You might not realize it, but “earthing” restores and maintains the body’s finely tuned electrical state which in turn promotes optimum health.
Earthing, or grounding as it is sometimes called, is the art of walking barefoot so that the soles of your feet are in contact with Mother Earth. Earthing is to connect to the Earth’s natural, negative charge by being barefoot. (Or using conductive systems indoors)
The art of “earthing” believes that our bodies are meant to come into contact with the Earth on a regular daily basis for balancing our electrical system and healing.
The cells in our human bodies have electrical energy and we’re getting a high amount of positive electrons building up in our bodies by the prevalence of electromagnetic waves from cell phones and Wi Fi gadgets.
When we are “grounded”, any free radical’s or electron deficiencies are corrected.
Electrons are the source of antioxidant power and the electrons from the ground potently neutralizes and quenches free radicals that otherwise rip off electrons from healthy tissue, the cause of tissue damage and chronic inflammation.
Those scoundrel free radicals (positive electrons) build up in our bodies and direct contact with the earth (a grounding force) balances this out since it is a negative grounding charge.
In early times, mankind spent a great deal…if not most of his time outdoors in contact with the earth, gardening, walking, hunting and tilling the soil.
Earthing or grounding has many benefits:
Protecting your body from EMF’s
Reduces or eliminates snoring
Eliminates jet lag
Reduces menstrual symptoms
Reduces chronic pain
Improves sleep
Boosts energy
Lowers stress while promoting calmness
Improves mood
Normalizes appetite (great for anyone struggling to lose weight)
Recently, Laura Koniver, MD conducted a 10 week study examining the relationship between earthing and weight. Those who participated touched the earth for a minimum of 15 minutes a day for 10 weeks. They were followed up for any changed in weight, pain, mood, sleep, stress level, energy level and other important life parameter.
After 10 weeks of touching the earth for 15 minutes per day, it is amazing to report that 100% of the participants revealed that:
Their energy levels increased
Their stress levels decreased
Their appetites normalized and cravings were reduced
75% of participants went on to say that they had experienced:
Improved sleep,
Improved moods
Improved energy
Reduced chronic pain
It’s interesting to note that the participants that had pain issues saw them resolved while those with no pain issues lost weight.
It’s almost as though the earth was reading exactly what was needed in the way of energy and supplying it directly to heal the most acute area.
Participants who reported moderate to severe pain issues to upon starting the study had significant reductions in pain levels rather than losing weight…while those with no pain issues at the onset of the study were the ones that experienced a significant change in their weight, losing between 4 and 15 pounds over a 10 week period.
In other words, the pain level in those with active inflammation was significantly improved while those not needing help in those areas lost weight.
The most amazing thing is they did not change anything else about their lives…they simply started walking directly on the earth for 15 minutes a day.
So, not only can you look to Mother Earth to provide you with all the nutrients you need to grow a strong, vital, long living body, but it seems that Mother Earth just might hold the key to healing.
The earth…it does a body good.
