Discover the scientific research behind connection with the Earth
Over 50 peer-reviewed studies have examined the effects of grounding on circadian rhythm, inflammation markers, and the autonomic nervous system. The evidence base keeps growing every year.
Explore the Science →Grounding (or earthing) is a simple technique: walking barefoot on earth, grass, or sand. The Earth is an inexhaustible source of free electrons. Published research suggests that, upon contact with the body, they may act as natural antioxidants and help neutralise free radicals.
Free electrons from the Earth flow into the body, helping neutralise pro-oxidant free radicals associated with chronic inflammation.
The geomagnetic field is thought to help regulate the cortisol-melatonin cycle, supporting the natural biological clock and sleep quality.
Several studies document activation of the parasympathetic nervous system —the body's "rest and recovery" mode— during contact with the Earth.
In the populations studied, researchers have measured decreases in pro-inflammatory markers such as IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP. Promising data that science continues to expand on.
