Misunderstanding about tourmaline

Tourmaline has beneficial effects on health and the environment but it is not a panacea.

1. Tourmaline stores little electricity when not stimulated.
Tourmaline is electronically charged when external pressure is applied or through temperature change. It is believed that the Piezo and Pyro effects are connected with the generation of negative ions.

2. Tourmaline is not a panacea.
Some websites say, "Tourmaline is good for health" or "Tourmaline cures diabetes" but this is not applicable to everyone. Negative ions can help treat functional disorders but a recommended dosage for treatment purposes has not yet been established. It depends on symptoms, individuals, environment and many other factors. Time frames for treatment also depend on patients circumstances. Tourmaline can alleviate symptoms of atopic dermatitis (eczema) within a matter of days, while it may take several months before blood glucose levels start to fall. Some give up tourmaline therapy because it does not provide significant improvements quickly. Tourmaline is not a panacea and you have to be patient until symptoms alleviate. It is very important to understand this before you start tourmaline therapy.

3. Tourmaline generates little amount of negative ions when not in motion.
Tourmaline is activated when rubbed or pressure/heat is applied. There are many bedclothes, underwear and athletic support products containing tourmaline. These products generate negative ions because pressure and heat are applied while in use. However tourmaline products to which no external energy is applied generate little amount of negative ions. It is very important to understand this before you purchase tourmaline products.

4. All stones are not the same.
Mineralogically all tourmaline stones are categorized into the same group. However tourmaline's ability to generate negative ions varies depending on its physical structure, hardness, impurity level and from where it is mined. We suggest you should make sure your tourmaline stone generates a lot of negative ions before you start your therapy. Otherwise you will feel no effect!
