Earthing/Grounding: A healing connection with nature.

New way of natural healing…

Walking barefoot on the beach sand, wet or humid concrete, ceramic tiles, on mud in a forest, or on natural grass then feeling good momentarily or after a while, why is that?

It's because of earthing/grounding effect...Earthing/grounding is a fast-growing movement based upon the discovery that connecting to the Earth’s natural energy is foundational for vibrant health.

The effect of earthing/grounding is the reason we sense well-being, as we receive amount of the ground's healing electrons. The earth has a slightly negative charge, so when we're barefoot we connect with earth, & earth's electrons flow into our bodies, giving a virtual “transfusion” of healing power. Also our bodies itself are conductive because it contain large numbers of charged ions dissolved in water, so when we connect with earth through our feet we share electrons that help in healing our cells, & our tissues.

This healing power has proved it's success in improving humans' health and a documentry was made to describe how effective, important and vital it is for human beings. The documentry, which is called 'The Grounded 2' was to introduce this amazing healing power to the public. It featured the story of Step Sunatra who was a Wall Street trader before his health suddenly began to decline, bringing him to the brink of death. But when he switched to an all-organic diet and learnt about grounding, he started recovering. 

The documentary, The Grounded 2, is a continuation to the film The Grounded, which was released in 2013. It features Step Sinatra as mentioned earlier, astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, and Dr. Mercola, among many others.

Moreover, the father of Step Sunatra Dr. Stephan Sunatra who is a cardiologist released a book on this healing power in 2010 and called it ‘The Most Important Health Discovery Ever?’

However, modern world is preventing us from this healing power, with inventions such as running shoes, are insulators, have very few free or mobile electrons such as plastic and rubber. When shoes were made of leather there was a conductive contact between the earth and our feet.  

Also, earthing is really important for the immune systems, blood circulation, providing the body cells with water and other physiological processes and may actually be the most effective, essential, least expensive, and easiest to attain antioxidant.

It's recommended when selecting a property of your own to take care of few things like using concrete, and ceramic tiles when flooring since both transfer electrons easily, but wood is an insulator so it wouldn't transfer electrons and thus indoor earthing would be hard. Another important thing to look for in a property is to have green areas around or a sandy place and even better a beach.
