ARTIFICIAL STONE EMITTING NEGATIVE ION, FAR-INFRARED RAYS OR THE LIKE AND HAVING AMELIORATING EFFECT ON BEAUTIFICATION/HEALTH/ENVIRONMENT, AND METHOD FOR UTILIZING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an artificial stone which is obtained by pulverizing an ore such as tourmaline into a powdery state and solidifying the resulting powder with cement while taking into consideration air permeability/water permeability so as to easily use the ore in daily life because the ore is expensive and hard to form although the ore emits negative ions and far-infrared rays and has various ameliorating effects on beautification/health.

SOLUTION: The artificial stone can be formed into various shapes and used as base materials of commodities such as a pillow, a foot massaging implement, a deodorizing agent or a desiccating agent, or of objet d'art. Further, various ameliorating effects on beautification/health by the effects of negative ions, far-infrared rays or the like can be obtained by taking a bath in which a flat plate-like artificial stone is charged or rock bathing by lying on a warmed artificial stone.
