Ever Heard of Grounding?
Have you ever noticed how refreshed and energized you can feel after walking barefoot on grass or sand?
That’s not just in your head—there’s something deeper happening. It’s called grounding.
Grounding, also known as earthing, is the practice of connecting directly with the Earth’s natural energy.
For most of human history, we walked barefoot or slept on natural surfaces, maintaining a direct electrical connection with the Earth.
But today, with rubber-soled shoes, asphalt roads, and indoor living, we’re more disconnected than ever.
Why does this matter?
According to the book Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!, Earthing can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress, help you achieve deep sleep, boost energy, enhance mental performance, enhance mental well-being and more!
But these aren't just some pseudoscientific claims with no backing -- there are many studies backing it.
Here are 5 researched-backed health benefits of grounding:
-
Can Improve Oxygen Flow – Helps ensure your organs, muscles, and brain get the oxygen they need to function at their best.
-
Supports Blood Flow – Some studies suggest grounding may help reduce blood thickness, making it easier for red blood cells to move freely.
-
Can Reduce Inflammation – Helps calm swelling and discomfort by neutralizing free radicals.
-
Can Aid Muscle Recovery – Improved blood flow can bring nutrients to muscles after exercise, supporting faster healing.
- Warms Up Cold Hands & Feet – Poor circulation is often the reason extremities feel cold, and grounding may help.
I know I said I’d give just five reasons, but I have to mention one more:
6. It’s incredibly easy to try.
The simplest way to ground is by spending time barefoot outside on grass, soil, or sand.
But if that’s not always possible, there are ways to bring grounding indoors so you can experience its benefits anytime.
That's why I created Ultimate Grounding Mat so you can try grounding in the comfort of your home.
If you’ve never heard of grounding before, now’s the perfect time to try! It’s a small change that could make a big difference in how you feel.
To your health,
