What is Earthing?

Earthing is about grounding your body to the surface of the earth which helps you feel better. The earth is loaded with natural healing energy in the form of negatively charged free electrons. These electrons are vital to optimal health as they are also the end result of the anti-oxidant cycle [the same result that you get from Vitamin C, E etc.].

When connected to the Earth, these electrons—nature's most abundant source of anti-inflammatories—instantaneously begin to neutralize the positively-charged free radicals that create inflammation, pain, and dis-ease.

Grounding can be achieved by standing barefoot outdoors on the grass or earth. Inside your house the best way to get grounded is to get a safe, conductive carbonized rubber mat, or a special cotton bed sheet with silver threads. These "barefoot substitutes" work as a natural link to the earth that will ground you while you are on the computer or sleeping.

  11. Improved Blood Viscosity and Zeta Potential Pilot Study by Dr. Stephen Sinatra M.D. | See below ↓↓↓

"But perhaps one of the most powerful benefits of Earthing is what it can do for your blood pressure. As many of you know, high blood pressure is caused by something called “hyperviscosity,” which means your blood is thick and sticky and moves slowly through your circulatory system. In other words, your blood is thick like ketchup, and that feeds the inflammation process that damages arteries, boosts blood pressure, and increases the risk of blood clots.

Instead of being like ketchup, you want your blood to flow like red wine, smoothly and easily. That’s where Earthing comes in. By altering the electrical “charge” of your blood, Earthing helps to improve its flow and viscosity. It also helps to discharge stress, which as you know is another factor that can drive up blood pressure." Dr. Stephen Sinatra

On a cellular level, blood becomes thicker when red blood cells clump together, or aggregate. Cells stick together when they lack enough negative surface charge with which to repel each other.

Zeta potential describes the relative surface charge of red blood cells. Increased zeta potential indicates thinner blood and greater negative charge of red blood cells. As electrons are negatively charged, absorbing them by Earthing may increase the negative surface charge of our red blood cells, and thus decrease blood viscosity and increase zeta potential.

In a recent pilot study on zeta potential, researchers sampled blood from 10 healthy subjects before and after 2 hours of grounding with an Earthing device. They then examined the relative movement of red blood cells using a video camera that had been mounted on a dark-field microscope, and found that Earthing lowers blood viscosity and improves blood flow.

Using an Earthing device may protect against cardiovascular events like heart attacks or strokes. It follows, that sleeping at night while grounded provides the greatest opportunity for blood thinning effects.

The Benefits of Earthing

For more than 11 years, Earthing research and feedback from individuals who have grounded themselves, primarily while sleeping at night, demonstrate a multitude of benefits. Here is a short list of them:

1. Improvement or elimination of the symptoms of many inflammation-related disorders

2. Reduction or elimination of chronic pain

3. Better sleep and faster to sleep, Normalized melatonin (sleep hormone) and cortisol (stress hormone) levels

4. Protection against potentially health-disturbing environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

5. Lowered stress, more calmness by cooling down the nervous system and stress hormones

6. Normalization of the body's biological rhythms

7. Thinner blood, improved blood pressure and flow

8. Muscle tension and headache relief

9. Lessened hormonal and menstrual symptoms

10. Dramatically faster healing and reduction/prevention of bedsores

11. Reduction/elimination of jet lag

12. Increased energy

13. Accelerated recovery from intense athletic activity

Research indicates that grounding the body affects physiological functioning in a variety of ways. Because of this, we strongly recommend that any individual taking medication to thin the blood, regulate blood sugar, control blood pressure, or to supplement thyroid activity should consult with their doctor before beginning to ground themselves, and then monitor the medication once they start grounding. An adjustment in medication may be necessary.
