6.8/ 10

Earthing, also called grounding, means direct conductive contact with the earth through bare skin, an outdoor ground rod, or an indoor mat or sheet connected to ground. The current evidence supports a small sleep, pain, and recovery signal, not a proven disease-treatment claim. The strongest newer human studies are small: Park 2025 for sleep and Sokal 2025 for post-spinal-surgery recovery. The founding antioxidant electron-transfer mechanism was weakened by Chamberlin 2014, which found tiny charge exchange dominated by motion rather than recoverable physiologic signal.
