Energetic Healing Designed for the Body Electric

The human body is, in many respects, an electrical bio-machine. Chemical elements in the body have electrical charges, like the cells in the sinoatrial node of the heart, which contain the electrolytes calcium, magnesium and sodium. When these electrolytes pass through cellular membranes, they discharge electricity.

Electrical signals are how the human brain and nervous system communicate in the body’s ongoing efforts to maintain homoeostasis—keeping a healthy balance within the body’s system of a wide variety of factors like pH, blood pressure, temperature and glucose levels. ECG (electrocardiography) measures electrical activity in heart muscle, while EEG (electroencephalography) measures electrical activity in the brain.
