Suffer from stress, anxiety, exhaustion, inflammatory diseases, arthritis, chronic pain, and insomnia? The Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine has published numerous studies highlighting the benefits of grounding and connecting with the earth̢۪s natural electrical systems, allowing you to access healing powers naturally. Traditional medicine and nutritional science have long held that harmful free radicals in the human body could be reduced by consuming foods rich in anti-oxidants. Grounding provides similar benefits by using the earth̢۪s abundant negative electrons to bind with and make harmless the positively charged free radicals in your body - reducing inflammation which is the cause of many diseases such as arthritis, MS, etc. Our ancestors were able to ground themselves simply by going barefoot outside. However, many people do not have the time to spend outdoors barefoot. We spend most of our time shielded indoors whether at home, in our cars, or at the office. Synthetic soles on our shoes further insulate us. Grounding sheets and products enable a person to harness the same healing effects even while sleeping! Grounding bands and mats further shield us from harmful EMF radiation emitted from computer screens and cell phones. Athletes who have grounded themselves report that they sleep better, recover faster, their injuries heal faster, and they have less illness. Other claimed benefits of Grounding? Slowing of the aging process, relief of travel lag, helps autoimmune disorders such as Lupus, MS, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. According to the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2004, grounding while sleeping increases melatonin and helps to resynchronize cortisol secretion. Please always consult your physician before using grounding products.
