A simple way to bring the practice of grounding into your everyday routine.
Grounding is the practice of making conductive contact with the Earth. Walking barefoot through the grass, standing in the sand are all natural forms of grounding.
A grounding mat, when properly connected to the ground port of a grounded electrical outlet, is designed to recreate that connection while you're indoors.
Why Ground?
Many people incorporate grounding into their wellness routine to support:
- A greater sense of calm and relaxation
- More restful sleep
- Reduced feelings of stress & anxiety
- Better mood & more energy
- Enhanced recovery & immune support
- Supports hormonal & metabolic balance
- More regular connection with the natural environment
But Is There Research?
Yes — although research is still new and the current evidence is preliminary.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in 2025 followed 60 participants using either a grounded or non-grounded mat for approximately one month. Researchers reported the grounding group showed improvements in several sleep/stress measures, and objectively measured total sleep time increased compared with the control group. The authors concluded that the results provide preliminary evidence for improved sleep quality and reduced stress response.
Earlier research has also explored grounding during sleep and cortisol, one of the hormones involved in the body's stress and sleep-wake response. The study found changes toward a more normal daily cortisol rhythm after sleeping grounded, while participants also reported improvements in sleep and stress.
While the research is newer, we are excited to offer this simple wellness practice with Blackberry Hill.
How to Use
Place your grounding mat where bare skin can make contact with the conductive surface — under your feet at your desk or couch, for example, or in your bed while sleeping. Connect the grounding cord according to the included instructions and enjoy as part of your normal daily or nighttime routine. No electricity is delivered to the mat. The cord connects to the grounding portion of a properly grounded outlet.
