Grounding, also known as earthing, refers to the practice of making direct skin contact with the earth’s surface, either through walking barefoot or using grounding equipment such as Carico’s Platinum Collection of mattresses and toppers.
Grounding has a positive impact on health by helping to balance the body’s electrical charge, reducing inflammation, and promoting better sleep.
Scientific studies on the health benefits of grounding suggest that grounding has the following benefits:
- Reducing inflammation: Grounding has been shown to reduce markers of inflammation in the body, which is associated with many chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
- Improving sleep: Some studies suggest that grounding can help to regulate circadian rhythms, leading to improved sleep quality and duration.
- Reducing stress: Grounding has been shown to reduce stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can help to improve mood and overall well-being.
- Improving circulation: Grounding may help to improve blood flow and circulation, which can have a positive impact on cardiovascular health.
While grounding has health benefits, it is part of an overall program to improve your health and well-being and not a substitute for medical treatment or advice.
