SunFlower Spirit Book Club-Earthing by Clinton Ober

Book for August- Earthing by Clinton Ober, Stephen T. Sinatra, & Martin Zucker

Could connecting to the earth's natural electrical energy fundamentally improve our health and well-being? In Earthing, Clinton Ober, Stephen T. Sinatra, and Martin Zucker explore the idea that maintaining a physical connection to the planet's abundant supply of electrons is essential for optimal physiological function and healing.

This book dives into research on the benefits of "Earthing" or "grounding"—practices that enable the human body to establish an electrical link with the earth through direct skin contact or conductive materials. The authors discuss how Earthing may reduce inflammation, improve circulation, aid injury recovery, and contribute to better sleep by influencing the autonomic nervous system's function and the body's bioelectrical balance. They also share personal accounts of enhanced health from Earthing and envision potential societal changes from widespread adoption of this inexpensive, accessible practice.
