Do you believe earthing is a legitimately beneficial wellness practice?

I don't go barefoot myself, but my boyfriend goes barefoot everywhere, and we both agree that he's healthier for it.
I doubt the electromagnetic theory behind 'earthing', though, and so does he.

It certainly is beneficial, though I have my doubts whether it's the contact with the earth that's helpful. It could also just be the focusing on something simple where the relaxation and clarity comes from. That's actually more likely imo. But if being barefoot and outside helps with that, it could be a bit of both.

We all used to be barefoot...
Later, our shoes were very close to earth, we were.

Now, we have to suffer through concrete and other first world crp, we are so far removed from nature, it is a crying same.

And it IS affecting us, in ways we can't even imagine or measure.

Going barefoot has definitely improved my mental and physical health over the years. But it's a personal thing and I don't need to create a philosophy or try to monetise it 👣🙂

I’ve read a little of the research. I have a work colleague that swears by it.

I don't know anything about it but i heard touching earth/dirt makes people happy and also i follow this one barefoot dude on YouTube and he seems super happy all the time 😅

It's a wicca practice if you are referring to the same thing.

Also called grounding.

All I know is walking barefoot in my yard relaxes me.

I believe so.

For me? No. The very thought sickens me. My feet feel uncomfortable and always have while bare on earth.

No. As a diabetic, being barefoot anywhere at any time poses a serious health risk.

Believe whatever you want to believe I guess. All I see from that is dirty feet and maybe an injury.
