Waterfalls
Not only that waterfalls have always been the favorite habitat of mystics and artists.., but for some reason, everybody feels relaxed and in a special mood while near them
Falling waters, water waves, or water evaporation from plants, create thousands of negative hydrogen ions by splitting water molecules. The negative electrons join up with other free positive electrons in the air neutralizing their electrical charge.
These electrically charged particles (ions) appear to have a lot to do with such varied things as our moods:
- why cattle grow skittish before a storm...
- why rheumatic joints "tingle" when the barometer falls...
- how ants know in advance that it's going to rain, in time to block their tunnels...
The inspiration and romance generated at places like Niagara Falls have a direct relationship with the serotonin level in the bloodstream, caused by the waves of negative ions from the spray of these falls...
Serotonin is thought to play an important part in shaping mood, thought processes, sleeping patterns, eating patterns, reaction to external stimuli and control of motor activity. People feel positive about both themselves and the world around them.
By increasing the Serotonin level on the blood can treat cases of mild to moderate depression which can lead to symptoms like anxiety, apathy, fear, feelings of worthlessness, insomnia and fatigue..
"Moving on, the idea that many people with seasonal affective disorder are treated with anti-depressant drugs strikes me as extremely bad medicine , if not an outright con on the part of doctors and pharmaceutical companies. When people lack nothing more than natural sunlight and fresh air, but are doped up on anti-depressant drugs that have been linked with increased rates of suicides and that dramatically alter brain chemistry in ways that we still fully don't understand, that is, I think, the epitome of modern medicine."- Source: naturalnews.com
