What is Earthing all about?
Earthing or grounding is one of the most fundamental things one can do to improve one’s health. Earthing means that you have direct skin contact with our wonderful planet, nothing else. The most basic form of Earthing is to walk barefoot on grass, earth, sand and rocks as humans have done since time immemorial. Bathing in the sea, lakes and rivers is also a great way to get grounded. In our modern society we have insulated ourselves from contact with our Earth by using shoes with rubber soles, walking on insulating wooden or plastic floors, sleeping without Earth contact and spending pretty much all our lives insulated from contact with the surface of our amazing planet.
When we restore direct contact with Earth a number of amazing things happen. First and foremost, it is essential to understand that the surface of Earth is ”alive” with an unlimited supply of free electrons. This is a well established scientific fact although it is not well known to most people. What does that mean to you? Nothing if you don not have direct skin contact with the Earth, meaning the skin of your body, such as bare feet, making contact with the ”skin” of the Earth. With direct contact your body absorbs the natural, subtle energy on the ground - the free electrons. When you routinely stay in contact with the ground the electrons restore and stabilize a natural electrical state in your body. Keep in mind that your body - from the cells to the organs - work electrically. Think of your heart and nervous system as examples. The energy system from the Earth also appear to significantly reduce chronic inflammation, regarded as the primary cause of most modern illnesses.
These systemic effects leads to benefits for our health and wellbeing, all explained in detail in the book Earthing, written by Clint Ober, Stephen Sinatra, M.D., and Martin Zucker. Benefits include better sleep, feeling more rested when waking up, reduced pain and stress and higher energy.
Co-author and renowned integrative cardiologist, Stephen Sinatra, M.D., who has over 30 years practicing in medicine says,
“I regard Earthing as the greatest health breakthrough in all my years in medical practice. Regular grounding (another name for Earthing) restores the body’s natural electrical state, calms the nervous system, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation. No pill on Earth can do what Mother Earth does!”
The discovery of significantly beneficial effects on health through Earthing was made by Clint Ober, a retired cable TV executive, in 1998. Mr Ober is quick to point to the fact that many cultures throughout history have emphasized and honored the importance of connectedness to the Earth. However, he appears to be the first to pursue research to substantiate the connection in modern, scientific terms. He did so by attracting interested researchers with expertise in electrophysiology and biophysics. To date, they have produced about a dozen studies that reveal unique and intriguing changes in physiology, sleep, blood chemistry and inflammation. These studies, summarized in the Earthing book, have opened a new and promising field of environmental biological research - how the planet we live on affects our bodies. These scientific studies can be found online at the Earthing Institute.
Recognizing that most people will not - and obviously can not - go barefoot each and every day, Mr Ober developed Earthing systems for indoor use that make it possible to be grounded at home and work. These systems include conductive sheets, mats and bands. You don’t have to do anything other than take a short moment to set up the systems. You connect the systems cord to the Earth rod placed outside in the ground. That’s it! All you have to do then is to make bare skin contact by sleeping on the sheet, or place your bare feet on the mat under your computer desk or while you read or watch TV. There is nothing else to do. The electrons will flow from the Earth into your body as you sleep, work or relax. It is the equivalent of being barefoot outdoors.
You will find the Earthing systems on the shop page of this website. We only supply original products developed by Clint Ober during his years of research and development Think about how many hours you actually have direct physical contact with our Earth in a year and compare that with sleeping grounded every night, connected to the earth. Do you see the benefit?
We at Earthingpeople.se aim to increasing public knowledge about this revolutionizing discovery and in doing so, helping others attain better health and quality of life.

“Earthing is a revolutionary health breakthrough that will change your life. Read this book, get grounded, and start the process of breaking the stress and illness cycle.” –Martin Gallagher, M.D., D.C., author of Dr. Gallagher's Guide to 21st Century Medicine
“Earthing ranks right up there with the discovery of penicillin. This book is probably the most important health read of the 21rst century.” –Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D.,C.N.S., author of The Fat Flush Plan
“In our high tech society, connecting with the Earth has never been more critical to our health and well-being. This inspired and well-researched book explains the perils we face by being disconnected from the power and energy of the Earth and its boundless storehouse of free electrons. Could much of the disease, chronic inflammation, poor sleep and more be the result of this? A brilliant hypothesis well-grounded in science. Highly recommended.” –Nicholas Perricone, M.D., author of Ageless Face, Ageless Mind
“Wonderful book! Earthing is a return to the healing power of Nature. Scientifically based and intuitively correct, here's a simple but powerful way to restore your health on all levels."
-Hyla Cass, M.D., author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health
“Earthing connects us to Nature and Nature is the ultimate source of health and healing. This book is a manual for one of Nature’s great healing secrets.” –John Gray, Ph.D., author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are
From Venus
“Earthing is a must book for natural healing therapists and all the people interested in their health. It shows a clear reason why we must reconnect with nature.”
–Lee won kyoo, publisher/editor, Here Now Magazine, Korea
”The more we engage in our post-industrial, electronic lives, complete with heavy-heeled shoes, the more we would do well to heed the advice given by Clint Ober’s excellent and well-worth-reading work. Get grounded."
–Felicia Marie Tomasko, RN, LA Yoga Magazine
"I found the Earthing book fascinating and captivating. Clinton Ober's story reads like a novel and the book's many testimonies and clear technical details certainly show this new science must be pursued and made known to the world."
–André Fauteux, Editor, La Maison du 21e siècle (21st-Century Housing) Magazine, Quebec
