Earthing
For circadian and autonomic nervous system support
The experts we follow agree on this.
Earthing can help restore balance and support mitochondrial function in daily life.
Who is behind it
Voices including a board-certified cardiologist, a clinical nutritionist and a licensed naturopathic physician.
How strong the research is
Mostly expert experience so far, with published research still catching up.
In their words
“Earthing generates immediate changes in EEGs, so brain wave activity... allowing their nervous system to come back into balance.”
a clinical nutritionist
Connecting to the earth provides free electrons that help charge mitochondria and reduce hunger.
Earthing discharges noise built up indoors and restores autonomic nervous system rhythmic balance within seconds.
Earthing outdoors provides grounding benefits and circadian rhythm benefits through natural light exposure and soft focus on nature.
Grounding by putting feet on the earth is recommended to help cope with electromagnetic changes during solar flares.
