Hearthfall Units Generate Negative Ions
Besides looking great, Hearthfall units are also mild generators of negative ions. Negative ions are thought to facilitate clear thinking, promote concentration, increase relaxation, and enhance moods, energy and communication. They also restore our natural balance and sense of well-being, and clean the air by attaching themselves to pollution particles.

Negative Ions Produce Positive Energy
High concentrations of negative ions are essential for high energy and a positive mood. The air we breathe is full of positive and negative ions. Air conditioning, lack of ventilation, electronic devices and long dry spells remove negative ions from the air and suck positive energy from our living environments. And excessive amounts of positive ions can result in sickness and depression. Hearthfall units can help by balancing the negative and positive ions in the air.

Negative Ions in Our Environment
According to scientists, areas near waterfalls and rivers have the highest concentrations of negative ions. Moving vehicles, offices and closed rooms have some of the lowest. The normal ion count in fresh country air is 2,000 to 4,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. The normal ion count at Yosemite Falls is more than 100,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. On the other hand, there are far fewer negative ions in homes and an estimated 100 per cubic centimeter in a car during congested rush-hour freeway traffic. No wonder traffic is so stressful.

Though not as large as Yosemite Falls, Hearthfall units—with their cascading water—are excellent producers of negative ions for smaller environments. Placed in any room, a Hearthfall is more than just a beautiful waterfall—it is a source of positive energy.
