Have you heard of Earthing?
I'd seen earthing products advertised and been curious about them for awhile. Then I watched the documentary on Gaia and decided it was time...
For anyone wondering, earthing or grounding is a process that promotes healing and decreased inflammation in the body by connecting to the earth's natural healing electromagnetic energy (like walking barefoot on earth or grass). As mentioned elsewhere, I have struggled with chronic pain for many years and am always looking for natural alternatives in pain management. My reading has started leading more and more to issues caused by inflammation, and in addition to dietary changes, earthing seems like a common sense idea due to our increasing disconnection from nature. We are "out of touch" and while I'd recommend everyone take the time to walk barefoot in the grass whenever you have the chance, here are some options to reconnect you where you spend the most time - while you sleep, work and work out :)

A variety of earthing products including earthing bed sheet (universal size); earthing pads for use at your desk or elsewhere; earthing yoga mat (all come complete with cords and US/Canada outlet checker) or purchase a kit for maximum value. Available online in Canada!
The book, "Earthing - The most important health discovery ever! 2nd ed." by Clint Ober et. al contains numerous compelling anecdotes about people who have benefited from earthing for conditions including Lyme disease; Lupus; back pain; Autism; Arthritis; allergies; TMJ and more.
How it works: a wire connected to your sheet, pad or other earthing device is attached to either a rod that is stuck in the earth outside, or the grounding port on a regular electrical outlet. The earth makes an electromagnetic connection through skin contact with the fibres in the earthing product. As mentioned, you are thus connected to the earth in the same way as walking barefoot in the soil or on grass.
My first month of earthing has been inconclusive but I will keep you posted :)
