrared rays and produces the best effects when your body is in close proximity. For that reason, tourmaline, and many energy-emitting stones, are commonly incorporated into jewelry. Some people simply keep tourmaline in their home or office so it’s energy can broadcast right into their environment. We’ve included tourmaline in our Detox Foot Pads™ to support the removal of toxins from the body. Have you used tourmaline before? What results did you experience?
