The hippies were right all along! Grounding yourself with the Earth, will actually decrease inflammation in the body. Scientific research now confirms this and since we're now also discussing healthy living on this board, I thought I'd let you guys know. This actually seems like a really big missing piece of our health puzzle.
What it comes down to is that your cells are batteries and if you don't ground yourself this will result in a constant 2v charge in your body. This results in inflammation in the body which is a root cause of many problems in the body.
This is an hour long documentary on the subject. If you want to skip to the science part, go to the 26:55 mark.

There are several websites where you find products that help you to ground yourself during the day or while sleeping.
Sooooo, if I go stand in the grass or anywhere outside on a non man-made surface barefoot I’m grounded?
Yes you are. Soil and rock will ground you, but standing on wood is not the best way to ground yourself.
nice! actually have a pad in my office that you plug into the bottom of an outlet that i put my bare feet
