Grounding has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood by regulating the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) branches. Grounding promotes parasympathetic activity, helping to balance the autonomic nervous system. This balance leads to lower stress levels, improved mood, and overall better mental health. Studies have indicated that grounding can lead to significant reductions in anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. References: Chevalier, G. (2010).
