Grounding (Earthing) and Vagal Tone

There is an all-natural, global electrical circuit which encompasses the earth and and all living things on the earth — plants and animals. This energy grid is comprised of direct current (DC), the natural energy of the entire universe. DC is different from our idea of energy, manmade alternating current (AC) which powers our world. Instead, the natural world runs off of a DC energy, a direct current (DC) that syncs all conductive elements of the earth and life on earth together into one flowing circuit of energy

The Carnegie curve is a daily pattern that describes how the Earth’s atmospheric electrical current varies. It’s named after the Carnegie Institution of Washington, which conducted the original measurements that led to its discovery.
The Carnegie curve was discovered by measuring the atmospheric electric potential gradient (PG) on the Carnegie, a floating observatory that sailed the world from 1915 to 1929
The measurements showed that the PG variation followed a single diurnal cycle, which was the same all over the world

Abstract
The Earth’s fair weather atmospheric electric field shows, in clean air, an average daily variation which follows universal time, globally independent of the measurement position. This single diurnal cycle variation (maximum around 19UT and minimum around 03UT) is widely known as the Carnegie curve, after the geophysical survey vessel of the Carnegie Institution of Washington on which the original measurement campaigns demonstrating the universal time variation were undertaken. The Carnegie curve’s enduring importance is in providing a reference variation against which atmospheric electricity measurements are still compared; it is believed to originate from regular daily variations in atmospheric electrification associated with the different global disturbed weather regions. Details of the instrumentation, measurement principles and data obtained on the Carnegie’s seventh and final cruise are reviewed here, also deriving new harmonic coefficients allowing calculation of the Carnegie curve for different seasons. The additional harmonic analysis now identifies changes in the phasing of the maximum and minimum in the Carnegie curve, which shows a systematic seasonal variation, linked to the solstices and equinoxes, respectively.

The 2017 study Electrical grounding improves vagal tones in preterm infants showed that grounding of preterm infants produced a significant increase in vagal tone and that vagal tone returned to pre-grounding level when grounding was discontinued. Electric fields produced by equipment in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) induce an electric potential measurable on the skin.

An electrical connection to ground reduces the skin potential and improves vagal tone in adults.

Equipment in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) generates electric fields. In 2008, C. Bellieni, along with other researchers, discovered that vagal tone in preterm infants improved when their incubators were switched off. Low vagal tone is a marker of vulnerability to stress in preterm infants.

EG improves VT and may improve resilience to stress and lower the risk of neonatal morbidity in preterm infants.

In addition, vagal tone gets a boost when the body is grounded, and this in turn is a direct avenue for grounding to impact digestion, as our entire digestive tract is driven by the vagus nerve, everything from our salivary glands to our swallowing mechanism to gut peristalsis and even digestive enzyme secretion is guided by vagus nerve function. On top of all of this, walking boosts gut motility, so consider taking 10 min to walk grounded after a meal to help boost gut peristalsis naturally, which will encourage healthy bowel movements and decrease bloating, indigestion and constipation.
