Grounding (also know as earthing) refers to making any kind of direct contact with the earth's surface. The earth's surface has a negative charge while our bodies over time build up a positive charge. Direct contact with the earth (grounding) can even out this positive charge and return the body to a neutral state which is important to combat health problems. Our busy lives make it difficult for our feet to make actual contact with the earth's surface. However, by using one of our earthing/grounding products you can enjoy the benefits of being grounded by simply plugging in to the grounded prong socket of any grounded electrical outlet in your house, office, apartment, etc.! Emerging research shows that grounding may be beneficial in: Neutralizing Free Radicals, Improving Blood Circulation, Reducing Inflammation, Improving Sleep, Helping to Manage Pain, Reducing Stress by normalizing cortisol (a stress hormone), Improving Immunity, Protecting the body from the effects of EMF's, and more.
