Unlocking the Healing Power of the Earth: The Benefits of Grounding (Vitamin G)
Grounding (Vitamin G): Benefits, Research, and How to Start Earthing Today
Grounding, also known as Earthing, is an alternative medicine practice that involves connecting the body directly to the earth. By placing your bare feet or hands on the ground, you can realign your body's electrical energy with that of the earth. This practice allows the body to absorb the natural electrical charge of the earth, which can help reduce inflammation and promote overall wellness. We like to call this "Vitamin G."
The surface of the earth is filled with enormous amounts of free electrons. These electrons can have a multitude of beneficial effects on the human body. According to research published in the Biomed Journal in February 2023, grounding has been shown to:
- Attenuate the inflammatory response
- Decrease red blood cell aggregation
- Improve heart rate variability
- Favorably impact blood viscosity
So, kick off your shoes and let Mother Earth nourish you. Embrace the practice of grounding and experience the natural healing benefits it offers.
