1. improves quality of sleep + feelings of restfulness upon waking

2. significantly reduces muscle stiffness + chronic pain

3. regulates the secretion of cortisol (stress hormone) so that it adheres to a typical cycle of peaking in the morning and dipping lowest at midnight promoting more restful sleep, regulating blood sugar levels and appetite, and contributing to weight control.

4. balances autonomic nervous system by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system which rules the rest and digest functions of the body, and quieting the sympathetic nervous system which queues the fight or flight response.

5. reduces the severity of the inflammatory response after intense workouts

6. raises heart-rate variability (your hearts ability to response to stimuli and alters the pace of its beating).

7. thins your blood by imparting your red blood cells with a stronger negative electrical charge on their surface improving their ability to repel each other and to flow through the tiny capillaries.

this is very valuable as virtually every aspect of cardiovascular disease has been correlated with thicker, slow flowing blood.

*this blood thinning effect is so profound, that you should consult a doctor if you are taking a blood thinner before grounding regularly

8. feels wonderful to articulate feet, and activate our sense of touch from toes to heels, and to connect with 🌎.

I am willing to wager there are many more additional advantages from skin-to-Earth contact on our holistic health...

Free your feet, boost body-mind state!
