Throughout human history, we as humans have been connected to the Earth. This bond to the ground
extends to all terrestrial and aquatic creatures. However, in the last century, our connection to the Earth has gradually eroded with the widespread adoption of rubber-soled shoes. This raises a crucial question: What are the consequences of this disconnection from the Earth's natural grounding?
Increasingly, research is pointing to the adverse effects of our detachment from the Earth. A
substantial body of evidence from diverse studies underscores the detrimental impact on human health, while also highlighting the potential benefits of re-establishing this vital connection.
