Do Grounding Mats Work? A Complete Review of the Best Earthing Mats
When I first learned about grounding/earthing over 15 years ago, this concept immediately clicked.
It was one of those “Ah ha” moments of clarity. I’ve been walking barefoot on the earth ever since.
But the reality is most of us spend way too much time indoors. And we’re bombarded in every direction with harmful, non-native EMF radiation from our devices.
Thankfully, there are grounding mats that can help us connect to the Earth even when indoors.
In this guide, we’ll explore the science of earthing and if grounding mats work.
Then, we’ll review the best earthing mats on the market. I’ll also show you how to build a copper grounding mat (DIY).
Let’s dive in…

What is Grounding?
Grounding, also called earthing, is the process of connecting your skin to the Earth.
A copper grounding rod is buried beneath the ground next to our homes and connected to every outlet via a grounding wire.
In case of a short circuit, the ground wire provides a path for the electrical current to be absorbed into the ground. This grounding pathway helps avoid a shock or electrocution if you touch the short-circuiting device.

The Science Behind Grounding Mats
Let’s quickly review the principles behind grounding so we can better understand how earthing mats work.
How Does Earthing Work?
The same principle of short-circuiting applies to humans as well.
As Clint Ober and company explain in Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever (2010):
Earthing naturally protects the body’s delicate bioelectrical circuitry against static electrical charges and interference.
Humans are bioelectrical beings.
Unfortunately, various electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) and radiation from our devices (WIFI, Bluetooth, etc) are flooding through us. And our bodies are not designed to handle this unnatural EMF.
From an earthing perspective, our bodies are short-circuiting, leading to the prevalence of various symptoms, including inflammation. (Inflammation is the precursor to most diseases.)
