What Is Geopathic Stress? Its Causes, Signs And Remedies
All of us are familiar with positive and negative energies and have, in more than one instance, changed our routines and habits as they engender negative vibes. Geopathic stress is one such factor -which is basically a label or term given to the impact earth energies have on human well-being. It is the different types of energy emanating from the earth, which then get affected (distorted) by natural and man-made sources resulting in a weakened immune system, discomfort, and health problems; to not only humans but also animals and plants [1] [2] .

Geopathic stress is formed when the electromagnetic field of the earth becomes weak due to the disturbances caused by mineral concentrations, subterranean running water, fault lines and underground cavities [3] . The distorted vibrations are harmful to live organisms and are regarded as being one of the major causes of cancer, birth defects and other long-term illnesses.
Any living being living, working or sleeping above the distorted magnetic fields can get adversely affect them as the bodily energy fields may not be compatible with the earth's natural rays (which has become distorted). People are mostly affected in their homes, offices etc. often referred to as sick building syndrome [4] .

Dealing With Geopathic Stress
In order to save yourself from the problems caused by the distortion, follow the below-mentioned methods [13] [14] .

Remedies For Geopathic Stress

- Rearrange your living space: Rearrange your furniture and things to avoid spending too much time over or near the point.

- Set up metal rods: One of the most simple yet popular methods is to place metal rods at strategic points in your home or anywhere geopathic stress is identified. The rods can be copper, brass, or steel.
- Use oak tree corks: Oak trees are believed to be resistant to geopathic stress. Placing corks near the affected area can help absorb the geopathic disturbances.
- Get rid of other sources of electromagnetic pollution: Get rid of unneeded appliances and always keep the electrical appliances unplugged when not in use. High tension power lines, satellite towers, electric poles, or circuit breakers can increase the geopathic stress.

- Use Feng Shui to enhance your rearranging: This help improves the healing process, as Feng Shui is known to identify geopathic stress and help heal the affected area or person.
