EARTHING

Getting ourselves closer to the earth is a simple way to feel more grounded and relaxed.

Forest Foraging, Earthing, and Feeling the Negative Ions

Dr. Michele Burklund May 6, 2019

GO BAREFOOT

We are made up of 60% water which makes us great for conducting electricity.  The earth has a negative ionic charge and when we go barefoot are bodies are able to ground that charge.  Negative ions are proven to detoxify, calm, reduce inflammation, and even synchronize our internal clocks, hormonal cycles, and physiological rhythms. Next time you are outside take off your shoes and embrace nature!

RELAX UNDER A WATERFALL

Visiting a waterfall is a cleansing experience for the mind & the body by the sheer beauty of being there are also through the invigorating ions.  The also waterfall creates negative ions which once they reach the bloodstream, are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.

Negative ions are generated by moving water so get out the beach, go on a hike next to a river, or swim under a waterfall.

GET DIRTY

Mud is rich in minerals and great at detoxifying your body, cover yourself in a light paste and wash off when it has dried.  The most important part is to find quality mud either from a hot spring or mud that comes from a glacier for the highest purity.

FORAGE

Find blackberries, huckleberries, salmonberries, wild spinach, sea beans, and gray morales.
