Earthing/Grounding - Reconnect to Mother Nature to restore and Maintain Health

Rae from Rangiora

Hello Neighbours
I am totally in love with Earthing/Grounding. "WHY"? I hear your ask, well I will tell you.
Grounding is a practice whereby individuals are put in direct contact with the surface of the Earth. It includes walking barefoot outdoors, swimming in the oceans and lakes or sleeping, working and relaxing indoors with bare skin in contact with conductive mats, pillows etc, in order to maintain the body at Earths electric potential.
(I have a grounding mat under my bare feet while at my computer)

The earths negative electric surface charge is virtually limitless reservoir of free electrons that is constantly replenished by the global atmospheric electric circuit. The Earthing hypothesis states that when direct skin contact is made with the Earths surface or a ground system indoors, the body's electric potential equalises with the Earths potential thereby maintaining the body's access to the earths negative surface charge (electrons). This contact prevents build-up of static electric charge on the body and allows the body to store a supply of electrons.

Published research indicates that grounding yields a broad array of intriguing positive changes within the physiology and bioelectrical construct of the body. Multiple reported benefits include the following.

Improved sleep, decreased pain, a normalising effect on cortisol, reduction of stress, diminished damage to muscles caused by delayed onset of muscle soreness, lessening indicators of osteoporosis, and improved thyroid function, glucose regulation, immune response, and blood fluidity. WOW!

But what I want to show you today is the benefits that grounding has on our face! Increased blood flow to the face is seen as a major natural way to rejuvenate the skin of the face. A study was done on grounded and ungrounded subjects at BioMed IRB of San Diego.

“The results demonstrate, for the first time, that even one-hour contact with the earth restores blood flow regulation to the face that may enhance skin tissue repair, health and vitality, and optimise facial appearance, which may also have broad implications for overall cardiovascular function and health.”

If there are improvements on the exterior while you ground, it’s because there are improvements to the interior.

Every day is Earth Day!

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post and we'll post the answer in the comments below at 2pm on the day!
