Benefits of Grounding or Earthing

9. Free Alternatives

Because there is controversy surrounding earthing, some people may find it difficult to justify buying expensive products. Luckily, there are many free alternatives. Notably, older studies on grounding suggest that walking barefoot on the ground or sleeping directly on the ground provide these benefits. Additionally, most shoes are actually very poor insulators. It is possible that thinner footwear has similar benefits to walking barefoot. Some people have taken to creating their own grounding blankets, though this is more difficult and still has some cost.
