Earthing and Heart Health – How Does the Earth Affect Our Heart?
Did you know that walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil can support heart function?
More and more research and user testimonials indicate that grounding—direct contact of the body with the Earth’s surface—has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system.
Heart rhythm, or pulse, can be disrupted by stress, fatigue, or excessive activity. Grounding helps stabilize this rhythm, supporting the heart’s function. Through contact with the Earth, our body absorbs free electrons, which influence the body's electrical balance. As a result, the heart rate has a chance to calm down, and its function becomes more regular and stable.
Healthy blood circulation is key to well-being and proper heart function.
Grounding can improve blood flow, reducing tension and stress, which lowers blood pressure and eases the workload on the heart. Regular grounding supports the circulatory system, reducing the risk of hypertension and coronary heart disease.
How to start grounding for heart health?
Getting started with grounding is easy and accessible for everyone:
-
Barefoot walking – the simplest way to experience grounding. Just 15–30 minutes a day walking on grass, sand, or soil is enough.
-
Grounding mats and accessories – a perfect solution for those who spend most of their time indoors. Grounding mats allow you to enjoy the benefits of grounding regardless of the weather or location.
