The anion radiation stone bed for preventing water vein includes plural support legs(110), a support(120), a side plate(170), an upper plate(130), an electromagnetic wave absorption portion, and a sterilizing material storing portion(127). An upper hard layer of the upper plate(130) is made of granite, marble, boulder, limestone, blue elvan or yellow elvan. In the upper end of the support(120), at least one aroma material receiving portion(125) is formed. In the electromagnetic wave absorption portion, resistance, condenser and inductor are connected in parallel to a power line, and one end of the electromagnetic wave absorption portion is connected to nano-silver film and a copper plate with a conducting line.
