Connecting with nature releases feel good chemicals in our brains and actually reduces stress. We were designed to be in nature. Humanity has always had a close relationship with nature until only a couple hundred years ago when we moved from farming to factory working. Our ancestors thrived in nature and it’s what helped get us to become the humans we are today. 

Polluted cities, confined spaces, crowded areas and electronics are all positively charged. But our bodies function better when they come in contact with negative ions.

It’s scientifically proven that negative ions neutralize free radicals, revitalize cell metabolism, enhance immune function, purify the blood and balance the autonomic nervous system, promoting deep sleep and healthy digestion. Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain, resulting in higher alertness and concentration. The most recent scientific research has shown negative ions combat inflammation, cardiovascular disease, muscle damage, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, anxiety and depression.

Our bodies thrive when they come in contact with nature. Walking barefoot for 20 minutes on grass, sand or dirt is often the preferred method of grounding simply because it’s easy to do. But grounding can also be gardening without gloves or taking a nap in the grass. The point is to connect with the ground and allow the earth’s negative ions to cancel out the positive ions we accumulate through daily life.
