Grounding and Inflammation
-
Scientists have observed that grounding can influence inflammation and immune responses. A study published in The Journal of Environmental and Public Health highlights measurable reductions in inflammatory markers, such as cytokines, in grounded individuals. The researchers also hypothesize anti-aging effects due to the delivery of antioxidant electrons through the body’s semiconducting collagen matrix.
