Can Earthing Help Adrenal Fatigue?

Recently, I’ve been reading a book that has rocked my world. Maybe it will rock yours too. Don’t be put off by the title. It sounds a little woo, if you know what I mean.

The title is Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever? I mean, come on. Earthing? What does that word mean, anyway? It sounds all hippie and earth-loving, but when I look it up in the dictionary it has more to do with how to cover up roots when you garden than it does with health. And “the most important health discovery ever”? How about some humility?

Only after I read the book’s introduction did I finally put two and two together and realize what the author was talking about: grounding. As in electricity. Now there’s a concept I can wrap my head around.

Here’s the basic premise. For most of human history, we have spent our lives connected to the earth. Not in an intangible woo woo way, but in real life physical proximity. We walked and played barefoot, or we wore shoes with naturally conductive soles like leather — which is as conductive as skin when it gets sweaty from our feet or damp from grass and earth. We gardened for our sustenance, routinely kneeling or handling the earth with our bare hands. We even lived on packed dirt or earthen tile floors. Electro-magnetically speaking, we were “grounded.”

Our bodies carry a naturally positive charge. The earth carries a naturally negative charge. When you put our bodies in contact with the earth, what do you get? The transfer of electricity from positive to negative until a state of neutrality is reached — we are grounded.

Of course, these days, we are hardly, if ever grounded. We wear shoes with rubber soles that don’t conduct electricity. We live in houses that are only grounded in electrical outlets. We drive in insulated cars. We sleep in beds far removed from the earth. Gardening is a hobby few of us take up. Walking barefoot on the earth a luxury even less of us enjoy. We do everything in an un-grounded state. In short, we are rarely, if ever grounded anymore.

ja, men etter det, Kevlin, da har vi en meget god unnskyldning til å ha møkkete bein, hele sommeren :lol:

Vel, vi i Nord Norge blir ikke jorda så veldig lenge...hva i f...skal vi gjøre de resterende 10 månedene i året....:lol:

Er det noen som har prøvd og ev. kan supplere med egenerfaring?

Ååh, dette synes jeg også er interessant! Det er få ganger jeg føler meg så "utlignet" og avslappet som etter å ha gått barbeint langs ei strand, eller jobbet barbent i hagen. Kan selvfølgelig ha noe med at jeg da som regel får store doser med D-vitamin i samme slengen. Blir spennende å høre om noen har erfaring.

Kanskje litt på siden:-) Holdt en del på med yoga og min erfaring er at alle yogaøvelser som karaktiseres som jordende fungerer veldig bra på meg. Gir ro og energi.
Her en link til litt om det: https://web.archive.org/web/20140730...837.html?cat=5
Har ikke prøvd alle øvelsene selv:-)
