The Difference Between Jade and Tourmaline Stones

1. What is the jade stone?

Jade stone means either of two metamorphic rocks made of different silicate minerals, nephrite, or jadeite. Nephrite is somewhat softer but less likely to break. East Asians have valued jade for centuries.

2. What is the tourmaline stone?

Tourmaline stone meaning to several different but related minerals that come in rich and varied colors. Tourmaline is 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.

3. The difference between a jade heating pad and a tourmaline heating pad

Jade heating pad focuses 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 of the body. Jade is an efficient absorber of natural infrared heat and passes it along to the body gently and smoothly. Researchers have found that it improves blood circulation, reduces symptoms of chronic diseases, alleviates pain, revitalizes skin cells, strengthens the brain.

However, the tourmaline heating pad is heated to emit Negative ions .negative ions increase collagen production, make cell membranes more permeable, and help strengthen the immune and autonomic nervous systems. As a healing stone, tourmaline is said to reduce intestinal and skin problems, support the exchange of oxygen in the blood, improve circulation, and help with liver, skin, and autonomic nervous system disease. 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.

4. Further knowledge about the heating pad industry

• What is FIR therapy?

The visible range of the sun’s light includes our familiar rainbow of colors. But only 44% of the full spectrum of sunlight is in the visible range. High–frequency ultraviolet rays makeup 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.
