Earthing/Grounding - What is it and how can it help you? EarthBound Grounding Nz
Grounding, also known as earthing, is emerging as a powerful, natural therapy that may hold the key to reducing inflammation and enhancing overall well-being.
Research has shown that direct contact with the Earth's natural electric charge can have profound effects on our health, particularly in the fight against inflammatory illnesses.
Best of all, Earthing is free, easy to implement. You can start today by heading outside for 20mins barefoot (if its warm enough for you in your part of NZ😀)
Incorporating the practice of Earthing into your daily health plan makes the biggest impact and the easiest way to get 8+ hours of connection is by far, sleeping on an Earthing mat.
Ground-breaking studies reveal that grounding can:
Reduce Chronic Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is often referred to as “silent inflammation” because it can silently damage tissues and weaken the immune system over time. Grounding helps in neutralizing this silent inflammation, protecting your body from unnecessary harm.
Act as a Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Unlike conventional anti-inflammatory drugs that can have significant side effects, grounding is a non-pharmaceutical option that is free, easy to implement, and enhances quality of life by tapping into the Earth's electrons and the Schumann resonances.
Combat Modern Health Challenges: From cardiovascular diseases to diabetes and even complications from Covid-19, grounding has shown promise in various clinical studies. For instance, grounding has been observed to improve heart rate variability (HRV), reduce blood viscosity, and enhance blood flow, thereby reducing the risk of chronic illnesses.
Support in Covid-19 Recovery: Recent research has highlighted grounding’s potential in alleviating symptoms and complications associated with Covid-19. Patients who grounded themselves either by walking barefoot or using conductive patches saw significant improvements in their symptoms.
Improve Mental and Emotional Well-being: Grounding has also been shown to reduce psychological stress and normalize cortisol levels, which can lead to better sleep, reduced anxiety, and an overall sense of calm and balance.

Proposed Canterbury landfill faces huge opposition
By David Hill, Local Democracy Reporter
More than 500 submissions have been received in response to a proposed managed fill landfill in North Canterbury.
Christchurch-based Protranz International Ltd has applied to Environment Canterbury and the Waimakariri District Council for resource consents to establish and operate a quarry and landfill operation at White Rock.
Waimakariri District Council planning manager Wendy Harris said the applicant was up against ‘‘probably the most organised local group I’ve ever seen’’.
‘‘They organised a protest march, they’ve got signs all around and they’ve got a website and a Facebook page.’’
She said the 548 submissions was more than the 421 submissions to the draft Waimakariri District Plan, which was notified in 2021.
A proposed housing development at Ohoka, near Rangiora, in 2022 received 630 submissions.
While the details of the submissions have yet to be released, it is understood the majority are opposed.
Harris said planners from the two councils will plan joint hearings early next year.
More than 100 people marched from Southbrook in Rangiora to the Waimakariri District Council lawn in High St in September to express their opposition.
Organiser Mike McCaleb said residents are concerned about the potential environmental damage to the Karetu River, which feeds into the Okuku River, and then the Ashley/Rakahuri River.
He said he was surprised there were not more submissions but said he was aware of several people who had issues with Environment Canterbury’s website timing out.
‘‘It will be interesting to see the details of the submissions.’’
Protranz is seeking to restore the Whiterock Quarry, at 150 and 174 Quarry Rd, North Loburn, to near its previous landform, by filling it with managed fill, building and demolition waste and contaminated soil material, including asbestos.
The company bought Whiterock Quarry in 2022 with plans to fill it with soils and inert construction rubble removed from building and land development sites in Christchurch and North Canterbury, which are sent to Kate Valley Landfill.
‘‘Sending this stuff to Kate Valley adds a massive cost to developers, homeowners and community organisations who have dirt to move, and fills Kate Valley with material that can be better managed somewhere else,’’ Protranz founder Gerard Daldry said.
He said Protranz commissioned a wide range of testing including site investigations, technical assessments and design of the managed fill to support the resource consent applications.
The reports found environmental risks were ‘‘extremely low and able to be mitigated’’, Daldry said.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
