Grounding, also known as earthing, has gained popularity as a wellness practice that entails walking barefoot outdoors to connect with the Earth's electrical charge. This practice is based on the premise that the Earth is negatively charged, and that this negative charge can help neutralize excess positive charges that accumulate in our bodies. Advocates claim benefits such as improved sleep, reduced inflammation, and alleviation of pain. The concept finds some scientific basis in physics, suggesting that grounding can balance charge densities. The surge in interest highlights a blend of ancient practices and modern wellness trends.
