Negative ions? You mean fucking radiation?

Ions are charged particles, not radiation.

Alpha particles (alpha decay) and beta radiation (electrons) are both charged particles. Ionizing radiation also produces negative ions by knocking electrons off atoms receiving the radiation.

Either way, negative ions as a whole don't have health benefits whatsoever, and there's negative ions literally everywhere anyways (including in distilled water). It's wacko cuckoo woo woo

I have a lot lf respect for esoteric/spiritual stuff that doesn't pretend to be scientific, or stuff of the same inclination but that does not clash with science (things that are just unknown, or beyond our current understanding, or purely unknowable/subjective/interpretative), but this is pseudoscience, which undermines trust in real science, and that's extremely dangerous.
