earthing shoes / wear / gear / tips

Walk, stand, and sit barefoot on the ground for a half hour or so. If you have PMS or arthritic pain or a backache or indigestion or jet lag or are just feeling fatigued, go outside (weather permitting, of course) with your bare feet placed directly on the Earth.

We’ve lost our electrical roots, the Earth’s electrical ground that serves as our primordial anti-inflammatory protection.

Notice the way your feet pressing against the coarse ground are also met by that ground, as your skin is probed by the soil and the pliant, bristling blades.

Be barefoot as often as possible. Calluses are nature’s shoes, and they do a far better job of transmitting tactile information to your brain than do shoes.
