Grounding also called earthing, is a technique people use to connect their physical bodies to the earth's electrical energy. Planet Earth has a negative electric charge. Scientists believe that there is a transfer of free electrons to the human body during grounding.

The human body requires a constant source of negatively charged electrons in order to neutralise and prevent an excessive build-up of positively charged free radicals.  Without a regular supply of these electrons, the cells in our body are unable to balance the positive charge.  This can cause there to be too much positive charge, leading to an unhealthy build-up of free radicals in the body, which starts to create free radical damage, oxidative stress and inflammation.

The Benefits of Grounding

Some health benefits of grounding that have been studied include:

• Improved mood
• Increased heart rate variability
• Improved blood flow
• Improved immune system function (particularly the concentrations of white blood cells and cytokines)
• Reduced post-exertion muscle soreness
• Reduced pain
• Improved sleep quality (deeper and more restorative sleep)
• Boosted metabolic rate
• Reduced inflammation
• Reduced autoimmune signalling
• Disease prevention (particularly inflammatory and autoimmune conditions)
• Reduced stress
• Improved wound healing
• Improved physical function and energy
• Decreased fatigue and tiredness
