The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding

The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding (full documentary)

Initial exploration into grounding's impact on health and human physiology was initiated by Drs. Karol and Pawel Sokal in Poland, along with Clint Ober in the United States, during the 1990s. This pioneering research unveiled compelling evidence that grounding induces significant positive changes in the body's electrical balance and blood electrodynamics, enhancing the body's natural healing and regulatory abilities.

Grounding is understood to facilitate the movement of electrons from the Earth into the body, countering inflammation caused by free radicals, which electrons from any source can neutralize. This principle underlies the antioxidant capabilities of neutralizing free radicals.

Through both scientific studies and testimonials from numerous individuals who have experienced grounding firsthand, there's a consistent pattern of reported pain relief. While not definitive proof, such pain alleviation strongly suggests a decrease in inflammation, with research findings supporting this conclusion. Below are the titles of relevant studies conducted to this point. Click on each title to explore the studies further.
