Benefits of Grounding
Let’s get into the evidence-based benefits of grounding
1) Reduces inflammation
We know that ninety percent of all of our chronic health conditions are linked to excessive or persistent inflammation. Grounding is one of the simplest ways to address that.
2) Decreases pain
3) Decreases stress response
It can help shift us from our sympathetic state to our parasympathetic state in our autonomic nervous system
4) Increases heart rate variability
The higher our heart rate variability is, the interbeat between the heartbeats, the better the function of our autonomic nervous system. This can be associated with better recovery, better emotional resilience, and overall well-being.
5) Improves sleep
6) Improves cortisol rhythm
Cortisol is one of our key stress hormones.
7) Improves wound healing
Grounding can be a great thing to include in an integrative approach to healing.
8) Reduces blood viscosity
This can be one of the best things you can do for reducing your cardiovascular risk.
