"Grounding barefoot is the most underrated health hack.

It’s been shown to reduce cortisol, reduce inflammation, speed wound healing, improve sleep and increase thyroid function.

And it’s entire free.

If this was an invention, it would win the Nobel prize.

This is a big reason why people feel so much better in nature.

On top of this, it’s incredibly calming for your nervous system. Studies show that touching the earth almost instantly deactivates the fight or flight response and promotes parasympathetic healing. The frequency of the earth is also identical to alpha meditative waves, helping you tap into calm and peaceful awareness.

Native Americans had a practice where they’d bury someone in soil for 24 hours to heal them if they were sick. It was remarkably effective.

Nature is the most powerful healer.

Throw away your foot prisons and touch the earth for at least an hour a day."

What is activated charcoal good for?

General uses:
Skin and bowel inflammation, intestinal gas, wounds, skin infections, and poisoning.

Note for internal use:
1. If drinking charcoal water, it is best to do it at least two hours after a meal, or at another time of day not close to meal times, such as an hour or two before bedtime. If used too close to meals, the charcoal can absorb nutrients from your food.
2. If you take medications, be aware that charcoal can reduce or neutralize the effectiveness of medications.

How to use charcoal for:

inflammation (swelling) and pain from bruising: 
Use a poultice applied with cold water. (Note: Rubbing the juice of a freshly sliced onion over a fresh bruise will help reduce swelling also)

wounds and skin infections: 
Do not put charcoal into open wounds. Use a poultice over it.
boils: Use a poultice.

intenstinal gas: 
Put a spoonful of activated charcoal in a half glass of water, stir, and drink. Then drink another glass of water.

diarrhea: 
See instructions for intestinal gas.

bowel inflammation: 
Put activated charcoal into cold water and allow the sediment to sink to the bottom. Drink the charcoal (slurry) water. You can also place a poultice of charcoal over bowels and stomach, or do hot/cold water treatment over bowels using a poultice bag filled with charcoal and dipped in hot water.

eye inflammation: 
use a poultice with hot or cold water as best suits the case

some forms of indigestion: 
stir a little charcoal into olive oil. This will cleanse and heal. I’m not sure how this one works. But it seems that you could take a spoonful of it to soothe your stomach.

severe pain: 
Use a poultice. If you have access to Smartweed, you can boil it in water then dip the poultice in it, and apply it to the area of pain.

snake bites, sting of reptiles and poisonous insects: 
Use a poultice of charcoal mixed with flaxseed. Place it on the swollen area for relief and to take away the harmful effect.

poisons and toxins: 
Drink charcoal water.
“It is pure carbon and will adsorb (not absorb, but bind with) 29 of the 30 most dangerous poisons, thus neutralizing them. …Internally, charcoal cannot adsorb all poisons, but it can bind with, and thus neutralize many of them. …In any type of acute poisoning, the best thing to do is induce vomiting, followed with a large dose of activated charcoal, diluted in water, to render most substances harmless. Usually 30-60 grams (about 1/2 cup) is needed, suspended in water and taken as soon as possible after the injection of any toxin.” The Natural Remedies Encyclopedia, p. 152.

Some toxins it can adsorb (or bind with and neutralize): many medicinal drugs including aspirin, barbiturates, cocaine, nicotine, morphine, and penicillin. Inorganic chemicals including mercury, chlorine, iron, lead, and silver.
