Negative Ions to Fight Seasonal Allergies

There are so many perks to wearing your negative ion sports band, but one of the most important benefits of your IonLoop bracelet is that it may help clear the air of airborne allergens such as pollen, mold spores, bacteria and viruses.

Basics of Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal allergies are an acute inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the nasal passages. Allergy inflammation is triggered when airborne pollen from various seasonal trees, plants, weeds, or mold spores enter the body through the eyes, nose, or throat, and trigger an allergic reaction.

Allergies caused by pollen and molds are often called “Hay Fever”, and could account for that runny nose, itchy eyes, and sinus or head congestion you feel on some days.

Although allergies caused by pollen and molds are not life threatening, they can be very uncomfortable, and affect approximately 40 million Americans.

Allergy Causes

Allergy season typically kicks off in the spring and fall when particular trees or grasses are pollinating. In southern states, trees may begin pollinating as early as February, and grass-related allergies may sprout as early as April, whereas allergies in more northern states may remain negligible until mid-May.

In the late summer, ragweed is a likely culprit of allergy symptoms. And in western states, allergies may occur well into the fall, due to their extended grass pollination periods.

In individuals who are more sensitive to allergies, the body views these allergens as dangerous intruders, and begins to attack, unleashing histamine and other irritants that cause localized inflammation.

Certain climates are also ripe for allergy development, such as rainy or wet climates, or areas containing a large concentration of certain types of trees or weeds.

How Do Negative Ions Work Against Allergies?

You could buy over-the-counter medicines that contain a combination of drug ingredients, or you can try naturally occurring negative ions for allergy relief.

Negative ions attach themselves to positively charged particles in large numbers and counteract the charge of those particles. As a result, these viruses, bacteria and pollen spores become too heavy to remain airborne and thus do not find their way into your breathing passages.

Studies show that negative ions can rid the air around you of:

• Dust
• Dust mites
• Pet dander
• Pollen (grass, weed, and tree pollen)
• Cigarette smoke
• Odor
• Mold spores

Negative Ions may relieve symptoms of:

• Hay fever
• Asthma
• Seasonal affective disorder
• Depression
• Chronic fatigue
