The study proved that “a simple contact of the feet with the earth’s surface can help treat issues such as pain, ANS dysfunction, poor sleep, hypercoagulable blood, inflammation, disturbed HRV, and many other health issues, including cardiovascular diseases. It was also found that earthing along with clean air, sunshine, exercise and good food can lead to the well-being of the human body and mind. A different study found that during exercise earthing affects the metabolism of the proteins which leads to a positive balance of the nitrogen. It was also found that earthing of the human body enhances facial blood flow regulation. Earthing is also said to reduce blood viscosity which leads to cardiovascular diseases. Yet another study found that earthing may be the basic factor that regulates the nervous and endocrine system.
