Earthing: the Most Important Health Discovery Ever?

I’ve been meaning for a while now to let everyone know about a book I read a few months back. Forgive me if I’ve already told you about it. The book is called Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever?, by Clinton Ober, Stephen Sinatra MD, and Martin Zucker. (see link below)

The premise of this book is really quite simple, and that’s one of the reasons I like it so much. The authors have discovered that when the human body is directly touching the earth, there is a subtle flow of electrons that enter the body. And these electrons seem to have amazing healing properties. They have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which is the cause of most physical woes humans experience. And that’s just the beginning. Earthing has been linked to:

• 

  Physically touching the earth with your bare feet has been shown to have incredible health benefits.

  reducing inflammation

• quicker recovery for athletes
• calming overactive minds
• aiding in weight loss
• improving blood sugar disorders (diabetes)
• reseting the biological clock from jet lag
• easing multiple sclerosis symptoms
• improving back and sciatic pain
• sleep apnea stress
• increased circulation and reduced vericose veins
• providing protection from EMF’s (electromagnetic fields)

If this sounds intriguing to you, then you should definitely check out this book. It’s a quick and easy read. It may seem overly simple, but something about it just makes perfect sense. Why wouldn’t the Earth help heal us when we are in direct contact with it? It helps explain scientifically why walking barefoot on the beach is SO therapeutic. So if you haven’t done this in a while, I highly recommend it!

Try touching the earth with your bare feet for 20 minutes per day and see how it affects your health. I welcome your comments and feedback!

Changing seasons are a great time to come in for a immune-boosting tune-up. Acupuncture helps ease the transition and facilitates the body’s adaptation to the changing weather. I hope you are well and look forward to seeing you soon.
