With the wide variety of available shoe styles, colors, and designs, it’s clear that wrapping up the feet has become second nature for most humans. Several studies have shown, however, that the habit of constantly wearing shoes has ungrounded us from one of nature’s natural healing techniques. According to Earthing principles, the ground is naturally charged with negative free electrons, which enter the body when it comes in contact with the earth. These negative free electrons restore the balance of energies in the body by pushing out excess positive electrons, allowing the body to relax better. Aside from recharging the body, Earthing is also said to have positive effects on people suffering from chronic pain, inflammation, blood pressure problems, muscle tension, and even sleeping problems.
