Of course you can. Based on ancient legends, we are made up of various composites from Nature. People in this modern era suffer from all kinds of diseases, especially from allergies and even leukemia. This is due to lack of contact with natural soil and its energy.
When your young children feel tired or unwell, let them play on the soil. It is not the potting mix which you buy from gardening shops. Potting mix isn’t soil. Potting mix is more lightweight than garden soil. Potting mix is just fermented plant extracts or a mix of shredded plants. So potting mix isn’t the same as garden soil. It is beneficial for health to often play on garden soil.
I have told this to a few parents whose kids are pale, in poor health and often sick. I told them to get some garden soil and place it in their home. So their kids can play on the soil. One parent said it was dirty. She must be muddled after studying too much. How could soil be dirty? When soil stains our white shirt, many mothers think it is dirty. Please remember that soil is not dirty. Soil gives our children nutrients which increase immunity. Soil supplements us with certain nutrients which we can’t get from food. You can only get these nutrients through bodily contact with soil. This is one of the best ways to gain good health.
Some families, when they are in a good financial situation, tend to buy lots of health supplements. It is better to get a container; put soil and water into it. Make small figures, maybe chickens or dogs, out of mud. You will become healthy without eating supplements.
If it is not too cold, go barefoot. Be alert to sharp objects, such as nails and glass. If you can avoid being hurt by sharp objects, it is good to be in touch with soil. It is one of the healthiest ways to practice. It is beneficial to everyone’s health.
