What is grounding, and how does it work?
AI-curated answer
Grounding — sometimes called earthing — is the practice of restoring direct conductive contact between your body and the Earth's natural surface charge. When you stand barefoot on grass, sand, or soil, free electrons flow from the ground into your body and act as natural antioxidants. Grounding products replicate this connection indoors using conductive fabrics safely tied to your home's ground.

Grounding reduces chronic inflammation markers
A literature review of grounding studies concluded that consistent earthing reduces inflammation, pain, and immune-system overactivity across multiple small trials, with effect sizes that warrant larger studies.
Takeaway: Consistency matters more than duration — small daily contact compounds.
