Grounding has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects, primarily by neutralizing free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, proteins, and DNA, leading to chronic inflammation and various diseases. The earth's surface is rich in free electrons, which can transfer to the body upon contact. These electrons act as antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals and thus reducing inflammation. Chronic inflammation is a root cause of many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. By grounding, the body can mitigate this inflammatory response, promoting healing and overall health. References: Chevalier, G., Mori, K., Oschman, J. L., & Sokal, K. (2015).
