Abstract

Overview

The increasing body of research focuses on how grounding or earthing the body could potentially enhance biological performance and assist in treating non-communicable diseases.

Findings

• Grounding initiatives might be affected by certain challenges and inappropriate applications, needing consideration of additional confounding factors.
• Proposing the expansion of electromagnetic hygiene measures could reduce the risks of communicable diseases, respiratory issues, neurodegenerative diseases, and overall mortality.
• Identifying and utilizing potential synergies may help in enhancing the efficacy of interventions.

Conclusion

This review aims to inspire and facilitate further interdisciplinary research, improve best practices, and influence policy-making in the areas of medical innovation and bioelectromagnetic-based therapies. This could lead to healthier built environments and the design of future technologies.
