Earthing and Grounding Studies

Effects of Grounding (Earthing) on Massage Therapists: An Exploratory Study

The study explores the effects of Earthing on massage therapists, focusing on stress, inflammation, and blood viscosity. A randomized controlled trial found that grounding improved heart rate variability, reduced stress markers, and decreased blood viscosity. After ungrounding, inflammation markers increased. These findings suggest that grounding may support massage therapists’ health and well-being by reducing physiological stress and inflammation.

Effects of Grounding on Body Voltage and Current in the Presence of Electromagnetic Fields

Grounding the human body to Earth has been shown to offer numerous health benefits, including reduced inflammation, pain relief, improved sleep, better energy levels, and enhanced blood flow and glucose regulation. This study aimed to test claims that grounding in the presence of household electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could induce harmful AC currents. An experiment was conducted to measure AC voltage and current in a typical home-office setting with multiple electrical devices while grounding.

The Effect of Grounding the Human Body on Mood

This study investigated the effects of Earthing on mood. Forty adults were either grounded or sham-grounded for one hour while relaxing. Using the Brief Mood Introspection Scale, researchers found that grounded participants experienced statistically significant improvements in pleasant and positive moods, whereas sham-grounded individuals did not. The findings suggest that Earthing enhances mood beyond the effects of relaxation alone, highlighting the need for further studies.

A double-blind randomized trial to assess the efficacy of Jing Advanced Clinical Massage and Earthing as interventions in the treatment of chronic low back pain 2021

The research on BeGrounded explores the benefits of Earthing for chronic low back pain. A double-blind, randomized trial examined the effects of massage and grounding while sleeping. Results showed that the grounded group experienced a 38% pain reduction compared to 17% in the sham-grounded group. The study suggests that combining massage with Earthing may significantly alleviate chronic pain, though larger-scale studies are needed.

An experimental Study on immediate effect of direct barefoot contactwith earth on prehypertension

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a major global health concern, often called the "silent killer" due to its link to heart disease, kidney failure, stroke, and premature death. According to the WHO, it causes 9.4 million deaths annually. However, its risks and complications are largely preventable. Prehypertension serves as an early warning sign of clinical hypertension, highlighting the importance of early intervention and lifestyle changes to reduce its impact.

Grounding the Human Body Improves Facial Blood Flow Regulation: Results of a Randomized, Placebo Controlled Pilot Study

This study investigated the effects of Earthing on facial blood flow. In a double-blind experiment, 40 participants were either grounded or sham-grounded while using conductive mats, pillows, and patches. Results showed that grounded participants experienced significant improvements in facial blood flow regulation, suggesting potential benefits for skin health and appearance. The findings highlight Earthing as a natural method for enhancing circulation and possibly supporting tissue repair. Further studies are recommended.

The effect of earthing (grounding) on human physiology

This study examined the physiological effects of Earthing on 58 adults in a double-blind trial. Grounded participants experienced significant changes in brain and muscle activity, blood volume pulse, and overall stress reduction. EEG and EMG readings indicated improved autonomic balance, suggesting a calming effect on the nervous system. These findings build on prior research showing Earthing’s benefits for sleep, pain, and stress.

Health Effects of Alkaline Diet and Water, Reduction of Digestive-tract Bacterial Load, and Earthing

This article explores chronic low-grade acidosis caused by aging and diet, which can subtly lower blood pH over time. While these changes remain within normal ranges, prolonged acidosis may have significant health effects. Research suggests that consuming alkaline-forming foods can improve bone mineral density, muscle mass, and toxin elimination while potentially reducing chronic illnesses and tumor progression. The findings highlight the importance of diet in maintaining acid-base balance for long-term health.
