What was studied: Multiple human and observational studies examined how grounding affects markers related to inflammation.
What researchers observed: Grounding was associated with changes in inflammatory indicators and immune signaling, suggesting it may help the body maintain a more balanced inflammatory response, especially after stress or injury.
Why it matters: Chronic inflammation is linked to many modern health challenges, and grounding may support the body’s natural regulatory processes.
Key study: The effects of grounding (earthing) on inflammation, the immune response, wound healing, and prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases — a comprehensive review of research on grounding and inflammation.
