Research suggest the following benefits:
- Provides your body with abundant electrons from the Earth.
- Major impact
on the inflammatory process as a result of this electron transfer.
- Our bodies need an abundant supply of negative charges, a regular supply of electrons from the earth can supply this.
- A variety of measures of physiological stress show that the person who is grounded is less stressed and more relaxed. These measures demonstrate a shift from sympathetic to parasympathetic activation, reduction in muscle
tension, and increased heart rate variability.
- Regardless whether or not grounding reduces exposure to environmental fields, studies firmly demonstrate that Earthing does not stress the body; in fact, Earthing reduces every measure of stress used in studies.
Can't hurt to try it right?

and definitely notice feeling more relaxed. Especially after a day with my face in a laptop.
We all know the 'ahhhh' feeling when we take our shoes off in the grass or warm sand. Also, have you every noticed how relaxed you get when camping and sleeping close to the ground?
Having an open mind to new concepts is a very important step in your health
journey.
3 years ago you would never have got me to got to a Bikram Yoga session. I had my first one a few days after writing this!
