I'me Four Years Into PD (since I Was Diagnosed). It Hasn't Been Fun But Neither Has It Been Terrible. I Believe I'm Beginning To Have Stiff
Muscles, can anyone tell me what they experienced when this symptom began?
"While research is still ongoing, some studies suggest that grounding (also called earthing), which involves direct contact with the Earth's surface, may potentially help alleviate muscle stiffness associated with Parkinson's disease by reducing inflammation and promoting better blood circulation, though more research is needed to confirm this definitively"
"Is grounding scientifically proven?
A small study found grounding was an effective technique to lower blood pressure. Sleep. One study found grounded people had lower nighttime levels of cortisol – too much of the hormone can have negative effects on your health. In the study, grounding better aligned the hormone with a natural 24-hour circadian rhythm"
