Abstract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Environmental medicine generally addresses environmental factors with a negative impact on human health. However, emerging scientific research has revealed a surprisingly positive and overlooked environmental factor on health: direct physical contact with the vast supply of electrons on the surface of the Earth. Modern lifestyle separates humans from such contact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research suggests that this disconnect may be a major contributor to physiological dysfunction and unwellness. Reconnection with the Earth’s electrons has been found to promote intriguing physiological changes and subjective reports of well-being. Earthing (or grounding) refers to the discovery of benefits\u2014including better sleep and reduced pain\u2014from walking barefoot outside or sitting, working, or sleeping indoors connected to conductive systems that transfer the Earth’s electrons from the ground into the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This paper reviews the earthing research and the potential of earthing as a simple and easily accessed global modality of significant clinical importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

De Flora et al. wrote the following: \u201cSince the late 20th century, chronic degenerative diseases have overcome infectious disease as the major causes of death in the 21st century, so an increase in human longevity will depend on finding an intervention that inhibits the development of these diseases and slows their progress\u201d [33<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could such an intervention be located right beneath our feet? Earthing research, observations, and related theories raise an intriguing possibility about the Earth’s surface electrons as an untapped health resource\u2014the Earth as a \u201cglobal treatment table.\u201d Emerging evidence shows that contact with the Earth\u2014whether being outside barefoot or indoors connected to grounded conductive systems\u2014may be a simple, natural, and yet profoundly effective environmental strategy against chronic stress, ANS dysfunction, inflammation, pain, poor sleep, disturbed HRV, hypercoagulable blood, and many common health disorders, including cardiovascular disease. The research done to date supports the concept that grounding or earthing the human body may be an essential element in the health equation along with sunshine, clean air and water, nutritious food, and physical activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
