Earthing and Heart Health – How Does the Earth Affect Our Heart?
Did you know that walking barefoot on grass, sand, or dirt can help your heart? More and more research and user reviews indicate that grounding—body contact with the ground—has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system.
The heart rhythm, or pulse, can be disrupted by stress, fatigue, or overactivity. Earthing helps stabilize this rhythm, supporting the heart. Through contact with the earth, our body absorbs free electrons, which affect the body's electrical balance. As a result, the heart rhythm has a chance to calm down, and its function becomes more regular and stable.
Healthy blood circulation is key to well-being and healthy heart function. Earthing can improve blood flow, reducing tension and stress, which lowers blood pressure and relieves the heart. Regular earthing supports the circulatory system, reducing the risk of high blood pressure and coronary artery disease.
