I don't know, "ionisation" seems to be a pretty big topic of conversation among new-age types. I once knew someone who liked to visit the ocean because of all

  Yes, I didn't say they don't say "ions". :-) They have those bedside-table machines that make them. Probably not many New Agers know ions have anything to do with electrons. It's a strange combination of reverence for science (any new age book written by a PhD sells better) and contempt for and ignorance of it. I read some description of New Thought's students (19th C movement very like New Age) as people who had never been known before to be students of anything. Suddenly here's a Royal Road to the secrets of the universe, and those scientists are all too close-minded to listen...

  It’s negative ions from oceans that are supposed to be good for you, they’re purported to help against depression and other mood disorders. Studies have not shown conclusive proof that it works.
