The difference between Jade and Tourmaline

What is jade?

The term “jade” may refer to either of two metamor- phic rocks made of different silicate minerals, nephrite and jadeite. Nephrite is somewhat softer, but less likely to break. East Asians have valued jade for centuries.

 

 

 

What is tourmaline?

The name “tourmaline” is used for several different but related minerals that come in rich and varied colors. Tourmaline are piezoelectric-when they are heated, they produce an electrical potential (different electrical charges at opposite ends). They also emit FIR (far infrared) radiation and negative ions, effects that increase when heat is applied.

 

 

 

 

The difference between Jade and Tourmaline

Jade heating pad focus more on FIR benefits ,Jade is heated to emit FIR (far infrared) rays that penetrate the body at a depth of 5.5-6 inches. This produces benefits from the skin to the deeper areas if the body. Jade is an efficient absorber of natural infrared heat and passes it along to the body gently and smoothly. Researches have found that improve the blood circulation, reduce symptoms of chronic diseases, alleviate pain,revitalize skin cells, strengthen the brain.

However , the Tourmaline heating pad is heated to emit Negative icons .negative ions increase collagen production, make cell membranes more permeable, and help strength the immune and autonomic nervous system.As a healing stone, tourmaline is said to reduce intestinal and skin problems, support the exchange or oxygen in the blood, improve circulation, and help with disease of the liver, skin, and autonomic nervous system. It is thought to improve the immune, endocrine, and lymphatic systems, heal insomnia, and stimulate regeneration throughout the body. 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, heal dysfunctional relationships, and increase empathy and creativity.

 

PS :

What is FIR therapy?

The visible range of the sun’s light includes the our familiar rainbow of colors. But only 44% of the full spectrum of sunlight is in the visible range. High –frequency ultraviolet rays make up 4% and can age skin prematurely or cause cancerous changes. Low-frequency infrared rays make up 52%. They are not harmful and do not damage the skin. Infrared light transmits more heat than ordinary light. FIR therapy uses far infrared light rays to provide some of the benefits of sunshine without direct exposure to the sun.

 

What are negative ions?

An ion is an atom or molecule with an electrical charge, either positive or negative, Ions are naturally created when things such as sunlight, radiation, or moving water break apart molecules of air. The environments around mountains, waterfalls, and rolling oceans are rich in negative ions.
