What is a negative ion generator?

A negative ion generator is an electrostatic air cleaner that sprays a continuous fountain of negatively charged ions into the air. Some researchers say that the presence of these ions causes a feeling of well-being, increased mental and physical energy, and relief from some of the symptoms of allergies, asthma, and chronic headaches. It may also aid in healing of burns and peptic ulcers.
