Static electricity

[Zurp111]

HelloI've read recently that rls may be worsen when we have static electricity on our legs. There is a cushion with a duvet against static electricity to put in our bed, they pretend it works.

Anybody eard about this?

Thanks

Not heard of it but I do find that walking barefoot on bare earth very calming for the legs.

When your skin touches the earth, negatively-charged, free electrons are transferred from earth to your body. Every time you walk outside barefoot and come into contact with earth or ground, you are practicing a phenomenon known as “grounding” or “earthing.” Earthing is a process that connects us to the earth. Whether walking barefoot on the grass, dirt, ocean or beach, earthing is beneficial to our health. It restores the electrical stability of the body.

Thank you for your experience, its not easy for me to walk outside barefoot because I live in a city. There is a body brush to take static electricity out off the body I heard.All of this doesn't cure rls but if it helps rather then worsening it, ( so many things are worsening it...) it worths a try!

You can try an earthing mat - I use it all the time - it does counteract inflammation.

thank you for this info, I like the sound of this and went out and walked around on the wet grass (rainy day) for a half hour of and on. I had a better, no medications, night. No RL till 3am and went on till 4am (did a puzzle for a half hr) then slept really well till 99am. If it works again next time and again, I'll let you know. I'm hoping I'll reduce inflammation in injured hips and back. Thanks and best wishes for peaceful nights for us all.
