Jhansi: These days, the name of “grounding” or “earthing” is being heard a lot on social media, which is said to have health and energy benefits. There is a debate among people about the right and wrong of “grounding” or “earthing”. Some say it is a traditional process, while others say it is proof of unscientificity. What is this “grounding” after all? And does it really provide electric energy to the body? Physiotherapy expert Dr. Satyendra Singh has given detailed information on this mysterious concept.
Dr. Satyendra Singh said that grounding or earthing is a process in which a person connects his body directly to the earth. This means that the person walks barefoot on grass, soil, sand, or pebbles or sits in contact with the earth. This process is based on the idea that the surface of the earth has negatively charged electrons, which help in neutralizing the free radicals of the body.
How does grounding work?
Dr. Satyendra Singh explained that the principle of grounding is that when we come in direct contact with the earth, our body’s electrical system comes into balance. The earth’s surface naturally contains electrons, and when we come in contact with it, these electrons can neutralize the free radicals in our body, thereby reducing inflammation and improving health.
Do we really get electric energy?
According to Dr. Satyendra Singh, “Grounding does not directly provide any electric energy to the body, as is the case with devices, but it is true that being connected to the earth balances the electrical charge present in the body, which reduces mental and physical stress. This process can be helpful in increasing the natural energy flow in the body.
What are the benefits of grounding?
According to Dr. Satyendra Singh, there are many potential benefits of grounding. Regular grounding reduces mental stress and anxiety. Sleep quality can improve. The flow of electrons in the body during grounding can reduce inflammation. The flow of natural energy in the body increases, which can reduce fatigue and sadness. Science has paid attention to grounding through some studies. Some research has found that grounding can reduce inflammation in the body and improve sleep. However, more studies are still needed on the results of these research so that it can be scientifically confirmed.
Scientific evidence of this process is limited
Dr. Singh says, “Grounding is a natural process that connects us to the earth. Even though scientific evidence about it is limited, there is no harm in adopting it. This process can help in bringing us closer to nature and giving us mental peace.
