Has anyone heard of the grounding or earthing techniques?
Here is a video i watched and it looks interesting, i always tried to kick my shoes off when i could and walk on the grass or just on the floor, i felt the health benefits. my feet felt better and so did i in a lot of ways, this video confirms that it has health benefits so I’ve ordered a grounded sheet.
here is the video & its worth a look.
I don’t believe in it as an actual science, BUT, nature can help me feel calmer, and clearer minded because of the atmosphere it creates. So in that way it is very grounding for me
This is some research about it
Chevalier G. The effect of grounding the human body on mood. Psychol Rep. 2015 Apr;116(2):534-42. doi: 10.2466/06.PR0.116k21w5. Epub 2015 Mar 6. PMID: 25748085.
Earthing (grounding) refers to bringing the body in contact with the Earth. Health benefits were previously reported, but no study exists about mood. This study was conducted to assess if Earthing improves mood. 40 adult participants were either grounded or sham-grounded (no grounding) for 1 hr. while relaxing in a comfortable recliner chair equipped with a conductive pillow, mat, and patches connecting them to the ground. This pilot project was double-blinded and the Brief Mood Introspection Scale (comprising 4 mood scales) was used. Pleasant and positive moods statistically significantly improved among grounded-but not sham-grounded-participants. It is concluded that the 1-hr. contact with the Earth improved mood more than expected by relaxation alone. More extensive studies are, therefore, warranted.
