Reduces Cardiovascular
Risk
Grounding appears to be one of the
simplest and yet most profound
interventions for helping reduce
cardiovascular risk and
cardiovascular events.

Reduces Muscle Tension
Decreases Signs of Osteoporosis
The results suggest that [grounding] for a
single night reduces primary indicators of
osteoporosis.
Gaétan Chevalier, Stephen T. Sinatra, James L. Oschman, Karol Sokal, and Pawel Sokal, Earthing:
In patients who experience
anxiety, emotional stress, panic,
fear, and/or symptoms of
autonomic dystonia, including
headaches, cardiac palpitations,
and dizziness, grounding could
be a very realistic therapy.
These patients may see positive
effects most likely within 20 to
30 minutes and in almost all
cases in 40 minutes.

a direct, beneficial effect on the regulation of
blood glucose.

Improves Sleep
Initial experiments resulted in
subjective reports of improved
sleep and reduced pain…
Furthermore, subjective reporting
indicates that grounding the
human body to earth during sleep
improves sleep and reduces pain
and stress.

Reduces in Stress Levels / Improve
Sleep
Taken together, the changes in EEG, EMG, and
BVP suggest reductions in overall stress levels and
tensions and a shift in ANS balance upon
[grounding]. The results extend the conclusions of
previous studies.
In patients who experience anxiety, emotional stress,
panic, fear, and/or symptoms of autonomic dystonia,
including headaches, cardiac palpitations, and
dizziness, grounding could be a very realistic
therapy. These patients may see positive effects
most likely within 20 to 30 minutes and in almost all
