Grounding – also called Earthing – means connecting your body directly to the Earth’s natural electrical energy.

This connection can happen simply by walking barefoot outdoors, or by using grounding tools – like the ones we feature on our site. GroundingWell products are designed to mimic that barefoot effect. They connect to the grounding port of a standard home outlet or a dedicated ground rod, allowing the Earth’s energy to flow through.

Made with conductive materials, TryGrounding products transfer this energy into your body through direct skin contact – helping you reconnect with the Earth's natural charge.

Earthing and Grounding both involve reconnecting to the Earth's subtle, natural energy, and these terms are often used interchangeably.

However, some people draw a distinction between the two. "Earthing" typically refers to direct skin contact with the Earth’s surface—like walking barefoot on grass or sand. "Grounding," in contrast, is often used in electrical contexts, referring to the process of connecting devices to the Earth to prevent shocks or interference. While this technical distinction may matter to engineers or electricians, for most people, the terms are interchangeable when it comes to reconnecting with the Earth's energy for health and wellness.

Reconnecting is easy—just walk barefoot on natural surfaces like grass, sand, or untreated concrete.

Alternatively, you can ground yourself indoors using original, time-tested, durable, and safe TryGrounding products—sometimes called "barefoot substitutes." These tools let you connect to the Earth’s energy in modern environments. Learn more about them on our website.

The technology behind TryGrounding products is simple and effective.

All TryGrounding products are made with conductive materials—such as silver threading woven into the sleep systems. These materials allow the Earth’s natural energy to flow through a grounding cord, which connects either to the ground port of a standard electrical outlet or to the optional TryGrounding Ground Rod.

The result? A safe, durable, and reliable connection to the Earth’s energy—even while you sleep. And with a wide range of options at accessible prices, TryGrounding makes it easy to choose the solution that fits your lifestyle best.

Just like humans, pets can benefit from grounding—especially indoor pets that rarely come into contact with the Earth’s natural energy.

Grounding supports similar wellness benefits in animals as it does in people. Many pet owners notice that their pets are instinctively drawn to grounded surfaces. Place a TryGrounding sheet on your bed, and chances are your cat or dog will choose that exact spot to relax or sleep.

The benefits may include reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and even enhanced collagen production. Grounding can also support emotional well-being by helping to lower stress and anxiety in indoor animals.

Customers frequently report that their pets seem to “know” when a product is grounded. While they can’t describe it in words, their behavior speaks volumes—they gravitate toward it, linger on it, and appear noticeably calmer or more comfortable.

While there are currently no formal studies specifically on grounding and neuropathy, there are several compelling reasons to believe it may help:

Grounding has been shown to stimulate circulation. Neuropathy—especially diabetic neuropathy—is often caused by reduced blood supply to the nerves in the hands and feet due to damaged capillaries. By improving blood flow, grounding may support nerve regeneration and healing in these areas.

One of the core causes of neuropathy is inflammation. Grounding allows the body to absorb electrons from the Earth, which may help neutralize positively charged free radicals—major contributors to chronic inflammation. Reducing these radicals could ease nerve inflammation associated with neuropathy.

Some studies suggest that grounding can alleviate chronic pain. Since neuropathy often involves nerve-related pain, grounding may offer relief by influencing the body’s electrical activity and reducing inflammatory responses.

Stress can worsen neuropathy symptoms. Grounding has been reported to produce a calming effect on the nervous system. By lowering stress levels and promoting relaxation, grounding might help mitigate symptom flare-ups.

Quality sleep is critical for nerve repair and pain management. Grounding has been linked to deeper, more restful sleep, which in turn supports overall healing and better symptom control in people with neuropathy.

A particularly noteworthy example comes from Dr. David Richards, a general practitioner who used grounding mats to treat 21 neuropathy patients—all of whom reportedly experienced noticeable improvements.
