Years of research have uncovered something fascinating: connecting with the Earth's natural energy, simply by going barefoot on grass, sand, dirt, or rock, can ease chronic pain, fatigue, and various other ailments that affect so many people today. This connection is commonly known as Earthing or Grounding.
In simpler terms, when your bare feet or skin touch the earth, they absorb free electrons into the body. These electrons act like nature's ultimate antioxidants, helping to neutralize harmful excess free radicals that contribute to inflammation and disease in the body. Just as the Earth is a source of free electrons, so too are all living things on the planet, including us. Since our bodies are mostly made up of water and minerals, which are excellent conductors of electrons, direct skin contact or some other conductive channel allows these electrons to flow through us.
