Earthing: The Remarkably Simple Way to Support Your Health

Have you ever felt a deep sense of calm after walking barefoot on the grass or dipping your toes in a lake? That soothing feeling isn’t just a mental shift—it’s a physiological response known as earthing. Also called grounding, this practice involves making direct contact with the Earth’s surface, allowing your body to absorb electrons that reduce inflammation, ease stress, and promote healing. In this blog, physiotherapist and yoga therapist Kim Deschamps explores how this simple, natural practice supports hormonal balance, improves sleep, boosts energy, and reconnects us to the healing power beneath our feet. Whether you're curious about the science or ready to kick off your shoes, this article offers an accessible path to better health—one barefoot step at a time.
