How to Ground Yourself Properly

Connecting with the Earth’s natural energy… While this may sound esoteric, there is a scientifically verifiable explanation: In everyday life, the human body becomes charged and stressed by electrical devices, Wi-Fi, and cell phone signals. Our products—such as the fitted sheet or the desk pad—dissipate this electrostatic charge.

Scientifically proven, not esoteric

The principle of grounding was studied and popularized by, among others, the American researcher Clint Ober (see box). His studies show the following:

Contact with the ground—for example, walking barefoot—has measurable effects on the body's electrical voltage.
Grounding products are connected via a cable to a standard, grounded outlet. They dissipate electrostatic charge. It’s a simple physical process. This reduces the body’s static charge, which has positive health effects.
These processes are based on simple laws of physics: Excess electrical charge can be discharged through the conductive connection to the ground—just like in a surge protector.

Grounding equalizes electrical voltage

With ErdVital, you can bring this sense of naturalness and balance into your home. In this way, you support your well-being in a simple, scientifically understandable way. Grounding balances out electrical tensions in the body that can build up in everyday life due to synthetic materials, electromagnetic pollution, and insulating floors.

Scientific Studies on Grounding

A review study titled “Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine Strategies Should Include Earthing (Grounding)” summarizes the current state of research and explains the scientific basis and clinical observations regarding earthing. Published in 2020. The authors summarize numerous studies and clinical observations. These demonstrate that grounding contributes to health promotion. It is a physically explainable process associated with measurable changes in the body’s electrical and immune status.

Positive Effects on the Body

Grounding has a positive effect on a wide range of physiological processes.

In short: Grounding is an evidence-based method that produces measurable positive effects on physical and physiological health indicators.

Grounding – with mats and mattress pads

Our area of operation: Through our online store, we serve major urban centers. The topic of grounding applies to cities such as Lucerne, Zurich, Bern, and Basel, as well as rural areas and all of Switzerland. At ErdVital, we do not view grounding as a spiritual or esoteric topic, but rather as a process that can be explained by the natural sciences. Your skin is conductive. As soon as you’re connected to the earth’s potential via a conductive grounding system—such as a grounded mat or mattress pad—electrical voltages are balanced out. This process can be objectively measured using a multimeter or a grounding tester.

Scientific Studies

Clint Ober recognized the potential for grounding

Clint Ober is an American, now over 80 years old, who worked in the cable and antenna industry. He observed that we build up electrical voltages when we have no contact with the ground. From this, he developed the concept of grounding or earthing. His work led to simple measurement methods using multimeters, as well as the first grounding products, such as mats and sheets. Clint Ober clarified the principle: When in direct contact with the earth, the human body electrically equalizes with the earth’s potential, the voltage drops, and this effect can be measurably verified at any time. The grounding pioneer conducted an initial double-blind study with 60 participants—and since then, numerous other health studies have followed in the fields of medicine and science.

Grounding—Here's How It Works

Getting Rid of Static Electricity

Electric fields from wires, lights, or appliances charge our bodies in everyday life.

Choose your ErdVital product in the store. Whether for everyday life, work, or sleep—our conductive mats, fitted sheets, and desk pads fit into any setting.

Connect the product to a ground source. This can be a grounded outlet or a special grounding rod in the yard.

When in contact with a grounded surface, the voltage dissipates until the body and the ground are at the same potential.

This process can be explained and demonstrated from a physical standpoint: Without being grounded, the body forms a capacitive connection to the electrical grid, thereby generating body voltages in the range of several volts.

When grounded, the voltage usually drops to a few millivolts.

Naturalness Meets a Certain Way of Life

When there's thunder and lightning

Grounding isn’t a trend—it’s a return to something that has always been a part of us. In a world full of technology, it offers a powerful counterbalance of nature, calm, and balance. Many users report increased vitality, deeper sleep, and an overall sense of physical harmony.

Enjoy more peace and quiet

With ErdVital, you can ground yourself easily, safely, and permanently. You’ll enjoy greater peace of mind, a natural sense of balance, and a new feeling of connection to nature—all without ever having to step outside.

Comparison of Measurements

Body voltage before and after grounding (multimeter measurement)

Comparison of measured body voltage before and after grounding (multimeter measurement)
Product	Measured value without grounding (V)	Measured value with grounding (V)	Grounding product
ErdVital Mattress Topper	2.5	0.08	Conductive fitted sheet with grounding connection to a power outlet
ErdVital Workplace Mat	1.9	0.05	Antistatic work mat with grounding connection
ErdVital Relax Pad	2.2	0.07	Flexible grounding mat for sofas or armchairs
The measurements were taken under comparable conditions using a standard multimeter. A clearly visible drop in voltage indicates that voltage equalization through grounding has been successful.
