Earthing, or grounding, has anti-inflammatory benefits due to its effect on the balance of electrons in the human body. When in direct contact with the Earth, a transfer of electrons from the Earth to the body occurs, which can help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress is a biological process where free radicals, unstable molecules, can cause damage to cells and tissues, contributing to inflammation and various chronic diseases. By receiving electrons from the Earth, the body can balance electron and free radical levels, thus reducing cellular damage and associated inflammation.
