Earthing refers to the subtle electrical connection of the body with the surface of the earth in instances such as walking barefoot on grass or sand.
Earthing has been noted to improve sleep, reduce cortisol levels, pain, and stress.
Why is earthing important?
Modern lifestyle has increasingly separated us from the flow of Earth's electrons. For example, we have increasingly worn insulating rubber or plastic soled shoes, instead of the traditional leather fashioned from hides which facilitates the transfer of charge between the earth and our bodies.
Earthing Reduces Electromagnetic Fields ( EMF) Induced on the Body from exposure to TVs, computers and other electronic devices.
Benefits of earthing
Pain reduction: Painful conditions are often the result of various kinds of acute or chronic inflammation conditions. Inflammation can cause pain and loss of range of motion in joints. Reduction in inflammation as a result of earthing has been documented with infrared imaging and with measurements of blood chemistry and white blood cell counts .
Reduction in blood viscosity: Thinning the blood may allow for more oxygen delivery to tissues and further support the reduction of inflammation.
Stress Reduction
Better Sleep
Increased Energy
