Just as electricity can dissipate when it reaches the ground, something in the human body also changes when it comes in direct physical contact with the earth. Given that the human body relies on electrical signals for communication between cells, the brain, nerves, muscles, and more, it makes sense that contact with the grounding effect of the planet could have a biochemical effect.
Earthing Improved Symptoms in Most Patients Without Complications
Haider Abdul-Lateef Mousa, a researcher at the University of Basrah College of Medicine in Iraq, recruited 71 COVID-19 patients who had tested positive by PCR. The patients were instructed to perform earthing at home for 15 minutes to six hours a day, either by walking barefoot on non-insulated ground or by using earthing accessories to connect their bodies with the Earth.Of the 71 participants, 24 were severely ill, 33 were moderately ill, and 14 were mildly ill. Their symptoms included fever, cough, breathing difficulties, loss of taste and smell, loss of appetite, sore throat, chest pain, headache, body aches, and fatigue.
All patients with mild and moderate symptoms showed significant improvement after one to three days of earthing. For example, a 67-year-old patient with diabetes and moderate symptoms had been experiencing fever, body aches, loss of appetite, and loss of taste and smell during the third week of infection. After performing earthing for two hours per day, he no longer had a fever the next day, and his appetite, taste, and smell returned.
Severely Hypoxic Patient Recovers After 3 Days of Earthing
The most surprising case was a 56-year-old critically ill patient who was hospitalized because of respiratory distress, fever, cough, and hypoxemia (oxygen saturation of 74 percent). Despite receiving various treatments in the hospital, such as antiviral medications, steroids, antibiotics, and plasma antibodies, and using an oxygen machine for a week, he showed no improvement. He chose to discharge himself and return home.After being discharged from the hospital, he continued taking prescription medications and using an oxygen machine. About a week later, his condition worsened to the point that he could no longer speak. When connected to the oxygen machine, his blood oxygen level was found to be only 38 percent. A computed tomography scan showed that his lung lesions had exceeded 70 percent.
As the patient was unable to get out of bed or sit up, his son followed Mousa’s instructions and used earthing accessories on the patient for three hours a day. After two earthing sessions, the patient’s blood oxygen level increased to 95 percent the next day, and even without the use of an oxygen machine, his blood oxygen level remained at 77 percent.
Why Does Earthing Offer Such Powerful Healing Benefits?
The truth is, earthing is a natural state of human existence, according to the authors of “Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!” For thousands of years, humans have been constantly connected to the Earth, whether they are active, resting, or sleeping. In the past, humans used clothing, shoes, blankets, beds, and chairs made from natural materials such as animal fur or plants, which are all semi-conductive substances. This allows the human body to be constantly connected to the Earth.
However, modern humans have become increasingly disconnected from the Earth since the invention of rubber-soled shoes. With the widespread use of synthetic materials, clothing and furniture have become insulators, further exacerbating the disconnection between the human body and the Earth. Experts speculate that this disconnection contributes to various ailments afflicting modern humans.
In his book “The Complete Handbook of Nature Cure,” H. K. Bakhru, a renowned natural therapy expert from India, mentioned an ancient earthing practice that was once common among Native Americans. According to Bakhru, these indigenous peoples firmly believed in the healing power of the Earth. They would bury sick individuals in the soil, leaving only the head exposed, and soak them in this “mud bath” for several hours. They believed that this method could cure a wide range of ailments.
In recent decades, there has been increasing scientific evidence confirming the health benefits of earthing. Studies have found that earthing can significantly enhance the body’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant abilities, improve circulation, and promote physiological functions.
Experts believe that the mechanism behind earthing may be related to the “free electrons” on the surface of the Earth. When the human body is in contact with the Earth, it can absorb these electrons from the ground and store them within the body as “electrical nutrients” that can be used when needed.
When the body is inflamed, these electron troops will be mobilized to neutralize excess free radicals in the body, reducing inflammation and oxidation.
According to Mousa’s study, other studies have shown that earthing can prevent blood clotting, stabilize blood oxygen levels, and boost immunity (by increasing gamma globulin). Mousa pointed out that these effects could be significant for both the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
Earthing Is Simple
Earthing might be the simplest health and wellness practice. It doesn’t require any money, effort, or time, as you can perform it while doing other things.There are two ways to perform earthing:
The authors of “Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!” claim that the benefits of earthing are associated with the duration of earthing. People with chronic inflammatory diseases require even longer periods of earthing. The authors recommend performing earthing every day to maintain good health, both during the day and at night.
