Health Effects Of Pure Tourmaline

Tourmaline comes in a variety of colors.


Tourmaline is a semi-precious gemstone that may have some beneficial health properties when used as a mineral substance or in jewelry. Tourmaline is a constant source of electricity due to the presence of negative and positive ions. It is a natural source of ions and far infrared rays (FIR). These properties may make pure tourmaline useful for purifying water and other medicinal purposes.


Purifies Water


When used as a water filter, tourmaline negatively ionizes water, which improves taste, reduces alkalinity and reduces odor. The far infrared rays (FIR) in tourmaline help purify water, reduce waste and make it healthier for consumption.


Improves Sleep








According to the website N-Ion, users have reported better and more restful sleep, fewer symptoms of fatigue and more energy when wearing tourmaline jewelry. The reason may be that the ion charges in the jewelry positively affect the body's energy and improve sleep-and-wake cycles.


Improves Hair


Styling tools that use tourmaline may improve the quality and appearance of hair due to the negative ions in the tourmaline, as well as the far infrared rays (FIR). These factors reduce frizz in hair, close the cuticle and make hair appear shinier.








Other Health Benefits


The application of tourmaline by wearing it on the skin may also offer improvement to individuals suffering from arthritis, joint problems and depression. It may also act as a detoxifying agent, according to a publication issued by the Brazilian government.
