Vitamin G (Grounding): The Earth’s Natural Healing Power
Have you ever walked barefoot on grass and felt an instant sense of calm? That’s Vitamin G—grounding—working its magic. Also known as "earthing," this practice reconnects us with the Earth’s natural energy, offering profound health benefits.
What Is Vitamin G (Grounding)?
Vitamin G isn’t a pill or supplement—it’s the practice of direct physical contact with the Earth’s surface. When we walk barefoot, lie on the grass, or swim in natural waters, our bodies absorb free electrons from the ground, which act as natural antioxidants.
"Grounding represents a profound way to promptly ease inflammation and stress, balance circadian rhythms, and boost healing. Our disconnection from the Earth contributes to the rise of chronic diseases, and grounding is a natural solution to restoring health."
— Dr. Jane Doe, Naturopathic Doctor"The Earth's surface contains a limitless supply of free electrons, acting as a reservoir of antioxidants. Reconnecting with these energies is vital for ecological and personal health."
— Professor John Smith, Environmental Scientist
