THE HEALING WONDERS OF EARTHING AND HOW IT HAS HELPED ME WITH MY PERIMENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS (Part 1)

The healing wonders of earthing and how it helps with perimenopausal symptoms.

There's something truly magical about connecting with the Earth. The feeling of warm sand beneath your toes, the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore, or the simple act of walking barefoot on grass can bring an inexplicable sense of calm and serenity. But did you know that this connection with the Earth, also known as earthing or grounding, has scientifically proven healing wonders? As someone who has personally experienced the transformative effects of earthing, I can attest to its remarkable benefits.

Like many other women who are transitioning into menopause, I experienced a plethora of symptoms. That feeling where I’m short for words how to describe it as they’re alien feelings. It often left me feeling stressed, anxious, and disconnected. 

So my quest for healing leads me to try various non-conventional ways. I veered away from Hormone Replace Therapy and I thought this is just a phase and I don’t want synthetic stuff being put into my body with no guarantee of wellness. 

My only choice is to go natural. 

Then I stumbled upon the benefits of earthing or grounding.

So what is earthing or grounding?

Earthing is the practice of physically connecting your body to the Earth's natural electrical charge by walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil, or by using conductive products that replicate the Earth's surface. The Earth is an abundant source of free electrons, which are negatively charged particles that act as powerful antioxidants, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals in our bodies that are linked to inflammation, chronic pain, and various health issues.

These are not woo-woo stuff. There are various scientific pieces of evidence that were conducted supporting the potency of this practice. You may go ahead and Google it.

Since then, I have incorporated earthing into my daily routine, and the benefits have been profound. One of the most noticeable changes has been a significant reduction in my stress and anxiety levels. The simple act of taking off my shoes and walking barefoot on grass or sand has become a powerful tool to reset my nervous system and restore a sense of calm. Studies have shown that earthing can lower cortisol levels, the stress hormone, and promote better sleep, which further enhances our body's natural healing processes.

But earthing is not just about reducing stress. It has also been shown to have a positive impact on our physical health. Many chronic conditions, such as inflammation, and pain, have been linked to an excess of positively charged particles in the body. Earthing helps to neutralize these particles by providing a direct source of negatively charged electrons, which act as powerful antioxidants to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Personally, I have experienced a significant improvement in my chronic back pain, and many others have reported similar benefits for conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and even cardiovascular health.

Beyond the physical and mental health benefits, earthing has also deepened my connection with nature and the world around me. It has reminded me of the incredible beauty and wisdom of the Earth, and how we are intrinsically interconnected with all living beings. It has fostered a sense of gratitude and reverence for our planet, and a desire to protect and cherish it for future generations.

Please come check my blog from time to time as I am coming up with an article specifically on how earthing has helped me with the quality of my sleep and my DIY earthing tools.

In conclusion, the healing wonders of earthing are undeniable. Connecting with the Earth's natural electrical charge through the simple act of walking barefoot or using conductive products can have profound effects on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. As someone who has experienced the transformative power of earthing firsthand, I encourage you to give it a try. Take off your shoes, step outside, and let the Earth's gentle embrace work its magic. You may just find yourself on a journey of healing, connection, and wonder that will leave you forever changed.
