Jhansi: These days, the name “grounding” or “earthing” is being heard a lot on social media, which is said to have health and energy related benefits. There is a debate among people about what is right and wrong regarding “grounding” or “earthing”. Some say it is a traditional process and some say it is proof of unscientific nature. After all, what is this “grounding”? And does the body really get electrical energy from it? Physiotherapy expert Dr. Satyendra Singh has given detailed information on this mysterious concept.
Dr. Satyendra Singh told 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 Earth’s surface contains negatively charged electrons, which help neutralize free radicals in the body.
How does grounding work?
Dr. Satyendra Singh told that the principle of grounding is that when we come in direct contact with the earth, the electrical system of our body gets balanced. The Earth’s surface naturally contains electrons, and when we come in contact with it, these electrons can neutralize free radicals in our body, reducing inflammation and improving health.
Do we really get electric energy?
According to Dr. Satyendra Singh, “Grounding does not directly provide any electrical energy to the body, as happens in appliances, but it is true that by being connected to the earth, the electrical charge present in the body gets balanced, which helps in mental And physical stress is reduced. 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 possible benefits of grounding. Grounding regularly reduces mental stress and anxiety. The quality of sleep may 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 needed on the results of these research so that it can be scientifically confirmed.
Scientific evidence for this process is limited
Dr. Singh says, “Grounding is a natural process, which connects us to the earth. Even though scientific evidence regarding this is limited, there is no harm in adopting it. This process can be helpful in bringing us closer to nature and giving mental peace.
