It’s no shock the feeling we get after being “in nature” is so amazing; standing 10 minutes outside on bare earth has shown help to reduce cortisol production, chronic inflammation and indicated to have positive effects on blood viscosity. I started integrating this practice into my life over a year ago. When I am feeling absolute crap, kicking off the shoes and walking in the woods is one of the best things you can do. Some of us are privileged more than others to do this. But if possible, if you get out there to even a small patch of grassy area and give Earthing a try.
