WHAT IS EARTHING™?

Just as the sun gives us warmth and vitamin D, the Earth underfoot gives us food and water, a surface to walk, sit, stand, play, and build on, and something you maybe never thought about—an eternal, natural, and gentle energy. Call it vitamin G, G for ground. What does that mean to you?  Maybe the difference between feeling good and not so good, between having little or a lot of energy, between sleeping well or not so well.  
You can’t see the energy from the earth, but some people can feel it as a warm, tingling, and pleasant sensation when they are out walking barefoot along the water’s edge at the beach or on a damp grass field. There are old traditions of going for an early barefoot walk at dawn. The people did not do that just for fun, but for their health.
Throughout history humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground. But modern lifestyle, including the widespread use of insulative rubber- or plastic-soled shoes, has disconnected us from the Earth’s energy and, of course, we no longer sleep on the ground. We lost contact with the Earth and we have been decoupled from the healing energy of the Earth.
Fascinating new research has raised the possibility that this disconnect may actually contribute to chronic pain, fatigue, and poor sleep that plague so many people.
 

MAKE CONTACT WITH THE EARTH AND FEEL BETTER

The remedy for the disconnect is simple. Walk barefoot outdoors whenever possible and/or sleep, work, or relax indoors in contact with conductive sheets or mats that transfer the energy to your body. People who do on a regular basis say they sleep better, feel better, and have more energy during the day.  
This simple practice is called Earthing, also known as grounding, and it is both a technology and a movement which is transforming lives across the planet.

Earthing is safe and natural, for people of all ages, young and old, but it is not medicine or a substitute for medical treatment. If you have a medical condition, see your physician or healthcare provider.
 

EXPERIENCE EARTHING™ …… NOW

Go barefoot outside for half an hour and see the difference it makes on your pain or stress level. It’s best to sit, stand or walk on grass, sand, dirt, paving stones or concrete. These are all conducting surfaces from which your body can draw the Earth’s energy. Wood, asphalt, vinyl and plastic floors won’t work, because they are not conductive.
 

WHY IS EARTHING SO IMPORTANT FOR YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

Your immune system protects you against invaders from outside, such as viruses and bacteria, and helps with the repair of damaged tissue. When there is a problem somewhere in the body, the white blood cells and other special cells hurry to the place as a first response.
Some of those cells give off free radicals, which help with the disposal of invading micro-organisms and the damaged tissue. Free radicals are positive charged molecules (they have a shortage of one or more electrons), who are always in search of free electrons. Normally they take these missing electrons away from the invaders and the damaged tissue and that way kill these unwanted guests or break down the damaged cells to be disposed of.
This immune response also is called inflammatory response and often gives the well-known symptoms of inflammation: swelling, warmth and pain, redness and depending on the place a movement restriction.
When this recovery process comes to an end, the surplus of free radicals will have to be neutralized by anti-oxidants or free electrons in the body. If there are not enough free electrons, then free radicals can affect healthy tissue, what will bring about another immune response. That way we end up in a vicious circle and chronic inflammation will arise, which is the cause of many modern chronic and auto-immune diseases and an accelerated aging processes.
Because the earth has a surplus of free electrons, Earthing is the excellent way to provide our body in the need of free electrons. That way we can break through the so called vicious circle.
 

INFLAMMATIONS ARE OFTEN THE CAUSE OF MANY MODERN DISEASES AND CHROIC PAINS

Research has shown that the health problems listed below can be directly associated with inflammations:

*high blood pressure, heart failure, arteriosclerose
*a slowed down metabolism, which can lead to higher fat storage
*problems with memory and the decline of cognitive functions
*decline of the eyes and AMD (age-related macular degeneration)
*bad energy level and sleeping problems
*chronic pains, including back pains, joint pains and fibromyalgia
*stress and exhausted adrenals
 

THROUGH EARTHING WE TAKE AWAY THE CAUSE OF MANY INFLAMMATIONS AND BENEFIT FROM ALL THE POSITIVE RESULTS THAT COME FROM THAT

One of the most important effects of Earthing is that free electrons are flowing into the body that neutralize the free radicals. When this happens, free radicals will not attack healthy tissue anymore. In this way we take away the cause of the chronic inflammation and the body gets the chance to recover.
Many thousands of experiences from people that started Earthing, and in particular started sleeping grounded, show that indeed there are improvements with the above mentioned health problems, that often have inflammation as an important cause. Sometimes these improvements are small, often they are considerable, and sometimes they are spectacular!
