Bio Tourmaline Crystal Slippers for comfort, health and aching feet

Description

Brown tourmaline is reputed to be an excellent grounding stone, aligning and protecting the etheric body.  It is said to encourage community spirit and social commitment, and increase empathy and a feeling of harmony and well-being.

The tourmaline used in the slippers is crushed with ceramic to make tourmaline ceramic, which makes the stone sturdier and also increases the negative ion emission.

Tourmaline crystals are Piezoelectric and Pyroelectric. Piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure. So this effect, when applied to the body, is generally thought to act as a biological force sensor.  Research by the University of Pennsylvania in the late 70’s and early 80’s established that sustained application of electrical potential could stimulate resorption and growth of bone in vivo.  Pyroelectricity is the ability of tourmaline to generate a voltage when heated or cooled. The temperature change modifies the position of the atoms in the crystalline structure so that the subsequent polarisation generates a voltage across the crystal.  This is believed to be beneficial to human cell potential.

When the tourmaline stones are pressed or heated, they produce an electrical potential. The negative ions have been shown to increase metabolism, increase alpha brain waves, and positively impact serotonin oxidation in the bloodstream, thus helping to make you happier, more optimistic, creative and energetic.

When heated, tourmaline also emits FIR (Far Infrared) rays deep into the body, stimulating blood circulation and cell activity in the exposed areas. Both effects increase when more heat is applied. The cut and polished surface of the gems can also polarise light by reflecting rays, so enhancing their healing power.

The large 1 – 2 inch diameter tourmaline stone disks naturally emit healthy Anions (negative ions) up to 3000 ions per cubic centimetre. So when wearing the slippers, it will feel cool as it takes up heat from the body.  This electrical potential across the crystal will generate negative ions, and the infrared rays will cause vasodilation to regenerate and aid in additional blood supply to the area. This has been shown to stimulate fibroblasts and help produce more collagen in the skin, whilst giving a great soothing effect.
