Earthing

Earthing - the missing link to a healthier you!

What is Earthing?
Earthing, also known as Grounding, is based upon the revolutionary discovery that connecting to the Earth's natural energy is a foundation for vibrant health. Earthing simply means to physically connect to the Earth in the form of bare skin contact by being outside (for example walking barefoot on the beach), or in bare skin contact with Earthing products indoors while you work, relax or sleep.

Many people notice that they feel better when they walk barefoot on the Earth. Recent research has explained why this happens. Our immune systems function optimally when our bodies have an adequate supply of electrons, which are easily and naturally obtained by barefoot contact with the Earth. Research indicates that electrons from the Earth have anti-oxidant effects that can protect the body from chronic inflammation.

The surface of the Earth has a natural source of electrons and subtle electrical fields which are essential for proper functioning of our immune systems, circulation, synchronisation of biorhythms and other physiological processes. Our sophistication and desire for creature comforts has caused us in Western society to be a people completely disconnected from this abundant supply of free electrons. In recent decades the incidence of chronic diseases, allergies, auto-immune conditions, and insomnia have skyrocketed. When you provide your body with a constant source of free electrons through either diet or grounding you help to radically reduce inflammation which is widely acknowledged as one of the primary factors to our modern illnesses and chronic pain.

How does Earthing combat inflammation?
The human body has a marvellous system in place to kill unwanted bacteria using reactive oxygen species (ROS), sometimes called free radicals. These ROS are delivered to a site of injury by white blood cells. Although very effective at this task, ROS are also highly reactive biochemically and can damage healthy tissues. ROS are usually positively charged molecules that need to be neutralised immediately after their job is finished to prevent them from diffusing into healthy tissue. For that purpose negative charges are needed. Electrons have a negative charge and when freely available in the body they will satisfy the ROS and prevent damage occurring to healthy tissue. Inside the human body are conductive systems that deliver electrons from the feet to all parts of the body. Negative charges have always been available, thanks to the lightening strikes that keep the surface of the Earth fully supplied. When your body is at the same electrical charge as the surface of the earth, electrons will freely move from the site of abundance to the site that is lacking, just like osmosis. When we are disconnected from the surface of the earth by wearing shoes with rubber or plastic soles and spend our time in houses and work environments that are completely insulated from the Earth, our bodies become electron deficient and very susceptible to chronic inflammation.
