I’ve heard bits and pieces about the practice of grounding (going barefoot on the grass/ground or using a grounding machine) for supposed health benefits. Is it something that has any scientific merit at all like how neuroscientists have found that yoga/mindfulness can have positive effects. Or is it more like crystal healing and firmly in the realm of utter bullshit? Can it even be studied properly under the scientific method (basically can it be disproven or proven or is it one of these we technically might never know things?)

Do you know what they call alternative medicine that’s been proved to work?
Medicine.
The idea is that since we now have rubber shoe soles, that the electrons from the earth don’t touch our feet and have antioxidant effects. It’s, frankly, laughably stupid.
>Can it even be studied properly under the scientific method
Yes. Often studies for pseudoscience are hard to find, because nobody’s going to fund obvious bunk.
