I am blessed to live in Uganda, which has a climate which allows me to ground every day of the year. I saw one of your videos on grounding about four years ago and since then I have been having morning devotions sitting in the garden for one hour with my bare feet on the ground. I now do it automatically without even thinking that I am grounding. I can't say what the difference would have been if I hadn't been grounding, but I can testify that at 70 years old, I have no health problems and haven't in four years had even so much as a headache or any kind of sickness. I am very thankful to review the benefits in this video, and will keep on grounding until the day I am laid in the ground, which thanks to grounding and maintaining a healthy diet and life style. I think will not be for quite a few years to come!
I recently flew from Melbourne to Spain, 25 hour trip. Upon arrival, I earthed in the grass and slept over a grounding mat in my bed at night. Next day, I was fresh and normalized. One night is all it took. I slept 9 hours straight. No jet lag. Just tired of the trip.
Recently had a bout with sciatica. Pulled out my earthing mat and have been doing it consistently for a week for 2-3 hours a day and I am beyond pleased that sciatica GONE!!! Thanks Doc.
I sleep grounded every night using your cotton grounding cloth. I also make sure to touch the earth everyday. Grounding is amazing! All my body pain, which I’ve had for years, is completely gone!
I literally, not kidding, got tingly goosebumps while listening to you talk about the global electrical circuit and other related phenomena. Every cell in my body knows you are speaking the truth.
This is the most concise and best overview I have seen on earthing. I discovered grounding years ago by spending time with my horses and being grounded by them. After feeling the benefits and then trying to figure out why I was experiencing a total body and mind shift, I found the grounding/earthing information. I've done trauma and grief work for 30 years and have found that helping clients incorporate physical grounding techniques as well as the psychological grounding makes a huge difference. Except in winter months in Chicago, most of our coaching sessions are outside with the horses where we can be grounded. If it's too cold to be barefoot we sit in metal chairs which also grounds them. When I built my office in the barn it has a 4x8 foot area where we can sit with our feet on the ground in winter. The horses know this naturally. When they are inside on rubber mats overnight the first thing they do when they get outside is roll on the earth in the mornings. I'll share this link and your products with my networks. I work with a lot of first responders so it's a hard sell on the "woo woo crap" as they cal it - but they need it. Before we talk about tit we go outside and sit on the ground and do some slow breathing exercises and meditation. Then we talk about the science of what just happened. You are awesome! Keep spreading the word.
Thank you so much Dr. Konivar, tonight is my very first night grounding, and the CZcams algorithm has finally got it right! I wasn’t skeptical but I’ve only heard about grounding through my new found spirtual awakening. You’ve done an amzing job of explaining the benefits but more importantly how ease of be mindful to plug into the beautiful nature of energy for FREE! Im 31 years old and I truly believe I’ve been gifted with such great wisdom. I look forward in sharing my progress as well as following intuition-phsycian!
Besides the intelligence of your information, you are my #1 source on grounding because of that particular light shining in your eyes, which I recognize. It's just as you describe in your book when you say that you saw it in the eyes of your newborn daughter. It's very rare.
Oh my goodness I just downloaded your audiobook! I love it the most in-depth explaination of grounding I have ever heard. This is amazing! So glad I found it! I have been grounding for a few years now but I don’t think anyone I tell takes me seriously but you explain it so well! Thank you! 🌎🌲👣
I LOVE this new understanding of why it works. I think it's cool that we can involve our mind in understanding, and that helps the power of it all even more. Right use of mine, ha ha. And I love that you continue to put out such a beautiful, consistent, inspiring, and well researched message about grounding. This is a great benefit to the world!
Heartfelt gratitude to Dr Koniver. Received stake and wristband. It was wrapped, signed like a gift.. such a sweet experience opening your products.Love, love your work, your “brand” such an inspiration. First night sleeping with the wristband and stake outside. May sound like hyperbole if I described how I am feeling, and how I slept last night. I’ll wait, do it for 30 days, then describe it, share it on social media..🌏🌍🌎
Awww thank you so much - that is the sweetest comment I’ve read in a long time and I appreciate it. Thank you so much for leaving that kind testimonial for other people to understand the healing power of grounding tools. I really appreciate you. XOXO, Laura
I've been being barefoot as much as possible since I watched your video about only one week and this sounds crazy, but Im having improvement's with digestion & going to the bathroom (sorry to give so much personal info, but not going is SO vital even dangerous). Its a miracle, I've been struggling severely. What if we slept in a tent? I understand no rubber, what about a blanket & tent? I want to sleep on the ground, I'm getting the sheets soon as I can save the money. Thank you so much
I'm so glad to hear this!!! A tent and thicker fabrics will most likely keep you ungrounded, but you could run a ground stake into the tent with you and sleep on a grounded mat and you will be grounded -- you can even run that into your bedroom and skip the tent all together and sleep grounded: intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/grounding-sleep-systems
I'm seriously contemplating sleeping in the crawlspace under the house on a thin cotton sheet. What we need is a "sleep pod" that has a conductive bottom and covers us like a roomy cocoon and keeps out rain and bugs. Just something big enough to lie down in and zip up.
Actually I do have a sleeping bag made out of conductive material. If you’re laying right on the earth then you can ground straight through it and it will also shield you from EMS. I’ll grab you a link hold on one sec
So it allows grounding to go straight through so when you’re sleeping on the earth is perfect and it covers you. It’s not going to work with a ground cord inside but for outdoor Grounding it’s amazing
Laura you're a Real One. I'm really into the Spiritual aspects, I love hearing the science elements of it too. Will be sharing this, thank you for sharing your Insight :) 🥰
Beautiful explanation of grounding!!! Thank you Dr Laura!! ...BTW...Once upon a time..I tried 'some' grounding mat from 'some unknown company' a number of years ago..I put it under my lower legs while on a recliner chair with legs elevated. At first I felt good for about 15 minutes, almost strangely euphoric; and the feeling began to travel up my body. BUT when it got to my abdomen I began to feel very strange, and then I began to feel pure discomfort!! I decided to disconnect the pad, but the effects continued to linger for weeks to months, as I recall!!! I threw away that pad, needless to say!!! I can't even recall who I bought it from now..But I'm thinking it was contaminated AC energy flowing in with that cord connection?!? Dirty electricity??? Not really sure, but a bad experience with long lasting repercussions!!...So just a heads up to all who might care.. I'm assuming all pads and cords are not created equal!!! I have decided to finally try once again with your PURE GROUNDING CORD that you say filters out the AC current and protects from any surges etc..I have simply ordered the wristband with this pure grounding safety cord..I'm hoping for better results this time..as I can't afford another repeat of that former experience!! I already have too many physical needs right now, to create another one, while just trying to heal!!! ..I'm trusting in your integrity, that your device will be safe and helpful ..I'm awaiting delivery in 4 to 6 weeks..Wish it was sooner , but I understand..Supply and demand and shipment are factors..Thanks for your information and health products offered..( I would suggest the pure grounding cord for all actually..) But I will see for myself, for sure; after delivery and usage ensue..Thank you for trying to help humanity..We need all the TLC we can get!!!
4:23 The “Carnegie curve” describes the diurnal variation of the global atmospheric electric circuit. It was originally found from atmospheric electric potential gradient (PG) measurements made on the Carnegie, effectively a floating atmospheric electrical observatory, which undertook global cruises between 1915 and 1929
This is great information on grounding. I became aware of grounding from a physiotherapist. I have scoliosis and I noticed that sitting/ lying on grass or sand are the only times my back does not hurt. I feel more and more at ease the longer I sit. I live in the Caribbean and have never heard about grounding before even though our islands are full of greenery. I find lying down on the earth or on the sand to be very comforting. Is it true that sand is also grounding ? Didn’t hear it mentioned. Thank you for such a great video.
Omg ! I just found you ,and you put into words what I have told my family for years.If I can't walk barefoot outside on grass and garden dirt,I start to feel ill and can't sleep,and have severe headaches, etc...I told them it's like my meditation..now I can prove to them my Chakra were not lying..and I'm a Registeredd Nurse ! Thankyou..what do you recommend for night shift workers? I'm 58 yrs old
I would recommend immediately after you shift, going outside to ground to the earth for 15 minutes (or more) and then head to bed. Grounding will help deepen your sleep and relax your muscles. xoxox
Dr. Koniver discusses some of the reasons why grounding is good for the human body. However, the most important reason why grounding works is the reduction of positive alternating current voltage that is induced on the human body by extremely low frequency EMF pollution. Positive alternating current voltages disrupt the voltage gated ion channels throughout the entire body!
Great fantastic 🙏 Knowledge...very very much benifited by your therapy nd different courses 🙏🙏thankyou so much Respected Dr Laura koniver..All the best ✨✨✨🌸🌸
I love 💘 you. I ground everyday. lt make me new person. Grounding is amazing to recover body and mental . You are so beautiful doctor. Thanks for your time.
You're amazing and informative 😊. Also a good soul. I am a Clinician L.Ac and use Grounding With my Acupuncture treatments. I also add Resonance breathing. Amazing Results . Do you have links to some of those studies you mentioned? I love reading Studies . I have been grounding outdoors even in cold weather for a few months. But I did also buy indoor mats from Clint Ober company. I have noticed Dramatic improvement in my Sleep and HRV. Sleep issues were my bottleneck to health
Yes I keep a running list of medical studies on grounding here: intuition-physician.com/safe-grounding/. bookmark this page and visit often for updates! xoxo, Laura
Is it the variable frequencies or the flow of electrons that actually heal? I was under the impression we were flooding our body with electrons that neutralize free radicals which is what heals us. The earth is in effect donating the electron that was lost. I love that you're out there sharing this info
Dr. Laura, I enjoy your bed grounding pad and cover for it but here is my question. You talk about grounding yourself outside on the grass for at least 15 min a day. How much difference is there between 15 min in the grass and 15 min on your grounding pad inside? Is it equivalent or is 15 min of grass equivalent to say 5 hours of a grounding pad, for instance? Personally I sleep grounded and have a grounding pad at my computer where I spend a lot of time and also a grounding pad in front of my chair to watch TV from. So I am grounded probably at least 14 hours a day for a couple of years now and have not been sick with the flu or covid or anything. How much of all that feeling good is due to grounding I have no clue but here is what makes sense to me. God made man from the "ground". God knew we would get sick and needed a "natural" way to stay healthy as much as possible and so He made the whole earth give off DC current to keep us in harmony with the earth that He made us from to keep us healthy. Since our bodies are electrical it just makes sense that staying in harmony with the earth is far more important than even pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals is man's way of trying to keep us healthy and is expensive but man's way seems less beneficial than God's way of grounding. It is hard for man to compete with God on things like this. Just look at how health overall has deteriorated over the past 80 years when pharmaceuticals were just getting started in a much bigger way. I'm certainly not saying drop your meds but simply try grounding and see if your overall health seems to improve enough over time to drop a med or two. Thanks for the great scientific explanation for grounding. That is very helpful.
There haven't been any definitive studies comparing minute for minute indoor vs outside -- I would say in terms of grounding they are equivalent but that there are so many other benefits to being outside (Vit D, light exposure, seeing greenery, plant essential oils, microbiota that strengthens our immune system, etc...) that being outside is best. xoxo
Hi Dr. Koniver, I have a Lourdes Hydrofix and have been using it to consume molecular hydrogen for about a year now. I have noticed amazing health improvements, being as my health was rather poor to begin with. I know that the body sucks up electrons from the earth when you're grounding, and those electrons help the mitochondria to function a lot better. Molecular hydrogen also helps the mitochondria to be a lot healthier. Do you perhaps know where I can find in-depth information (preferably in written form) about how grounding works exactly? I would like to find out more about how these 2 healing modalities compare with each other.
Considering the carnegie curve’s peak time is 7p is that the best time to ground outside? Also am i still getting grounding effects from sitting in a chair with my feet on the ground?
We are similar to batteries. Quite electrical ⚡️ Great video on earthing once again, Laura. Sometimes when I need a good refresher, I would rewatch this 💡
Hi Dr Laura, I want to start grounding. I live on the second floor and I do have a balcony with a cement floor. Could I sit there to ground? What kind of mat could I sit on? Thank you for your response.
Some folks ground on a balcony if they have a tree that is growing up from the ground that reaches it and you can touch a leaf! Otherwise I would probably recommend one of my organic grounding mats to use on the balcony -- you can run a ground stake up to the second floor or plug into a grounded outlet if you have an outdoor outlet on your balcony: intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/grounding-sleep-systems/products/organic-grounding-mat-soft-and-eco-friendly-grounding
She is fair to look upon 😎 No ummmmm’s, you know, like, literally, smacking of the lips Repeating the same word twice. Very fluent and precise speaking abilities, well done,
If you clip it to something conductive (a grounding tool, a metal baking sheet, even just a piece of wire screen mesh) then that item will become fully grounded, but non-conductive items will not be able to be grounded even if they were laying directly on the earth (which is why your rubber sole shoe does not become grounded when you are walking on the earth). xoxo
I’ve been seeing people use a “staff” made of copper and a tens unit that they use for grounding, what difference does the tens unit make compared to just regular grounding?
This makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing! I have a quick question: I’m going on a cruise this week and am bringing my grounding mat, but do you think I can ground on a ship?
I am pretty sure that ships have grounded outlets because the ship is grounded via it's metal hull in the water, but I think you should double check with the staff on board to be sure! And bring an outlet tester with you. xoxox, Laura
Question on the Carnegie Curve. If its peak is at 7pm does that mean grounding at that time at nite is the most beneficial time to do so? Thx very much.
There are no studies as of yet that look at if timing of the day makes a difference in grounding results, I can see why you may hypothesize that it does -- it's a super interesting idea -- we just don't have studies to confirm this yet! xoxo Laura
They are all equally powerful -- it depends on what you want to use it for, but probably the most versatile is the organic grounding mat, because you can use it during the day in many different applications as well as sleep on it at night! That or the organic grounding throw which is easy to use on a sofa, in bed, and travel with! Looking forward to sending a healing tool your way... xoxoxo
Yes, absolutely, dreams happen when a full, healing cycle of sleep occurs and involved REM sleep. When grounded, sleep becomes deeper and many patients report increased recall of dreams as they spend longer in REM sleep and wake more restorative. Similar results with melatonin use -- more REM sleep = more dreams! I hope that helps... xoxo, Laura
I'm wondering: dr sinatra, in his book about grounding, said that we get inundated with positive electrons from all the emf-producing equipment, and that the earth has negatively-charged electrons, which effectively cancel the positive ones. However, now that I'm studying electricity, I read that electrons are negatively-charged particles. Do you know what the deal is with that?
I have no idea why Dr. Sinatra would describe an electron as having a positive charge, it must have been a typo/mistake and he meant a proton? Not sure, unfortunately Dr. Sinatra recently passed away or I would ask him! xoxo, Laura
I would use a grounded topper like this: intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/grounding/products/sleep-restore-grounding-pad-full-surface-grounding-for-your-bed and make sure to secure the cord by running it under the mattress. xoxo
Yes, there are countless health benefits to grounding -- you might like to start by looking over some of the free healing articles and medical studies I have posted for you on this page: www.intuition-physician.com/safe-grounding/. I also highly recommend you sign up for my free weekly newsletter -- I cover lots of holistic health topics but grounding is something I almost always touch on!

@@laurakonivermd thank you being kind and considerate Dr Koniver for replying… like some others that have had quick results… do some individuals have slower results and still be getting some good effects and might it take some longer than others … I have had some better sleep at times and when I overdo it which I’m bad at, seems I can snap back quicker sometimes… have been grounding but not every day … did an hour today … got a new grounding mat today and two bracelets… weather’s just not conducive for grounding all the time… I’m 74 … and really really want to be better and feel good… thanks again.. feel free to share any thoughts 😁‼️👍🏻
I am so sorry but the truth is a voltmeter can not measure grounding. It is impossible to test a grounding tool using a voltmeter (this is a trick that other grounding companies use to show grounding but it is invalid, you can only test grounding through a grounding test meter.) Grounding is a DC current (not AC) and so what you are measuring with a multimeter is if AC current is going into a person or not, which does not tell you anything about grounding, it's two separate issues. If you are interested in a grounding test meter I do have a video demonstrating how to use it here: czcams.com/video/2yKtdbw5v8s/video.html xoxoxox, Laura
@@laurakonivermd thank you so much doc! I’m so grateful for your reply! I truly believe in the benefits of grounding, and just want to be sure What I’m doing is working correctly. I will watch this video now ♥️😊
Hey question- do you think modern pools provide grounding? Do you think that the pool cement and materials conduct earth's electricity? Or do they make barriers in the construction of them that prevents that? I'm just wondering because I always felt so much better in the summer teaching swimming lessons than the school year... wondering if it is the many hours spent daily in the pool that provided grounding energy? Idk.
Yes absolutely it's grounded. Because the water filtration unit is grounded, all the water is as well, regardless of what the sides/exterior of the pool is made out of. In the same way, even hot tubs that are made from plastic and up out of the ground have grounded water. I have a video and TikToks demonstrating this for you if you want to see! xoxo, Laura
@@laurakonivermd yes! I'll have to look for that in your videos here. Thanks!!! I wanted to know because I spent almost every day of my summers as a kid in the pool....I know there are many toxic and positive factors associated with swimming (sunlight etc), but I wondered about grounding and want to test a theory...I got at least 2 hours of grounding a day teaching swimming lessons then and I want to test that now. My family and I have been turning off the breakers to our rooms and wifi router to our house at night for the last 6 weeks and it has been a dramatic difference for us in many ways. So, I want to test hours of grounding outside with movement and see if it provides substantial benefit as well. Our emotional baseline is so much more calm! Just had a geovital home assessment too!🙌🙌❤ anyway, thank you for educating on this!!
It varies. Whether you can feel the benefit from grounding or not doesn’t matter to the cells in your body, which are reaping the benefits of touching the earth. On a macroscopic level, you may not feel any change occur but on a microscopic level, your blood is flowing more freely, your central nervous system has been soothed, your inflammation is being reduced as electrons wash all over your body, removing some of the wear and tear your body has weathered since your last grounding session. Don’t get frustrated and stop grounding if you don’t feel immediate benefits. Your body will thank you for the consistent support over time. xoxo
Question: If you put a copper rod in the ground, and you put your hand around it, I assume you are grounded, correct? Why I am asking is that walking barefoot in the yard is a problem because of chiggers.
Yes you are 100% correct. I even make a Grounding cane that you can hold in your hand that serve the exact same purpose if you want to check it out here: intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/outdoor-grounding-tools/products/grounded-walking-stick-ground-through-your-hands
Dr Koniver.... I have to ask you a question... Ive been a well balanced vegan for a while now and was doing great but recently I reintroduced dairy in the form of cottage cheese and sour cream (by accident) into my diet briefly. It turned out to be a huge mistake and I won't try it again. I have been grounding whenever I can. I ground throughout the night with a grounding pillow and a wire attached to my wrist. Whenever I work at my computer, which is often, my feet are on a sheet of sheet metal that is grounded. When I tried my dairy experiment, I felt it's effects within two days. One thing that happened that blew my mind that I wanted to share with you is my feet began to swell while grounding. I didn't freak out because I felt this had something to do with all the dairy I ate. I took some NAC and Curcumin with lemon water and went to bed and when I woke up my feet had returned to normal. Right now, I'm grounding and my feet are beginning to swell again but not as much. I know that this will pass so I'm not sweating it but is this a normal reaction to grounding when we consume foods that inflame us? No other part of my body seemed affected in any real way with the exception of some nasal congestion and skin itching. I don't feel the need to ever eat dairy again because I pay attention to the balance of the foods I eat, especially the essential amino acid profile plus I supplement, mostly with plant and mushroom compounds. But again, was this swelling grounding's way of eliminating/combating inflammatory markers? I've never experienced this before until now.
Definitely the body can become inflamed and create extra fluid from that inflammation in reaction to foods that our body reacts to, but I have not seen this with grounding alone. I would tend to think it's more because of gravity having the feet swell during the day when in a prone position after being in a supine position (with decreased swelling from the election of your feet as you sleep) all night long. I hope this resolves soon for you! I would keep grounding as I feel the improvement in your circulation from grounding is likely helping this reaction resolve more quickly than it would if you are not grounding. xoxo, Laura
@@laurakonivermd It has already resolved itself. It only occurred while grounding. I used a few supplements before going to sleep and woke up with no issues. I grounded, through the feet and it redeveloped again but it;s no longer an issue. Thank U Dr Koniver..
I would stick with outdoor grounding to the earth (instead of indoor ground tools) and if your doctor told you you were a high risk for bleeding (for example if you have a blood disorder) then ask your in person physician or avoid altogether. xoxo, Laura
Hmmm i’m really not sure, I know that grounding helps improve blood flow so I would think that it would help drain edema if that’s what your swelling is from, so it sort of makes me feel like it’s more of an allergic reaction, hives, heat rash, do you feel like it’s from the heat or from an exposure outside or do you really feel like it’s just the ground in? If you ground through your hands instead to your hands well? I’m not sure why this would be the case but it’s an interesting question and thank you for asking.
@@laurakonivermd idk. I will try using hands instead of feet to ground. I feel like it's a 2nd Chakra energy flow blockage. I will continue to work on this.
I started earthing about a week ago by standing or sitting on the grass for 30-45 minutes every day. Then all of a sudden I got the flu! I never ever get sick. Would this be a “detox” reaction of grounding?
No, I don't feel there is such thing as a detox to grounding, so either it is a coincidence or possibly there are some strong harmful EMFs in the area you are grounding -- here's how this might be affecting you: www.intuition-physician.com/safe-grounding-coalition/
@@laurakonivermd I read the first 4 articles and am now certain that you have no idea what you’re talking about. You publish single author studies in low impact and potentially predatory journals that no one has ever heard of, cite other research published in the same journals and in your Elsevier article you try to conflate the proven positive health benefits of walking, exercise, yoga with the unscientific practice of standing on dirt. If you “walk grounded” you benefit from the walking not the grounding etc. And what a surprise that you use this poor quality “peer-reviewed research” to make money. This is the definition of a scam artist. Publish primary research with double blinded human randomized control trials in NEJM or Science or Nature or The Lancet and then you might have a leg to stand on.
Hi how are you? So kind of you Laura Question: Is every ground floor is good for grounding ? a tile floor of your lounge or bedroom on ground floor so I can sit bare feet to get DC ? first or second floors are not good for grounding because no DC on upper floors, Thank you from Lahore Pakistan
If the floor is cement or concrete slab directly on the earth, if it’s all natural tile and it has no insulation underneath and it has no paint on top sealing it off, then yes it’s possible it could ground you. I would recommend using a ground test meter to double check that you were grounded with bare feet on that floor. I know I’m grounded in my garage and many people can get grounded in their basements by doing the same thing. However if you have any kind of carpet, insulation, if your home is up with a crawlspace underneath it, all of these things would completely cut you off and it would not be grounded. Dried out wood, lumber, none of that will ground you. I hope that helps!
@@laurakonivermd So kind of you for your reply kindly tell me how can I buy grounding testing meter from you ? I dont have paypal I can send money through bank or western union service. Question If you drink 2 glasses of water first think in the morning on an empty stomach & then go for a grounding walk ok a grass will it help more? I appreciate it.
So what you’re saying is that the best time to ground may be at 7pm at that peak? Also, are you saying that natural clothing materials conduct & don’t block grounding ie: wool, cotton clothes & leather, animal skin shoes?
I don't want to go that far -- I think grounding any time is healing for sure and we don't have any double blinded studies yet on timing of grounding so I don't want to make a guess on that. Yes, some natural fibers -- like the ones mentioned -- allow grounding through as long as they are thin and there is moisture present. If super think or super dry it's unlikely. You can test it with a ground test meter though to find out! intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/grounding-accessories/products/copy-of-ground-tester-securely-test-that-you-are-grounded. xoxox, Laura
So I've been grounding for about a week then I broke out in a rash. It's getting a little worse. Is it possilbe that it is due to the grounding? Seems odd that its possible but there is something know as a correction response.
Hi Elizabeth! That is odd, can you tell me more? Are you going outside or using an indoor grounding tool and a bit more about exactly how you are doing it and how long each session? I'll try to help you as best as I can! xoxo, Laura
The science I firmly believe. I am grounding as much as I can. To refer, however, to 'Mother Earth' is displeasing to Almighty God and the LORD Jesus Christ. He alone has provided this goodness in the earth for all mankind. The just and the unjust, because he is gracious. "They worshipped and served the creature more than the creator, who is blessed for ever, Amen. Romans ch. 1. KJV.
I think the body heals and it is independent of what medications you might need -- it's not really one or the other it might be (depending on the medication and how necessary it is, like insulin or an antibiotic or thyroid replacement, for example) that both come together to bring you to your highest health potential! I love to combine holistic and conventional medical approaches and use the strength of each to support the body the best. xoxox, Laura
@@laurakonivermd Thanks for replying/helping. I would love to heal totally not just cope with supplements. Thanks for all your hard work explaining grounding. God bless!
It’s a sad state of affairs when we need doctors to tell us to go outside. Worse yet, there are debunkers with phds who suggest we don’t really need to go outside.
Apart from grounding my other obsession 🤣is music and hifi so I stumbled on an idea of mechanically grounding my speakers, tbh It wasn't totally all my contrivance as a hi end manufacturer has put this idea into being,to cut a short story long 🤣my idea was to use leather as a grounding agent and I must say I am bowled at how well it works
I'm not sure, it boosts circulation so probably not that, but possibly this is the sensation you are getting in your central nervous system, possibly grounding is affecting your cord body temperature and making you feel cooler? Interesting... xoxo

But i think by my personal expirense earthing is more spirtual practise then physical . . . My body starts to vibrate after 2 to 3 minutes of earthing . . . I feel Strong sensetions on my base of spine . . . After 15 to 20 minutes my heart chakra point become blissfull . . . So much peace inside . .. after 35 to 40 minutes i feel strong vibes on 3rd eye point and feels ecsatsy . . . when first time this happen i feard . . . Stop earthing and search about ecstacy and found sadhguru' s word " when your energies become pleasent you feel bliss when its become very pleasent you feel ecsatcy . . .

@@laurakonivermd Well you are the finest looking Dr, despite the grey :) I have to say I have been watching your videos and joined your site, and the info is terrific, and I have been grounding for two weeks now and trying to learn as much as possible Thank you for sharing your secrets to help us all.
I ordered over 200.00 in products almost 3 weeks ago. I haven't received anything, and there's no way to reach this person, Laura Koniver. I guess I will file a fraud report with credit card company
You can do that, or you can simply send an email through the contact page on my website that’s how you can contact me easily and request I cancel your order. Or as stated in your confirmation email as well as on my website, you can understand that these items are all custom-made per order and take me about three weeks to have ready to ship, but if you don’t want to wait one more week just send me an email with your order number through my contact form and I will cancel that for you.
Received 3 were exactly after ordering. All I ordered was 3 grounding rods. They were wrapped beautifully, and u have already given 2 of them away. Currently grounding with a full carbon mattress sheet. They last forever, i will never have to replace. I feel like I'm in a cocoon. I don't want to get out of bed! Thank you very much
As an electrical engineer, everything this woman says makes me cringe. She may have a medical degree, but she hasn't a clue about basic electricity and physics.
I am blessed to live in Uganda, which has a climate which allows me to ground every day of the year. I saw one of your videos on grounding about four years ago and since then I have been having morning devotions sitting in the garden for one hour with my bare feet on the ground. I now do it automatically without even thinking that I am grounding. I can't say what the difference would have been if I hadn't been grounding, but I can testify that at 70 years old, I have no health problems and haven't in four years had even so much as a headache or any kind of sickness. I am very thankful to review the benefits in this video, and will keep on grounding until the day I am laid in the ground, which thanks to grounding and maintaining a healthy diet and life style. I think will not be for quite a few years to come!

I recently flew from Melbourne to Spain, 25 hour trip. Upon arrival, I earthed in the grass and slept over a grounding mat in my bed at night. Next day, I was fresh and normalized. One night is all it took. I slept 9 hours straight. No jet lag. Just tired of the trip.
Recently had a bout with sciatica. Pulled out my earthing mat and have been doing it consistently for a week for 2-3 hours a day and I am beyond pleased that sciatica GONE!!! Thanks Doc.
I sleep grounded every night using your cotton grounding cloth. I also make sure to touch the earth everyday. Grounding is amazing! All my body pain, which I’ve had for years, is completely gone!
Aww that's so awesome to hear!!!! xoxoxo
I literally, not kidding, got tingly goosebumps while listening to you talk about the global electrical circuit and other related phenomena. Every cell in my body knows you are speaking the truth.
Thank you so much, I really really appreciate your visceral "knowing" about this and sharing that here for others to feel as well! ((((xoxoxo))) Laura
I 1st seen Dr Laura on Gaia TV.
Mother Earth has taken a lot of abuse.Good humans are going to help her recover now.
This is the most concise and best overview I have seen on earthing. I discovered grounding years ago by spending time with my horses and being grounded by them. After feeling the benefits and then trying to figure out why I was experiencing a total body and mind shift, I found the grounding/earthing information. I've done trauma and grief work for 30 years and have found that helping clients incorporate physical grounding techniques as well as the psychological grounding makes a huge difference. Except in winter months in Chicago, most of our coaching sessions are outside with the horses where we can be grounded. If it's too cold to be barefoot we sit in metal chairs which also grounds them. When I built my office in the barn it has a 4x8 foot area where we can sit with our feet on the ground in winter. The horses know this naturally. When they are inside on rubber mats overnight the first thing they do when they get outside is roll on the earth in the mornings. I'll share this link and your products with my networks. I work with a lot of first responders so it's a hard sell on the "woo woo crap" as they cal it - but they need it. Before we talk about tit we go outside and sit on the ground and do some slow breathing exercises and meditation. Then we talk about the science of what just happened. You are awesome! Keep spreading the word.
If you are setting in a saddle,are you grounded ?
This info is soooo good ! I am loving Earthing! I feel so much better, now sleep great! 70 yr young.
Thank you so much Dr. Konivar, tonight is my very first night grounding, and the CZcams algorithm has finally got it right! I wasn’t skeptical but I’ve only heard about grounding through my new found spirtual awakening. You’ve done an amzing job of explaining the benefits but more importantly how ease of be mindful to plug into the beautiful nature of energy for FREE! Im 31 years old and I truly believe I’ve been gifted with such great wisdom. I look forward in sharing my progress as well as following intuition-phsycian!
Besides the intelligence of your information, you are my #1 source on grounding because of that particular light shining in your eyes, which I recognize. It's just as you describe in your book when you say that you saw it in the eyes of your newborn daughter. It's very rare.
This is the kindest comment anyone has ever left for me. thank you. (((xoxox)))
Oh my goodness I just downloaded your audiobook! I love it the most in-depth explaination of grounding I have ever heard. This is amazing! So glad I found it! I have been grounding for a few years now but I don’t think anyone I tell takes me seriously but you explain it so well! Thank you! 🌎🌲👣
This is so great to hear, thank you so much for the wonderful feedback!!! (((xoxoxo))) Laura
I LOVE that you explain the science behind these things I always felt a difference when I was practicing grounding and had no idea why. Fascinating!!!
Thank you for spreading the knowledge of grounding/earthing and the benefits people can experience. 😀 - Live Life Grounded!
Thank you Dr Laura for this beautiful reminder today!!!
💕💕💕💕
You are so welcome! ((((xoxoxo)))) Laura
Thanks for the deeper explanation Dr Koniver!!!
My pleasure! xoxoxo, Laura
Laura thank you... you're changing people's lives.
Thank you for your continued work on putting out high quality videos chock-full of great content about earthing and grounding!
You are the greatest MD and woman in hollistic health ever!
Outstanding information from a very intelligent woman!!🐎🤠👍🙏
I LOVE this new understanding of why it works. I think it's cool that we can involve our mind in understanding, and that helps the power of it all even more. Right use of mine, ha ha. And I love that you continue to put out such a beautiful, consistent, inspiring, and well researched message about grounding. This is a great benefit to the world!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! (((xoxoxo))) Laura
such a soothing voice, i can listen to this woman talk all day.
Wow that's so nice of you! xoxo, Laura
Heartfelt gratitude to Dr Koniver. Received stake and wristband. It was wrapped, signed like a gift.. such a sweet experience opening your products.Love, love your work, your “brand” such an inspiration. First night sleeping with the wristband and stake outside. May sound like hyperbole if I described how I am feeling, and how I slept last night. I’ll wait, do it for 30 days, then describe it, share it on social media..🌏🌍🌎
Awww thank you so much - that is the sweetest comment I’ve read in a long time and I appreciate it. Thank you so much for leaving that kind testimonial for other people to understand the healing power of grounding tools. I really appreciate you. XOXO, Laura
I've been being barefoot as much as possible since I watched your video about only one week and this sounds crazy, but Im having improvement's with digestion & going to the bathroom (sorry to give so much personal info, but not going is SO vital even dangerous). Its a miracle, I've been struggling severely. What if we slept in a tent? I understand no rubber, what about a blanket & tent? I want to sleep on the ground, I'm getting the sheets soon as I can save the money. Thank you so much
I'm so glad to hear this!!! A tent and thicker fabrics will most likely keep you ungrounded, but you could run a ground stake into the tent with you and sleep on a grounded mat and you will be grounded -- you can even run that into your bedroom and skip the tent all together and sleep grounded: intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/grounding-sleep-systems
I'm seriously contemplating sleeping in the crawlspace under the house on a thin cotton sheet. What we need is a "sleep pod" that has a conductive bottom and covers us like a roomy cocoon and keeps out rain and bugs. Just something big enough to lie down in and zip up.
Actually I do have a sleeping bag made out of conductive material. If you’re laying right on the earth then you can ground straight through it and it will also shield you from EMS. I’ll grab you a link hold on one sec
intuition-physician.myshopify.com/products/emf-shielding-organic-hemp-sleeping-bag
So it allows grounding to go straight through so when you’re sleeping on the earth is perfect and it covers you. It’s not going to work with a ground cord inside but for outdoor Grounding it’s amazing
Laura you're a Real One. I'm really into the Spiritual aspects, I love hearing the science elements of it too. Will be sharing this, thank you for sharing your Insight :) 🥰
I love the way you explain this, great attention to detail, I combine grounding , eating organic whole foods and fasting. Thanks Doc...💖
Beautiful explanation of grounding!!! Thank you Dr Laura!! ...BTW...Once upon a time..I tried 'some' grounding mat from 'some unknown company' a number of years ago..I put it under my lower legs while on a recliner chair with legs elevated. At first I felt good for about 15 minutes, almost strangely euphoric; and the feeling began to travel up my body. BUT when it got to my abdomen I began to feel very strange, and then I began to feel pure discomfort!! I decided to disconnect the pad, but the effects continued to linger for weeks to months, as I recall!!! I threw away that pad, needless to say!!! I can't even recall who I bought it from now..But I'm thinking it was contaminated AC energy flowing in with that cord connection?!? Dirty electricity??? Not really sure, but a bad experience with long lasting repercussions!!...So just a heads up to all who might care.. I'm assuming all pads and cords are not created equal!!! I have decided to finally try once again with your PURE GROUNDING CORD that you say filters out the AC current and protects from any surges etc..I have simply ordered the wristband with this pure grounding safety cord..I'm hoping for better results this time..as I can't afford another repeat of that former experience!! I already have too many physical needs right now, to create another one, while just trying to heal!!! ..I'm trusting in your integrity, that your device will be safe and helpful ..I'm awaiting delivery in 4 to 6 weeks..Wish it was sooner , but I understand..Supply and demand and shipment are factors..Thanks for your information and health products offered..( I would suggest the pure grounding cord for all actually..) But I will see for myself, for sure; after delivery and usage ensue..Thank you for trying to help humanity..We need all the TLC we can get!!!
4:23 The “Carnegie curve” describes the diurnal variation of the global atmospheric electric circuit. It was originally found from atmospheric electric potential gradient (PG) measurements made on the Carnegie, effectively a floating atmospheric electrical observatory, which undertook global cruises between 1915 and 1929
Yes exactly! Thank you for sharing. xoxo, Laura
Great Morning 🌄,1 st time here,I'm grounding as I type--Kansas City, Missouri 🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
This is great information on grounding. I became aware of grounding from a physiotherapist. I have scoliosis and I noticed that sitting/ lying on grass or sand are the only times my back does not hurt. I feel more and more at ease the longer I sit.
I live in the Caribbean and have never heard about grounding before even though our islands are full of greenery. I find lying down on the earth or on the sand to be very comforting. Is it true that sand is also grounding ? Didn’t hear it mentioned. Thank you for such a great video.
Omg ! I just found you ,and you put into words what I have told my family for years.If I can't walk barefoot outside on grass and garden dirt,I start to feel ill and can't sleep,and have severe headaches, etc...I told them it's like my meditation..now I can prove to them my Chakra were not lying..and I'm a Registeredd Nurse ! Thankyou..what do you recommend for night shift workers? I'm 58 yrs old
I would recommend immediately after you shift, going outside to ground to the earth for 15 minutes (or more) and then head to bed. Grounding will help deepen your sleep and relax your muscles. xoxox
Dr. Koniver discusses some of the reasons why grounding is good for the human body. However, the most important reason why grounding works is the reduction of positive alternating current voltage that is induced on the human body by extremely low frequency EMF pollution. Positive alternating current voltages disrupt the voltage gated ion channels throughout the entire body!
Wow this is brilliant information thank you so much 🙏
Great fantastic 🙏 Knowledge...very very much benifited by your therapy nd different courses 🙏🙏thankyou so much Respected Dr Laura koniver..All the best ✨✨✨🌸🌸
Thank you so very much!!! xoxo, Laura
Great and informative video Dr. Koniver!
Thanks for this
My pleasure! xoxo, Laura
Thank you. Amazing what God provides. The mana of life!
I love 💘 you.
I ground everyday.
lt make me new person.
Grounding is amazing to
recover body and mental .
You are so beautiful doctor.
Thanks for your time.
((((xoxoxo)))) so glad to hear this!!!
You're amazing and informative 😊. Also a good soul. I am a Clinician L.Ac and use Grounding With my Acupuncture treatments. I also add Resonance breathing. Amazing Results . Do you have links to some of those studies you mentioned? I love reading Studies . I have been grounding outdoors even in cold weather for a few months. But I did also buy indoor mats from Clint Ober company. I have noticed Dramatic improvement in my Sleep and HRV. Sleep issues were my bottleneck to health
Yes I keep a running list of medical studies on grounding here: intuition-physician.com/safe-grounding/. bookmark this page and visit often for updates! xoxo, Laura
Is it the variable frequencies or the flow of electrons that actually heal? I was under the impression we were flooding our body with electrons that neutralize free radicals which is what heals us. The earth is in effect donating the electron that was lost. I love that you're out there sharing this info
Dr. Laura, I enjoy your bed grounding pad and cover for it but here is my question. You talk about grounding yourself outside on the grass for at least 15 min a day. How much difference is there between 15 min in the grass and 15 min on your grounding pad inside? Is it equivalent or is 15 min of grass equivalent to say 5 hours of a grounding pad, for instance? Personally I sleep grounded and have a grounding pad at my computer where I spend a lot of time and also a grounding pad in front of my chair to watch TV from. So I am grounded probably at least 14 hours a day for a couple of years now and have not been sick with the flu or covid or anything. How much of all that feeling good is due to grounding I have no clue but here is what makes sense to me. God made man from the "ground". God knew we would get sick and needed a "natural" way to stay healthy as much as possible and so He made the whole earth give off DC current to keep us in harmony with the earth that He made us from to keep us healthy. Since our bodies are electrical it just makes sense that staying in harmony with the earth is far more important than even pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals is man's way of trying to keep us healthy and is expensive but man's way seems less beneficial than God's way of grounding. It is hard for man to compete with God on things like this. Just look at how health overall has deteriorated over the past 80 years when pharmaceuticals were just getting started in a much bigger way. I'm certainly not saying drop your meds but simply try grounding and see if your overall health seems to improve enough over time to drop a med or two. Thanks for the great scientific explanation for grounding. That is very helpful.
There haven't been any definitive studies comparing minute for minute indoor vs outside -- I would say in terms of grounding they are equivalent but that there are so many other benefits to being outside (Vit D, light exposure, seeing greenery, plant essential oils, microbiota that strengthens our immune system, etc...) that being outside is best. xoxo
Hi Dr. Koniver, I have a Lourdes Hydrofix and have been using it to consume molecular hydrogen for about a year now. I have noticed amazing health improvements, being as my health was rather poor to begin with. I know that the body sucks up electrons from the earth when you're grounding, and those electrons help the mitochondria to function a lot better. Molecular hydrogen also helps the mitochondria to be a lot healthier. Do you perhaps know where I can find in-depth information (preferably in written form) about how grounding works exactly? I would like to find out more about how these 2 healing modalities compare with each other.
Considering the carnegie curve’s peak time is 7p is that the best time to ground outside? Also am i still getting grounding effects from sitting in a chair with my feet on the ground?
@Essie Franklin thank you
We are similar to batteries. Quite electrical ⚡️
Great video on earthing once again, Laura. Sometimes when I need a good refresher, I would rewatch this 💡
Hi Dr Laura, I want to start grounding. I live on the second floor and I do have a balcony with a cement floor. Could I sit there to ground? What kind of mat could I sit on? Thank you for your response.
Some folks ground on a balcony if they have a tree that is growing up from the ground that reaches it and you can touch a leaf! Otherwise I would probably recommend one of my organic grounding mats to use on the balcony -- you can run a ground stake up to the second floor or plug into a grounded outlet if you have an outdoor outlet on your balcony: intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/grounding-sleep-systems/products/organic-grounding-mat-soft-and-eco-friendly-grounding
She is fair to look upon 😎
No ummmmm’s, you know, like, literally, smacking of the lips Repeating the same word twice.
Very fluent and precise speaking abilities, well done,
I started back grounding....whenever i step outdoors...i can feel the earths draw on me😊
Thank you Dr. Koniver
Thank you so much! 💚🌳
❤ thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this info! Question: Can I clip the cord to anything, like say, a carpet or a rubber yoga mat, and it will ground?
If you clip it to something conductive (a grounding tool, a metal baking sheet, even just a piece of wire screen mesh) then that item will become fully grounded, but non-conductive items will not be able to be grounded even if they were laying directly on the earth (which is why your rubber sole shoe does not become grounded when you are walking on the earth). xoxo
I’ve been seeing people use a “staff” made of copper and a tens unit that they use for grounding, what difference does the tens unit make compared to just regular grounding?
I have not personally tested that myself so I really can't comment one way or the other on that! xoxo, Laura
This makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing! I have a quick question: I’m going on a cruise this week and am bringing my grounding mat, but do you think I can ground on a ship?
I am pretty sure that ships have grounded outlets because the ship is grounded via it's metal hull in the water, but I think you should double check with the staff on board to be sure! And bring an outlet tester with you. xoxox, Laura
Doctor, I bought a cheaply mattress from Amazon, can I use one of your cords with it?
Yes, you can clip it to any edge of those cheap plastic mats and it will ground you! xoxo
Question on the Carnegie Curve. If its peak is at 7pm does that mean grounding at that time at nite is the most beneficial time to do so? Thx very much.
There are no studies as of yet that look at if timing of the day makes a difference in grounding results, I can see why you may hypothesize that it does -- it's a super interesting idea -- we just don't have studies to confirm this yet! xoxo Laura
I suppose the carnegie curve is responsible for animals knowing when seasons are changing and when they need to migrate etc
Yes, I agree! xoxoxo
please make more videos about grounding,,,,,very interesting,,,,,,,,,
Hey Doc, I’m looking in your site to purchase a grounding tool- what would you recommend (the most powerful)??
They are all equally powerful -- it depends on what you want to use it for, but probably the most versatile is the organic grounding mat, because you can use it during the day in many different applications as well as sleep on it at night! That or the organic grounding throw which is easy to use on a sofa, in bed, and travel with! Looking forward to sending a healing tool your way... xoxoxo
anyone know why you dream more or remembering your dreams more when earthing ?
Yes, absolutely, dreams happen when a full, healing cycle of sleep occurs and involved REM sleep. When grounded, sleep becomes deeper and many patients report increased recall of dreams as they spend longer in REM sleep and wake more restorative. Similar results with melatonin use -- more REM sleep = more dreams! I hope that helps... xoxo, Laura
Do an ASMR Earthing / Grounding video Dr Laura ! ... your subscribers ( and message ) will hugely increase ♥
Great video! Thank you!
do you have to be under open sky during this peak of the Carnigie curve or can you be inside grounded to your mat ?
I'm wondering: dr sinatra, in his book about grounding, said that we get inundated with positive electrons from all the emf-producing equipment, and that the earth has negatively-charged electrons, which effectively cancel the positive ones. However, now that I'm studying electricity, I read that electrons are negatively-charged particles. Do you know what the deal is with that?
I have no idea why Dr. Sinatra would describe an electron as having a positive charge, it must have been a typo/mistake and he meant a proton? Not sure, unfortunately Dr. Sinatra recently passed away or I would ask him! xoxo, Laura
What do suggest for a child's sleeping grounded? Best, safest options?
I would use a grounded topper like this: intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/grounding/products/sleep-restore-grounding-pad-full-surface-grounding-for-your-bed and make sure to secure the cord by running it under the mattress. xoxo

thank you being kind and considerate Dr Koniver for replying… like some others that have had quick results… do some individuals have slower results and still be getting some good effects and might it take some longer than others … I have had some better sleep at times and when I overdo it which I’m bad at, seems I can snap back quicker sometimes… have been grounding but not every day … did an hour today … got a new grounding mat today and two bracelets… weather’s just not conducive for grounding all the time… I’m 74 … and really really want to be better and feel good… thanks again.. feel free to share any thoughts 😁‼️👍🏻
Thanks, good info.
Hi! Do you have a video recommending a multimetor and how to use it to see if body is grounded while on earthing mats?
I am so sorry but the truth is a voltmeter can not measure grounding. It is impossible to test a grounding tool using a voltmeter (this is a trick that other grounding companies use to show grounding but it is invalid, you can only test grounding through a grounding test meter.) Grounding is a DC current (not AC) and so what you are measuring with a multimeter is if AC current is going into a person or not, which does not tell you anything about grounding, it's two separate issues. If you are interested in a grounding test meter I do have a video demonstrating how to use it here: czcams.com/video/2yKtdbw5v8s/video.html xoxoxox, Laura
@@laurakonivermd thank you so much doc! I’m so grateful for your reply! I truly believe in the benefits of grounding, and just want to be sure What I’m doing is working correctly. I will watch this video now ♥️😊
Ok, I dig it all but, what should or could i do at 3am and/or 7pm to maximum the effects and results?
We do not have studies on the timing of grounding yet but being grounded at any time is wonderfully healing for your body!
Hey question- do you think modern pools provide grounding? Do you think that the pool cement and materials conduct earth's electricity? Or do they make barriers in the construction of them that prevents that? I'm just wondering because I always felt so much better in the summer teaching swimming lessons than the school year... wondering if it is the many hours spent daily in the pool that provided grounding energy? Idk.
Yes absolutely it's grounded. Because the water filtration unit is grounded, all the water is as well, regardless of what the sides/exterior of the pool is made out of. In the same way, even hot tubs that are made from plastic and up out of the ground have grounded water. I have a video and TikToks demonstrating this for you if you want to see! xoxo, Laura
@@laurakonivermd yes! I'll have to look for that in your videos here. Thanks!!! I wanted to know because I spent almost every day of my summers as a kid in the pool....I know there are many toxic and positive factors associated with swimming (sunlight etc), but I wondered about grounding and want to test a theory...I got at least 2 hours of grounding a day teaching swimming lessons then and I want to test that now. My family and I have been turning off the breakers to our rooms and wifi router to our house at night for the last 6 weeks and it has been a dramatic difference for us in many ways. So, I want to test hours of grounding outside with movement and see if it provides substantial benefit as well. Our emotional baseline is so much more calm! Just had a geovital home assessment too!🙌🙌❤ anyway, thank you for educating on this!!
How long do you need to ground before you can began feeling a difference in your body?
It varies. Whether you can feel the benefit from grounding or not doesn’t matter to the cells in your body, which are reaping the benefits of touching the earth. On a macroscopic level, you may not feel any change occur but on a microscopic level, your blood is flowing more freely, your central nervous system has been soothed, your inflammation is being reduced as electrons wash all over your body, removing some of the wear and tear your body has weathered since your last grounding session. Don’t get frustrated and stop grounding if you don’t feel immediate benefits. Your body will thank you for the consistent support over time. xoxo
Love it
If I’m in my gunnite pool will I receive any benefits?
Question: If you put a copper rod in the ground, and you put your hand around it, I assume you are grounded, correct? Why I am asking is that walking barefoot in the yard is a problem because of chiggers.
Yes you are 100% correct. I even make a Grounding cane that you can hold in your hand that serve the exact same purpose if you want to check it out here: intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/outdoor-grounding-tools/products/grounded-walking-stick-ground-through-your-hands
Dr Koniver.... I have to ask you a question... Ive been a well balanced vegan for a while now and was doing great but recently I reintroduced dairy in the form of cottage cheese and sour cream (by accident) into my diet briefly. It turned out to be a huge mistake and I won't try it again. I have been grounding whenever I can. I ground throughout the night with a grounding pillow and a wire attached to my wrist. Whenever I work at my computer, which is often, my feet are on a sheet of sheet metal that is grounded. When I tried my dairy experiment, I felt it's effects within two days. One thing that happened that blew my mind that I wanted to share with you is my feet began to swell while grounding. I didn't freak out because I felt this had something to do with all the dairy I ate. I took some NAC and Curcumin with lemon water and went to bed and when I woke up my feet had returned to normal. Right now, I'm grounding and my feet are beginning to swell again but not as much. I know that this will pass so I'm not sweating it but is this a normal reaction to grounding when we consume foods that inflame us? No other part of my body seemed affected in any real way with the exception of some nasal congestion and skin itching. I don't feel the need to ever eat dairy again because I pay attention to the balance of the foods I eat, especially the essential amino acid profile plus I supplement, mostly with plant and mushroom compounds. But again, was this swelling grounding's way of eliminating/combating inflammatory markers? I've never experienced this before until now.
Definitely the body can become inflamed and create extra fluid from that inflammation in reaction to foods that our body reacts to, but I have not seen this with grounding alone. I would tend to think it's more because of gravity having the feet swell during the day when in a prone position after being in a supine position (with decreased swelling from the election of your feet as you sleep) all night long. I hope this resolves soon for you! I would keep grounding as I feel the improvement in your circulation from grounding is likely helping this reaction resolve more quickly than it would if you are not grounding. xoxo, Laura
@@laurakonivermd It has already resolved itself. It only occurred while grounding. I used a few supplements before going to sleep and woke up with no issues. I grounded, through the feet and it redeveloped again but it;s no longer an issue. Thank U Dr Koniver..
Make this a Instagram post!!
I'm trying but it won't seem to upload gah!!! xoxo

Is grounding safe during the first trimester of pregnancy?
I would stick with outdoor grounding to the earth (instead of indoor ground tools) and if your doctor told you you were a high risk for bleeding (for example if you have a blood disorder) then ask your in person physician or avoid altogether. xoxo, Laura
I now do my earthing mat everyday.
i love your videos. question...why do my legs swell when i do earthying/grounding? anyone else experience this? any ideas?
Hmmm i’m really not sure, I know that grounding helps improve blood flow so I would think that it would help drain edema if that’s what your swelling is from, so it sort of makes me feel like it’s more of an allergic reaction, hives, heat rash, do you feel like it’s from the heat or from an exposure outside or do you really feel like it’s just the ground in? If you ground through your hands instead to your hands well? I’m not sure why this would be the case but it’s an interesting question and thank you for asking.
@@laurakonivermd idk. I will try using hands instead of feet to ground. I feel like it's a 2nd Chakra energy flow blockage. I will continue to work on this.
I started earthing about a week ago by standing or sitting on the grass for 30-45 minutes every day. Then all of a sudden I got the flu! I never ever get sick. Would this be a “detox” reaction of grounding?
No, I don't feel there is such thing as a detox to grounding, so either it is a coincidence or possibly there are some strong harmful EMFs in the area you are grounding -- here's how this might be affecting you: www.intuition-physician.com/safe-grounding-coalition/
Link the published, peer reviewed studies
I keep a running list of them for you right here: intuition-physician.com/safe-grounding/
@@laurakonivermd I read the first 4 articles and am now certain that you have no idea what you’re talking about. You publish single author studies in low impact and potentially predatory journals that no one has ever heard of, cite other research published in the same journals and in your Elsevier article you try to conflate the proven positive health benefits of walking, exercise, yoga with the unscientific practice of standing on dirt. If you “walk grounded” you benefit from the walking not the grounding etc.
And what a surprise that you use this poor quality “peer-reviewed research” to make money. This is the definition of a scam artist.
Publish primary research with double blinded human randomized control trials in NEJM or Science or Nature or The Lancet and then you might have a leg to stand on.
Dr. Is it 15 mts a day or 50 mts a day of grounding .
15! Sorry it wasn't more clear! although 50 would be even better, I've seen results with just 15 minutes daily. xoxo
@@laurakonivermd Thank you Dr. for your answer.
Hi how are you? So kind of you Laura
Question: Is every ground floor is good for grounding ? a tile floor of your lounge or bedroom on ground floor so I can sit bare feet to get DC ? first or second floors are not good for grounding because no DC on upper floors,
Thank you from Lahore Pakistan
If the floor is cement or concrete slab directly on the earth, if it’s all natural tile and it has no insulation underneath and it has no paint on top sealing it off, then yes it’s possible it could ground you. I would recommend using a ground test meter to double check that you were grounded with bare feet on that floor. I know I’m grounded in my garage and many people can get grounded in their basements by doing the same thing. However if you have any kind of carpet, insulation, if your home is up with a crawlspace underneath it, all of these things would completely cut you off and it would not be grounded. Dried out wood, lumber, none of that will ground you. I hope that helps!
@@laurakonivermd So kind of you for your reply kindly tell me how can I buy grounding testing meter from you ? I dont have paypal I can send money through bank or western union service.
Question
If you drink 2 glasses of water first think in the morning on an empty stomach & then go for a grounding walk ok a grass will it help more?
I appreciate it.
So what you’re saying is that the best time to ground may be at 7pm at that peak?
Also, are you saying that natural clothing materials conduct & don’t block grounding ie: wool, cotton clothes & leather, animal skin shoes?
I don't want to go that far -- I think grounding any time is healing for sure and we don't have any double blinded studies yet on timing of grounding so I don't want to make a guess on that. Yes, some natural fibers -- like the ones mentioned -- allow grounding through as long as they are thin and there is moisture present. If super think or super dry it's unlikely. You can test it with a ground test meter though to find out! intuition-physician.myshopify.com/collections/grounding-accessories/products/copy-of-ground-tester-securely-test-that-you-are-grounded. xoxox, Laura
@@laurakonivermd just realized that you replied, thanks! Stupid notifications don’t work. Thanks for your answers!👍🏼🙂
So I've been grounding for about a week then I broke out in a rash. It's getting a little worse. Is it possilbe that it is due to the grounding? Seems odd that its possible but there is something know as a correction response.
Hi Elizabeth! That is odd, can you tell me more? Are you going outside or using an indoor grounding tool and a bit more about exactly how you are doing it and how long each session? I'll try to help you as best as I can! xoxo, Laura
I love you
The science I firmly believe. I am grounding as much as I can. To refer, however, to 'Mother Earth' is displeasing to Almighty God and the LORD Jesus Christ. He alone has provided this goodness in the earth for all mankind. The just and the unjust, because he is gracious. "They worshipped and served the creature more than the creator, who is blessed for ever, Amen. Romans ch. 1. KJV.
Can you get grounded by touching a leaf of an indoor plant? Thank you!! :)
You can if you ground the plant -- I made of video about this that might be helpful to you right here: czcams.com/video/UR4AYwAiqAs/video.html
Can you ground without blocking your medicine? Or do you heal and then don't need medicine?
I think the body heals and it is independent of what medications you might need -- it's not really one or the other it might be (depending on the medication and how necessary it is, like insulin or an antibiotic or thyroid replacement, for example) that both come together to bring you to your highest health potential! I love to combine holistic and conventional medical approaches and use the strength of each to support the body the best. xoxox, Laura
@@laurakonivermd Thanks for replying/helping. I would love to heal totally not just cope with supplements. Thanks for all your hard work explaining grounding. God bless!
It’s a sad state of affairs when we need doctors to tell us to go outside. Worse yet, there are debunkers with phds who suggest we don’t really need to go outside.
Absolutely agree with you. ((((xoxoxox)))) Laura
Apart from grounding my other obsession 🤣is music and hifi so I stumbled on an idea of mechanically grounding my speakers, tbh It wasn't totally all my contrivance as a hi end manufacturer has put this idea into being,to cut a short story long 🤣my idea was to use leather as a grounding agent and I must say I am bowled at how well it works
Grounding for me can be as simple as using an old cotton t shirt and wrapping around a cushion or running a copper wire along side a home window

Why i feel cold aftet earthing ? Cold body , shiver & chill . . . Even in summer . . . ?
I'm not sure, it boosts circulation so probably not that, but possibly this is the sensation you are getting in your central nervous system, possibly grounding is affecting your cord body temperature and making you feel cooler? Interesting... xoxo
Thanks for reply . . .
I am not good in english . But still try to write . . . Sorry in advance . . .
Off cource you are an authoroty on grounding . . . But i think by my personal expirense earthing is more spirtual practise then physical . . .
My body starts to vibrate after 2 to 3 minutes of earthing . . . I feel Strong sensetions on my base of spine . . . After 15 to 20 minutes my heart chakra point become blissfull . . .
So much peace inside . .. after 35 to 40 minutes i feel strong vibes on 3rd eye point and feels ecsatsy . . . when first time this happen i feard . . . Stop earthing and search about ecstacy and found sadhguru' s word " when your energies become pleasent you feel bliss when its become very pleasent you feel ecsatcy . . . "
Then after 2 months i start earthing again and feel same bliss . . .
I think this life and world is full of mystryes . . . humans knows very less . . .
Thanks again for reply and sorry again for my poor english . . .
God bless you . . .
@@oneminutewisdom1.0 Grounding is 100% physical. The spiritual/mental/emotional experiences you have are the result of the physical effects of grounding.
i think its not safe for every one . . .
Its triggers kundalini awekining in my case . . . May be i am wrong . . .
Your hair is better darker :) but thank you for the helpful tips.
Yes but the more grey the easier it is to just keep getting highlights LOL since I don't really want to cover the grey, I'm just leaving it. But that said it really doesn't matter what I look like, I went into medicine to help support your health and I hope I do that for you! (((xoxoxo))) Laura
@@laurakonivermd Well you are the finest looking Dr, despite the grey :) I have to say I have been watching your videos and joined your site, and the info is terrific, and I have been grounding for two weeks now and trying to learn as much as possible Thank you for sharing your secrets to help us all.
I ordered over 200.00 in products almost 3 weeks ago. I haven't received anything, and there's no way to reach this person, Laura Koniver. I guess I will file a fraud report with credit card company
You can do that, or you can simply send an email through the contact page on my website that’s how you can contact me easily and request I cancel your order. Or as stated in your confirmation email as well as on my website, you can understand that these items are all custom-made per order and take me about three weeks to have ready to ship, but if you don’t want to wait one more week just send me an email with your order number through my contact form and I will cancel that for you.
Received 3 were exactly after ordering. All I ordered was 3 grounding rods. They were wrapped beautifully, and u have already given 2 of them away. Currently grounding with a full carbon mattress sheet. They last forever, i will never have to replace. I feel like I'm in a cocoon. I don't want to get out of bed! Thank you very much
@@lq4657 This is so great to hear! I'm so thrilled you love them! ((((xoxoxo)))) Laura
Oh she’s selling something
Who would have guessed
No such thing as mother eatth!! Everything is created by Father God & Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit!!🙏😊
As an electrical engineer, everything this woman says makes me cringe. She may have a medical degree, but she hasn't a clue about basic electricity and physics.
Curious to know exactly what you mean as in whether the body is not grounded when touching the earth or a naturally conductive surface.
