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!

Toxic algae

The Team from Environment Canterbury

We've had early reports of toxic algae in some of our awa/rivers. Unfortunately, dogs like to seek out the algae and eat it, causing serious harm.

We monitor water quality at recreation sites over summer for toxic algae, however, site assessments are based on the risk to human health. It is not always possible to observe small amounts of toxic algae that could still be dangerous for dogs.

If you’re ever in doubt about the water quality, then keep your dog on a leash and away from the water’s edge.

It's vital to know what to look for to keep your dogs safe 👉 www.ecan.govt.nz...

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
