How Grounding Supports a Calmer, Less Inflamed Body
Chronic inflammation affects blood flow and tissue temperature. Thermal imaging is often used in research to visualize these changes. Warmer colors typically indicate higher surface temperatures, which can correlate with inflammatory activity. Grounding has been studied for its potential effects on inflammation and circulation. Peer-reviewed research shows:
• Grounding may reduce inflammatory markers.
A 2015 study in the Journal of Inflammation Research reported that grounding can influence inflammatory responses and support the body’s natural recovery processes.
• Grounding can improve blood flow.
Research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that grounding reduces blood viscosity, which helps support healthier circulation.
• Grounding helps calm the nervous system.
Studies show a shift toward parasympathetic activity (the body’s rest-and-recover mode), which is associated with lower stress and more stable physiological function.
In thermal images like these, cooler colors often represent calmer, less inflamed tissue after grounding sessions. While results vary from person to person, current research suggests grounding may help the body regulate inflammation and restore balance naturally.
