Earthing, also known as grounding, is the practice of connecting your body directly to the Earth by walking barefoot outside or using grounding products indoors. This connection allows the transfer of electrons from the Earth into your body, which can have various health benefits.
Earthing is believed to reduce inflammation, improve sleep, increase energy, lower stress, and support the immune system by neutralizing free radicals and stabilizing the body's electrical environment.
Some studies suggest that earthing can improve sleep, reduce pain, and lower stress. However, more research is needed to fully understand the extent of its benefits.
There is no strict guideline, but many people find benefits from spending 20-30 minutes per day connected to the Earth or using grounding products.
Grounding products typically require minimal maintenance, such as regular cleaning with mild soap and water. It's also important to occasionally check the connection to ensure it's still grounding properly.
