This is another one of calling out the loons post! Grounding or earthing has all the hallmarks and characteristics associated with it being snake oil and pseudoscientific woo. The gullible are falling for the dubious marketing of those with a product to sell. The claims made by those who promote it are a great source of fodder for the skeptics blogs. Grounding is based on the premise that direct physical contact (ie barefoot) of the body with the earth has physiological benefits via an ‘electrical’ connection with the earth. To any physicist the claims make no sense.
