[April 22, 2020]
Earth Day is celebrated on April 22nd
around the world to promote concern for the Earth.
What a perfect day to sink your bare feet into the
warm, grounding soil beneath you. |
“Earthing” or “Grounding” means connecting your
physical body to the Earth. The practice has become increasingly
popular with the realization that we are not connecting to our
natural environment as much as previous generations. There’s more
evidence coming out that earthing can have benefits by lowering
stress, inflammation and pain. The Journal
of Environmental and Public Health states, “It is an established,
though not widely appreciated fact, that the Earth’s surface
possesses a limitless and continuously renewed supply of free or
mobile electrons.

The Earth’s negative charges can create a stable
internal bioelectrical environment for the normal functioning of all
body systems which may be important for setting the biological
clock, regulating circadian rhythms and balancing cortisol levels.” [to top of second

The idea is that by being in touch with the
planet, the electrical force coming off the earth is able to
help lower inflammation and fight free radicals.
In fact, the term “earthing” has even earned a
patent as a natural method for reducing disease-causing
inflammation.
The best part is that it’s easy, free and can be
done anywhere, anytime. All you have to do is walk barefoot in the
grass or any natural surface and allow your skin to be in contact
with the Earth.
Next time you need to get your mail, go barefoot.
The benefits will add up over time and you cannot overdue it.
