What is grounding and how does it work? The basics explained
How it works
Grounding: what is behind it?
Grounding means that your body makes conductive contact with the earth's electrical potential – just like walking barefoot on grass or swimming in a lake. In everyday life we are often insulated from it: by rubber soles, floors and mattresses. With grounding products you create this connection at home, via the earth contact of your socket.
What you notice is individual – we deliberately make no promises about it. Wurzler™ products are not medical devices and do not replace medical advice.
Wurzler™ – Naturally grounded.
That's exactly what Wurzler™ is about: bringing the natural connection to the earth back into our everyday lives in a simple way. It's about returning to a natural state that people took for granted for a very long time.
Simply physics. Not a matter of belief.
Grounding you can see
Naturally grounded.
As long as you are insulated, for example by rubber soles, a multimeter can measure voltage on your body. When you touch the earth barefoot, this voltage drops. At that moment your body is grounded, meaning it is at the same electrical potential as the earth.
The measurement is taken with a voltmeter set to AC voltage: the black probe goes into the ground and you hold the red probe in your hand.
Our Wurzler™ products.
In principle, Wurzler™ products do the same as natural grounding. Our products are designed for daily use and are conductive, giving you practical ways to connect with the earth. Being grounded does not have to be a complicated extra step – it can become a natural part of your daily routine.
In bed, at your desk, during exercise or on the go: our products help you connect with the earth as easily as possible.
The set-up is as follows:
A digital voltmeter is set to AC voltage. The black probe (minus) is in the ground and you hold the red probe (plus) in your hand. You can see straight away that voltage is measured with an ordinary black shoe, because the rubber sole insulates you from the earth. As soon as you touch the earth through the Wurzler™ shoe, in this case with the right foot/white trainer, the voltage drops and you are grounded.

Physics. Not esotericism.
Grounding may sound unfamiliar to some people. Yet the principle is simple physics: it's about electrical contact between the body and the earth.
We deliberately choose our words carefully. Wurzler™ products are not medical devices and are no substitute for medical advice.

What research says – and what it doesn't.
What can be measured is the voltage on the body – and that it drops when you are grounded. So far there are only a few, mostly small studies on health effects. That is not enough to promise any effects, so we don't. Wurzler™ products are not medical devices.
