Abstract

This article analyzes the biophysical operating principles of footwear based on electrical connection with the Earth and their potential effects on human physiological processes. From a scientific perspective, the study examines aspects of grounding technology related to electrical conductivity and electric potential balance. In addition, theoretical concepts regarding the possible influence of electrical contact between the human body and the Earth’s surface on bioelectrical equilibrium, inflammatory processes, stress-related indicators, and blood microcirculation are discussed based on existing scientific literature.
