This is going to sound weird to some people, but electricity can lower inflammation and lengthen your life.
Sounds odd, right? But it’s true.
And you can use it to your advantage with earthing.
You may have also heard it called “grounding.”
Earthing and grounding are the same thing,
I’ve been sleeping grounded to the earth for a long time.
In this study gives me additional reasons to continue doing so:
Grounding or earthing is being connected to the earth.
We already ground electronics.
Every house in the United States on the electric grid are grounded.
Grounding is necessary because the earth is a giant reservoir of electrons.
And it can accept or donate as many electrons as necessary.
What this usually means for us is that grounding keeps us from getting shocked.

But it turns out that grounding may be vital for health.
We are designed to walk around barefoot on the earth, so we are designed to be grounded all the time.
But in today’s lifestyle, we walk on the floor, and there’s no electrical grounding at all.
We wear shoes even when we are outside.
So, how important can it be to walk barefoot outside?
Is it possible that the lack of grounding may account for many modern diseases?
Study literature is are full of case studies and photographs like this:
As the researchers explain, grounding seems to
improve sleep, normalize the day–night cortisol rhythm, reduce pain, reduce stress, shift the autonomic nervous system from sympathetic toward parasympathetic activation, increase heart rate variability, speed wound healing, and reduce blood viscosity.
Note that these are all effects that can be measured.
And they have been measured in studies in the laboratory.
Also, realize that these are major research universities doing this research — and not nut jobs.
There was a major study that showed that people sleeping on a grounded mattress had lower stress hormones.
They experienced a fall in cortisol levels that was striking.
Their cortisol profiles normalized, and most of the subjects reported that their sleep improved and their pain and stress levels declined.
There was also a very well-designed study where people performed difficult physical exercise until they became sore.
The first half of the subjects received grounding pads.
Researchers gave the half false grounding pads or pads that were attached to wires but not actually grounded.
The grounded subjects experienced less pain, as revealed with both the analog soreness scale.
This study showed that grounding can reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
Another study shows that inflammatory white blood cells decline with grounding.
And they do it quickly:
This and many other studies demonstrate that grounding every day or as often as you is hugely beneficial.
It can reduce inflammation and improve health dramatically.
Walking barefoot outside is often just as good, but many of us can’t do it very much or at all.
But they can still ground for health.
You can sleep grounded.
And you can work grounded, but you have to be careful.
Because if you’re grounded, and you touch a high-voltage appliance, you can electrocute yourself.
Most computers nowadays are all low-voltage, so this is not generally a problem.
It’s pretty safe, but you do have to have an idea of what you’re doing.
The good news is that it’s simple to get started.
It’s easy to purchase grounded pads, ground rubber mats, and even grounded sheets if you want to sleep grounded.
And you can get an inexpensive tester to show that you are indeed grounded.
Every modern electrical outlet in the United States has three prongs — the bottom prong is the ground.
There are cables and adapters that can connect to these.
And they connect to your mats and sheets to give you a good grounding experience.
There certainly reason to ground yourself and spend as much time as possible grounded to the earth.
