The Many Proven Benefits of Earthing

The purpose of chiropractic is to improve the function of the nervous system.  Many other lifestyle habits are also essential.  Earthing is one of the most overlooked and beneficial, yet simple steps you can also take to maximize the efficiency of your nervous system.  All you have to do is be in direct contract with the Earth, without shoes, for 30-45 minutes per day.  With our lives revolving around technology, simply being in contact with the Earth seems too simple to have any major benefits.  However, these benefits have been verified by published studies.  According to the Earthing Institute: 

To date, we've performed over 20 peer-reviewed studies that show the positive effects of grounding the human body.  In one example, doctors at the Pennsylvania State University Children's Hospital in Hershey reported that grounding produced immediate and significant improvements in measurements of the autonomic nervous system, the function of the vagus nerve, and improved measures in heart rate variability.  The vagus nerve is the main nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is vital for keeping our bodies healthy, and free from disease by regulating our immune systems, controlling stress levels, and reducing inflammation.  In addition, the offshoots of the vagus nerve supplies and regulates key organs, including the stomach, lungs, heart, spleen, intestines, liver, and kidneys.  Take a minute to check out all systems that being grounded helps, which we now know after 20 years of research:
