What is Earthing?
Earthing, technically, involves direct skin contact with the Earth for electrical coupling.
This connection was constant for humans throughout history until the widespread adoption of non-conductive shoes.

Chronic pain indicates inflammation, a slow-burning fire oxidizing body tissue.
Grounding provides free electrons, extinguishing this inflammation and relieving pain.

An enormous array of health and performance problems can be distilled into one word - disconnection. Mental health distress is usually a disconnection from our purposes and community.
A disease like cancer has been described as a malady of separation. Diabetes is a disconnection from natural foods. And at a higher level, all of these are disconnections from the Earth. Which is why earthing or grounding is such a fascinating health philosophy, and one I explore in this episode with a true elder of the earthing movement, Clint Ober.
For more than 20 years, Earthing pioneer Clint Ober has dedicated his life to improving the health of everyone on earth. In 1998, after a successful career grounding systems in the cable television industry, he began investigating the potential to improve human health with grounding.
Today, he is the founder of Earth FX Inc., a grounding research and development company based in California through which he helped to develop, and patent, the first indoor Earthing products.
