Grounding/Earthing Practice

What is Grounding/Earthing Practice?

Grounding (earthing) involves direct skin contact with the Earth's surface, theorized to allow the body to absorb free electrons that neutralize free radicals. Clint Ober's research, published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health, reports improvements in sleep quality, cortisol normalization, and reduced inflammation. While independent replication is limited, the practice is zero-risk and many practitioners report significant subjective benefits in energy and pain reduction.

Is there evidence for it?
