Is Earthing the Key to Combating Chronic Diseases?

Australia: Rising Chronic Diseases Prompt Exploration of Earthing Techniques Chronic diseases are on the rise in Australia, prompting some to explore alternative health solutions. A recent video by Australian wellness influencer, down_to_ground, promotes "grounding" or earthing as a method to reduce inflammation and improve health. Grounding involves direct skin contact with the earth, and the video presents thermal imaging to illustrate the supposed effects. "Inflammation is on the rise," says down_to_ground, "and our bodies aren't functioning like they should." He advocates for grounding as a way to reconnect with the earth and improve health outcomes. While the video's claims require further scientific scrutiny, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is a serious concern. Further research into alternative and complementary therapies like earthing is warranted to explore their potential benefits.
