Earthing is so compelling! It is the idea that our bare feet, or any part of our body, needs to touch the earth for the grounding effects it offers. I walk barefoot every night for 20 minutes or so now. In winter, I will invest in a grounding pad for my feet when I sit at the computer. The book is full of studies done with great results. Athletes use it for improving tired muscles. Something to do with the negative ions from the earth balancing the energy we get in our homes from all the electrical appliances/ cell phones/ electrical lines in walls, etc. This is a pretty new discovery made in the 1990's and first written about in the first edition of Earthing by the same authors in 2010. Second edition out in 2014. Wish I was more versed at telling about it. I will get better.

I found out about this book in Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman's Fat Flush book. Dr. Gittleman, a world renowned nutritionist, is fantastic and way ahead of her time. If she recommended this book, that's all I needed to know. This book is wonderful! The technical material was very easy to understand. The science makes perfect sense. I read it very quickly and then went to the Earthing website.. I am now purchasing items to get me grounded. I am looking forward to less joint inflammation and relief from my insomnia. 10 stars!!!

I was open to the idea the moment I discovered its comparison. I always felt great walking on the wet beach or in the grass but just blew it off as I'm on the beach or barefoot in the grass. Now I understand why.. I really don't have any health issues for this to work on so I can't and won't make any medical claims but muscle tension has decreased and my sleep has improved. I've made my own earthing gear. One for my bare feet at my computer desk and an arm wrap for my forearm while I sleep. It's really quite simple. The forearm setup was 14 gauge wire, a male extension cord repair end and a good, high quality arm wrap. that's it... You just need to make sure the earth ground on your wall outlet is REALLY CONNECTED to the earth ground of your home. This can be a problem in much older homes, in which case you'll have to get an electrician to install an outlet that you'll use that is earth grounded... I understand this book and health movement are popular and growing. I wish anyone using it for health reasons the very best. We were designed by nature to walk barefoot, but it just isn't practical in a modern world.Read full review

I found this fascinating reading. I have no special training, but from a commonsense, grassroots perspective, this seems to makes perfect sense. All the experiences of people with different challenges were interesting reading. Something so simple, and so passive. You can do it reading, working at the computer, or sleeping, my personal favorite! Many of the challenges I have are linked with inflammation. This helps that, and I think I have already seen some positive changes. Although, for my chronic problems, I did not expect to jump up the next morning, saying Eureka! I'm cured. Great as well, that this offers some protection from all the electromagnetic pollution we are surrounded with. I highly recommend reading the book. Make up your own mind. Then you may want to try the sheets, or other pads. Hey, just try walking on the beach, or in your yard for a while, and see how you feel! Seems I can feel the slight tingle some people say they experience in the feet, after a while of grounding. BettyRead full review
