Peer-Reviewed Research on Grounding and Earthing Practices

1. Journal of Environmental and Public Health (2012) -
   This study provides a comprehensive review of grounding research, covering effects on sleep, cortisol rhythm, pain reduction, stress, autonomic nervous system function, heart rate variability, wound healing, and blood viscosity. The review examines multiple studies showing grounding's impacts on inflammation, immune responses, and chronic inflammatory conditions.

3. Integrative Medicine: A Clinician's Journal (2011) -
   This study investigated the effects of grounding on heart rate variability (HRV). The research involved 27 individuals and found improvements in HRV after just 20 minutes of grounding, with continued improvement over longer grounding periods. The study highlights the potential cardiovascular benefits of grounding.

4. Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (2013) -
   This study examined the effects of earthing on blood viscosity. The research found a significant reduction in blood viscosity among participants who were grounded, with one study showing a 273% reduction after 2 hours of grounding. The findings suggest potential benefits for cardiovascular health.
