Benefits of Grounding or Earthing

3. Effects on the Blood

One study measured 58 healthy adults to investigate the effects of grounding, achieved with conductive adhesive patches on the soles of the subjects’ feet. Over the next 56 minutes, the subjects spent half of the time grounded and the other half ungrounded. The results of the study found grounding reduces blood volume pulse; essentially, heart rate and blood pressure were lower while the subject stood in grounded conditions. Other studies suggest that grounding may also reduce blood viscosity and clotting.
