Garden Water Fountains: Help Relieve Stress
10 Aug 2009
ccents your garden as perfectly as an outdoor water feature. Not only are garden fountains breathtaking in appearance, but they also provide several benefits that improve your health and mental soundness. They’re also quite simple to maintain, and modern production methods means they’re more affordable than ever.
The short answer is “yes,” and there are several reasons. For 1, the cascading water of the waterfall rupture the bonds that glue the water molecules together. This process releases negative ions into the atmosphere. Negative ions stick to positively charged particles, such as dirt and dust particles, allergens, pollen, bioaerosols, and a multitude of other airborne pollutants, toxins, and germs. When negative ions bond to these nasty agents, they neutralize one another. This helps clean the air, so you can now breathe easier and prevent the start of respiratory problems. An increased quantity of negative ions in the air will alleviate asthma, and may even enhance overall performance and body function. After all, much of your health depends on clean breathing.
Another health benefit of installing garden fountains is enhanced focus and concentration, which leads to mental soundness and peace of mind. A fountain accomplishes this through the production of “white noise,” a multi-frequency sound wave that drowns out other, less desirable sounds (such as traffic jams, shouting neighbors, and electric telephone pole hums). The immediate benefit of this, of course, is improved relaxation. Now with no loud noise you can rest peacefully, listening instead to the relaxing sounds of smooth flowing water. An unforeseen benefit of such restfulness, however, is the promotion of serotonin in your brain. Serotonin, is a neurotransmitter that specializes in brightening you mood: as you hear your fountain, you may feel yourself becoming more relaxed as you are lulled into a mental state of deep relaxation.
After installing your new outdoor fountain, and seeing all of these new health benefits for yourself, you will want to keep your waterfall running problem free for many years to come. Luckily, fountains are not too difficult to maintain. Cleaning methods, of course, depend on the material your fountain is made of. For all fountain types, however, make sure your garden fountain rests on a flat, level surface for an even water flow and distribution. Also, make sure your fountain uses distilled water, as tap water and ground water can clog the pump or increase mineral buildup. For stone and ceramic fountains, try using a Calcium Lime Remover to get rid of mineral buildup. To treat algae, be sure to use an animal-safe solution, as birds will likely use your water feature as a watering hole. Your water fountain should be taken apart and cleaned carefully every four to six months. See? It’s pretty easy.
