There several steps you can take to reduce the build up of static in your body.
The earliest method used to control static was to place pans of water in a room or the use of indoor plants that require watering.
If sufficient water is added to the air, it will eliminate the static problem, but too much moisture can produce condensation on windows.
Humidify the air in your house. There are several ways to add humidity to the air. Humidifiers do a wonderful job of returning much needed moisture, but they will end up costing you money because they need electricity to operate. After you wash your clothes, hang them in various rooms of the house, not very attractive or orderly, but it works. As the clothes dry, water evaporates and humidifies the air.
Fill vases with decorative shells or stones and add water. Leave potted plants all over the house especially in areas where static electric shocks are a problem, replenish the water regularly.
Fill a spray bottle with water and mist the air. Add a drop or two of your favourite essential oil to add a fresh scent. Adding freshly squeezed lemon juice to the water vases also adds a clean fresh smell to your home.
As you add humidity to the air in your home, you will find your clothes will have much less static cling, hair will cooperate better and your children won't run around the house having shock fights.
