Enhancing the human reactivity by using the negative air ions generators

Abstract

The paper represents a synthesis of the investigations made at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, on the effects of the treatment with ionised air during the physical exercise in man or upon certain simptoms and neuro-psychic processes in girls with premenstrual syndrome. The treatment by ionised air was applied daily, for 2 weeks, using moderate ionic concentrations (16,000-18,000 small negative/cmc air). The duration of the daily treatment was 15-25 mins. In premenstrual syndrome, very favorable effects were noted, confirming the hypothesis that serotonin and endorphins were involved in the mechanism of interaction between ions and biological systems. In young sportsmen treated with negative air ions a better cardiovascular and respiratory adaptation to effort was observed: the pulse and blood pressure returned sooner to normal levels. © 2009 Springer.
