7. Grounding vs. Earthing - What's the difference, the benefits and how to actually do it.

Tower Healing

Find out WHY I am recommending Earthing to nearly everyone I talk to!
If you've been wondering what Earthing and Grounding are, I've got some answers for you. I recently came across the book "Earthing: The most important health discovery ever!" by Clinton Ober and it significantly cleared things up for me.
Here we talk about what the differences are between the two, the alternative medicine approach versus grounding by connecting to the earth (ideally through the K1 point in your foot, "growing a root" and the idea of Earth Qi). Specifically, we talk about how Earth's electrons are the best antioxidant to reduce inflammation for a modern world struggling with chronic inflammation and the conditions it may lead to.
Note: I am not a medical professional and you should go to your health care practitioner for any medical changes. If you are on blood thinning medication, talk to your doctor first as there is evidence that grounding/earthing has a blood thinning effect.
