Scientific studies on grounding
Grounding: background and research – honestly put into context.
Grounding raises questions and also criticism. We understand that. Here we explain what can be measured physically, and where you can read up on the research yourself.
What can be measured – and what can't
Measurable: If the body is insulated from the earth, for example by rubber soles, a multimeter shows an AC voltage on the body. It is caused by electrical fields in the surroundings. When the body is grounded, this value drops significantly. That is physics and you can check it at home.
Not proven: So far there are only a few, mostly small studies on the health effects of grounding. They are not sufficient to prove health effects. That is why we make no promises about them.

Read up yourself
If you want to form your own opinion, you will find scientific publications on grounding (also called “earthing”) in the PubMed® database. It is run by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and lists articles from medicine and biology.
Please note: a publication is not proof of an effect. When reading, pay attention to the number of participants, the control group and how a study was funded.
Full transparency
PubMed® does not create any content itself; it indexes scientific articles from journals and publishers. This makes it easy for you to trace where publications come from.
