Benefits of Grounding (Earthing)

- This video gives a brief overview of the benefits of grounding- connecting your body to the earth. The greatest benefit is that in comparison to medications, surgeries, physical therapy, orthotic devices, acupuncture, etc... it is totally free! Just go stand outside for a while with your shoes off. Once considered psuedo-science, grounding is emerging as a legitimate science-science whose benefits can not be underestimated.
I started earthing about 3 weeks ago. I now use an earthing bed sheet and a pad on the floor at my computer. I also walk and work in my yard barefoot whenever I can. Sometimes just taking a walk around my house for the earthing relief. My blood pressure is now the lowest I've seen in 10 years and I usually have my knees injected every 6 months for the last 3 years but now I've gone 1 month past a needed injection and probably may not need another. I'm 66 and will be 67 soon, I wish I knew this many years ago.
Amazing! I'm glad it's working for you
@@DrHoulihan I've been amazed and I'm hoping for even better health benefits going forward.
The placebo effect is a powerful thing
Awesome!
Placebo very dangerous.
This is why kids are so healthy. They’re always being grounded.
😂
Growing up I was ALWAYS outside playing in the dirt and barefoot all summer. I can say that was a time of my life where I always felt good and happy.
Dad?
I work in Walmart in Puerto Rico,in mi break time I used to do grounding aside the store ,some people pass by and some tell me perfect you're grounding and others tell me you're crazy ,well the fact is that I feel great!!!🇵🇷🔥💪
Trying grounding for very bad body pain , pray it is All real
I recently started paying attention to my feet health and got my first pair of barefoot shoes and noticed right away that my back felt better and a old knee pain has disappeared. Also trying toe spacers and found my feet seem warmer and can move my toes around easier. Great video will definitely try grounding more I believe we all need to get in touch with mother nature more so a win win.
Love to hear it! And I agree, nature is healing in many ways
What’s bare foot shoes
Great message! Earthing is such a powerful healer! Thanks for posting. Big hugs 🤗
I was having a lot of back, shoulder, and hip pain the last three years. Everytime I would get one issue under control with exercise and stretching a new pain would eventually pop up and wreak havoc.
I grounded last week for just a few minutes while picking plants for my pet turtle to eat by just going out with no shoes. I slept like a baby and woke up pain free the next morning.
I have been grounding myself as often as I can since. I am a believer.
Thank you Doctor love your honesty and approach ❤❤❤
Excellent information!!👍😊
thank you for your lovely presentation! lovely shout out to your sponsor!
Thx for the awesome and informative video Dr.!!
Great work Dr. 🖤
Dr. Houlihan, what a pleasure to come across your video when I searched "earthing."
I too am a Houlihan, and also an avid barefooter! But I'm not a doctor 😢😂
Thank you for your concise breakdown of this (ironically) revolutionary concept. I will share your video with any future skeptics I may meet.
✌️
I wish we had grounded barefoot shoes as an option. The first thing you should do when you get off a long airline flight, is take your shoes and socks off and fine ground.
I actually just discovered that these do exist. Not widely available- the vast majority of "grounding" shoes are still thick, lumpy, stiff, narrow, etc, but this company Nefes does make some that look to be foot appropriate.

@DrHoulihan Thank you the best of both worlds. Im definitely interested. 👣
@@AloneInTheVoid The first thing I do on a flight is take off my shoes. Buckle up shoes off 👣 👍
I ground everyday! Please explain how you’re grounding on an air plane??? In order to ground you need to be on the Earth, grass or cement that sits to the Earth. You cannot simply be barefoot on just any surface. 😮😮😮
@Jan McVey He can't be if he's off the ground. The higher a person is off the ground , the less healthier they are. If you live in high-rise buildings, you should be grounded by a wire as much as possible. Sleep on grounding sheets. There are grounding mats for your feet when you're working on the computer and keyboard mats. Check out the many benefits of body earth grounding. The health benefits are free, and doctors can't make money from healthy people. ✋️ 👣
Hey Doc, 2 months I stumbled upon grounding while surfing YT..having a very open mind and endless curiosity I wanted to know more..I started grounding by walking outside on the grass and dirt at first but made a grounding pad for my recliner leg rest from YT plans also..2 month ago I had terrible left knee pain and now that pain is 95% gone..acid reflux..gone..sleeping thru the night not waking up to pee 3-4 times a night..just a better overall feeling of wellness..Dr. I love grounding!..
BTW.. I'm 76 and healthier than in years..
Love that grounding has helped you out so much!
Hello, Doc. Is grounding indoors through a wall socket safe?
@ManishRaj-yz7lb I don't know the answer to that one
@@ManishRaj-yz7lb
Yes grounding using the wall outlet is safe after you break off the hot & neutral prongs leaving only the ground prong..hope this helps..
@@kennynickell9883 Did you felt any tingling sensation when grounding indoors through wall outlet?
Great info! Been grounding for a while now and yes i GET IT! Ty again well spoken and to the point, thank you!!!!!! I use this vid when im "planting seeds" so to speak, with others.
Love to hear it! Glad I could be of service
Thanks, Doc. Great video! Being old, I have several strikes against me. Sciatic pain is so bad, I can only walk a few feet. Here in South Texas, if I walk on the grass for a few minutes barefooted, my body becomes infested with chiggers & heat rashes in 100-degree, 100% humidity weather. However, I bought a Hoogo mat on Amazon and just plugged it in. It's amazing! I can actually feel the electricity surging through my feet. (My son & wife didn't feel it like I did) Delivery was only 2 days. Since retirement, I'm barefooted all day (my feet grew 2 inches since retirement) so this helps!
Glad it is working for you!
Thank you so much I will try it❤
I love the way you explain, I actually understood everything 😅
I've experienced great relaxation from grounding with all my body, not only putting my hands and feet on the ground, but at least my upper body with the less amount of clothes possible or cotton clothes. After 30 minutes, I feel really relaxed. My mind stops thinking a lot. Just wanted to share, in case you wanted to try.
Love this, thanks for sharing!
I always wondered why my kids would take their shoes and socks off every chance they got. They love running around barefoot. They always said, because it feels good. Mother nature is working it's magic.
The kids just know sometimes 🧠
I only stopped because one time I was cutting the yard and noticed a big black spider 🕷️ just sitting there...I was like...ok.
Hey! Congrats on the best explanation on the net. Even the original old guy with white hair and the documentaries can’t seem to explain it.
Man-- arthritis pain increasing lately, stiff. Glad the temperature is up now, spring has sprung-- gonna go barefooted more. Thanks!
Great information and video. Please leave graphics up longer.
Stellar video here. Concise data presented with professional vernacular. Toes are on the grass as we speak!
could you do a video on floor sleeping? I made the switch several months ago and would never go back ❤
I grounded today and felt so great also
Been grounding for 3 weeks now. Back and neck pain is gone. My scalp problems are disappearing! Sleep is better as well
I can't say for sure but I was having a problem with my leg and was going to walks about 2 or 3 miles and had little strength. I went for a different walk in my town and decided to walk a trail on the river and I noticed my leg was starting to feel better. I did have my sneakers on. I did walk that trail twice. Maybe you still get some benefits with sneakers on?
All the other walking I was doing was on sidewalks.
Thank you!
I bought a grounding rod and connector for less than $30 at Lowes and I drilled a hole in a corner of my bedroom floor and drove the rod into the ground in the crawl space.
The hole was just big enough so insects cant crawl up around the rod.
I did it this way instead of using the ground in my homes electrical system because I just wanted a clean connection without any possible electrical feedback from the homes wiring.
Thank you! Very informative video. I've been grounding since March and I feel incredible. I can attest that it reduces anxiety and increases energy. I'm hoping to ground in the winter months can you suggest a grounding show worth i my while!
I haven't purchased any grounding shoes for myself yet, so I can't say from personal experience, but I really like the look of RAUM Goods
Sometimes when I'm working on an electronic project I put a ground wire on my wrist to ground myself so the static electricity doesn't blow out what I'm working on. The ground wire doesn't put anything in you, it drains the electricity out of your body to the ground.
Someone told me about this. Thank God I found out before this Geomagnetic Storm!
I have substantiated inflammation, with grounding my feet, hand and lips reduce inflammation.
Nice!
I have Neuropathy and want to know if it can help me . Thank you
I go back to grounding/ earthing🥰
Haven't finished the video yet, but....how long should you do that?
I started grounding not long ago,now I feel a lot of sensations in my feet’s,like pulsating,can someone elaborate for my why I am feeling this
It could be that you have focused your attention on your feet and are more aware of sensations, it could be increased blood flow, it could be both, it could be something totally different
It could be your body is going through a detox. That does happen to some people. Especially if you have a lot of chronic inflammation.
It's the sign of healing sensation of body .
I have a heated mattress pad, and electric blankets in my bed.. if I place a grounding pad above the mattress pad, and below the sheets I assume that would help. But what about for the electric blankets above, how do I ground myself for that?
That's a good question, I would direct that to the company from which you purchased the grounding pad
Dope
thanks doc. i'm a type 1 diabetic had it for 48yrs, I also wear a dual chamber pacemaker, is this grounding safe for me having a pacemaker? thank you sir.
I would consult your cardiologist for any questions regarding the pacemaker
It shouldn't affect your pacemaker, just don't use household plug ground, it can have latent voltage 2-4 volts which could mess with it, ground to a rod in the ground outside, it's a far better ground, I've been doing it for two weeks and almost pain free
The ground in your plug goes to the ground rod outside. All the volts go into the ground and they don't come back.@@robertbernard651
I was in a motorcycle accident and my leg is all metal below my knee except for my foot is all metal rods
remember some guy dying of a stroke next to me in the ed, and still a group of doctors were around me
laughing with me how fucked up my leg is and they have seen nothing like it amazed by it
pain has been unreal any recommendations
That's a situation that requires much more attention and detail than I could provide online. Have you been to a full course of physical therapy?
I think diabetes is more linked to sugar consumption but I still would like to try grounding.
I just wanna say one thing. When i start walking or even stand still on ground barefoot my both nasal paths opens up and i think may be it balances up our both neural hemisphere.
I should have been doing this sooner.
Hello Dr.
It's a promising approach ,but yet there aren't much study i can refer to except the word of mouth....
I am a Retinitis Pigmentosa patient
Looking for alternative medicine and therepy to help me fight what's going on.
If u hv any comment or advice about this study helping my sight or anyother it will be appreciated.
Your opinion does matter!!
Thanks a ton🐝
The studies cited in the video around the 1:40 mark are pretty helpful, I also linked a study in one of the comment threads down below regarding some of the underlying mechanisms of this process. Hope those help!
But have you come across any study which helps in the healing of eye disorder by grounding?
@@mohidinthakkar7813 I have not

@@roselynjakin5804which foods are those? And do you have a website, study or article you can link? This is fascinating and I’m wanting to recover better vision myself. Thank you! ❤
what are the benefits of painting your nails with toxic paint ?
Saw some guy hiking a mountain and he was fucking barefoot. I was shocked and asked him a few questions and he told me to look this video up. Crazy, might have to run a hike with him soon.
How cool! Give it a shot assuming the terrain is safe 👍
Hike barefoot 3-4 times a week in the mountains in summer. 3-7 miles
We know our earth is at zero potential. Then if we grounded all the higher potential points, will earth absorb all the energy ? please answer my question sir.
That is physics that is over my head, maybe if a physicist comes across this comment they can answer that for you!
Ok.
I heard it said that grounding protects us from emfs. My question to you is if im wearing a smart watch or using my phone while grounded am i protected? Or ahould i take watch off n try not to use cell phone while grounded
Yes protected.But must remain with nature without technology.You will enjoy the beauty of nature directly through your eyes to brain and feel much relaxed.
@@thepunjabcityschoolmultan7471 thank you for your response
Just wondering if you could help me , since i started grounding i have developed rendess/rash around my ankles , any ideas what this is or why it is happening ... thanks
Not something I would be able to diagnose over the internet, I would go get it checked out if it keeps bothering you
You should walk on the area where the grass is less.Some people get rash due to walking in heavy grass.
Detox?
Sound good but there are no lawns here ( water shortage) and living in the forest means no real walkable earth(when we don’t have snow as now). I would guess artificial grass won’t cut it. Nor wooden decks. Any other suggestions?
If you live in the forest you can stand outside, or sit outside with your feet on the ground. You don't necessarily have to go for a walk (although it is nice to do that too). If the ground is covered in snow it might be worth looking into one of the kits that connects your bed or your chair with the earth via a conductive rod in the soil
Have a small portable grassy lawn in a tub or some plastic carton and enjoy earthing
Barefoot shoes will allow for grounding outside in the grass?
Some come with copper inserts that will allow for that
What’s vest is that?
Eddie Bauer 👌
Fourth day of grounding and I woke up with the worst back pain I've ever felt, could barely get out of bed!
It’s probably your muscles adjusting to standing/walking barefoot when you’ve been wearing shoes your whole life.
Would 5 minutes of grounding help? Or would someone have to ground for maybe lime 30 minutes?
For a healthy life ,20 minutes walk on ground is necessary.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31

Where can I get a picture of that graph?
You can download it from this page grounded.com/news
@@DrHoulihan What I find interesting from that graph is since the 1960s men testosterone has been dropping.
@Matt Ward It would be interesting to see those graphs superimposed on eachother as well
Can someone help? crawling worms & bugs are really yucks to me so I'm paranoid & stressed about grounding. Can I at least get a fresh leaf and put it on the ground then put my feet on the leaf? Or if I use a clay potting pot with holes underneath and fill it with soil then put it on the ground then my feet in that soil in the pot? The soil in the pot will get in contact with the ground so it's the same thing right?
Dear you can grow your own earth ground or grassy ground in a pot and use it while sitting anywhere inside or outside.The portable one.
@@thepunjabcityschoolmultan7471 but that's not gonna be connected the earth.....whats the point
The earthing means we need a medium where we touch the surface to release our negative ions or electrons.Think of the gardens created on roof tops.
Yes
Now doctor told parents let the kids play in ground to have good immunity against diseases.If they do not have ground or garden ,must have mud in some containers and let them play in it.
Does grounding helps with dementia?
I'm not sure, I have not seen any research about that specifically
Yes it helps.
Some say you can't ground in the city because of underground electric lines. Is that true?
Not sure, that one's a little outside my wheelhouse
As long as you are touching bare earth you should be grounded. The earth is filled with negative electrons which enter the body when contact is made.
@@tberry9535 Thank you.
I bought grounding sheets and used them for two months and they didn't help my body pain. I went barefoot for two hours a few times but it didn't help. I was so disappointed.
Grounding can be done in concrete?
I believe that depends on whether or not the concrete is in direct contact with the earth
Concrete yes but not asphalt..
Many areas of the USA make you hook your electrical house ground to 2- 20’ rebars in your concrete footer, for better ground.
Has anybody thought about earthing shoes ? have a flexible pad inside the shoe that conducts electrical currents and on the bottom of the shoes on the tread would have raised copper or other metal spots to make a contact ? also swimming in a lake or pool would that also be earthing beside detoxifying and physical therapy ? or would you have to run a copper or stainless steel rod into the water from outside only when there is no electrical storms
Salted water helps you to ground in the water❕
What kind of Doctor are u?
Too many benefits to list so please just try grounding..I wish all house pets could have earthing mats indoors also
Mine share my mat.
So leather shoes??
From what i have read, leather soles or cotton, anything natural. Leather needs to get damp to be more conductive.
Eat meat and eggs walk barefoot do hard work. ......think if it was 1000 years ago. Fasting, high meat diet, hard labor and barefoot
Exactly
In every department. We have cut ourselves off of nature and natural environment and food
Wonder why everyone is sick??
So to be able to get the benefits, one needs to be grounded for at least 30 minutes?.
Cool sponsor ✌️
For me , I ground during sleep and again during the day for at least 2 hours. Ideally it should be 24 hours or until your problem inflammation goes away.
@@danvelgtr thank you ✌️
Disconnect a tree from the soil and see what happens. Or better not. Hug them. ♥️
This is a tradition in Islam. Muslims have been encouraged by the Prophet Mohammed to engage in the earth.
Bruh i am looking for electrical grounding
Electrical grounding is done through Earth. I believe it was the man behind The Earthing Movie who shared this
Don't forget to put seed oils on your diabetes graph!
Correlation does not mean causation.... However.... Common sense and facts are facts.... Yes synthetic soul shoes cause problems.
I'd like to get into grounding but do I have to paint my toenails and drink my piss too?
Grounding? Phooey? Or just beneficial effects of bare feet flexing the toe muscles/ligaments without the restraints of footwear ?
why is this guy ina hat and a vest but is inside ?????????????????????
when using the mats, can you have clothes on?
I have liked and subscribed to your videos, however I think the most important line you said in this video was towards the beginning, "I don't know how many of these benefits have been substantiated by the research".
I am interested in grounding, but nothing you presented moves outside the realm of pseudo-science. Maybe something in the knee inflammation study does this, but it was not convincingly covered here. Further I think you have confused a potential mechanism (addition of electrons) with an actually verified mechanism.
Addition of electrons to the body and reduction of oxidative stresses seem the quintessential example of pseudo-science given these two arguments are not backed in this video by any research.
I will be more skeptical of information you present after video, not less. I hope to see more informative videos in the future.
This article has more information on available research and mechanisms if youre curious

@@DrHoulihan Thank you, briefly reviewing the paper, I find this much more interesting. Thank you and I will be interested if you ever go deeper into this and any other research, I will also read the article in more detail as time allows.
@@lighthearthealth8090 just try it for yourself. I am now a believer
The fact that he tells you up front what he doesn't know and what hasn't been substantiated should make you trust him more, not less. So many people present opinions as facts, that I take it as an instant mark of integrity when someone acknowledges what they don't know.
@@lighthearthealth8090 After recently becoming interested in this myself, and building a grounding mat, I still am not convinced. Every study I've looked at usually has a statement, similar to this one, near the end of the document. "G. Chevalier, S. T. Sinatra, and J. L. Oschman are independent contractors for Earthx L. Inc., the company sponsoring earthing research, and own a small percentage of shares in the company." Many of these studies list "scientists" & sponsors who have a financial interest in selling more Earthing/Grounding products. While I can prove to myself that grounding does produce electrical changes within the body, I can't prove to myself (at least not yet) that these electrical change produce any medical benefit, or injury.
Doctor, have you forgotten microbiology 101? Humans can contract hookworms just like any other mammal can. Recognizing that you have hookworms and being able to find someone to treat them in today’s world will be very difficult. This is some thing most any veterinarian would tell you right out of the gate, wear shoes when ur outside on the ground.. if you live in an area where there are raccoons or opossums , dogs, cats, or other livestock you stand a much higher chance of getting them.
Hookworm is essentially non-existent in the United States, other areas of the world might have to be more cautious
@@DrHoulihan tell that to a veterinarian Pretty positive they would disagree with u on that. In fact the incidence of it has increased since 2012.. U really need to study up on this before u misinform people.
@@tamb7587 If you can show me some data indicating that hookworm is a clear and present danger to a large percentage of the US population I will happily agree, I found no such data
Asking for proof usually ends the conversation...
@Marvel Prince That's the internet for you lol
Transferring electrons? Do you realize that if this were true, you'd be covalently bonding to the ground? If you were covalently bonding to the ground, you couldn't wash dirt off your feet with water. This makes no sense.
If you’re just here to leave your negative comments why are you here? 😂carry on
@@jazzmenmccarty5281 Funny you say that. Electrons are negatively charged. That's why electrons can't be "transferred."
It’s amazing how God had a plan to provide for our needs. EARTH= Trees, plants, etc, all our food comes from the Earth! The Earth’s energy is what keeps us alive. Try connecting and see what happens.😊😊
@@stevenmcvey7363 The earth also contains naturally occurring radioactive materials, which is energy from the earth that will kill you. There are a lot of scammers out there using half-science phrases to sell nonsense.
He said nothing about bonding. Transfer of electrons implies ionic bonding which occurs between metals and non metals. Since the earth has a high concentration of metals, this transaction of highly probable.
Im open to the science but that shoe/diabetes graph is hilarious nonsense
Zero Benefits. One is MUCH better off reading the Bible.
Yea it can be both
