Grounding, also known as earthing, has gained popularity for its potential health benefits—better sleep, reduced inflammation, and improved energy levels, to name a few. But a common question that arises among new practitioners is: Can grounding make you dizzy?
The answer is yes—but only under specific conditions.
Why Grounding Might Make You Dizzy
If you've been feeling lightheaded or dizzy after grounding, you're not alone. However, this sensation is most often linked to indoor grounding methods, especially when using an electrical outlet as your ground source.
Here’s what’s happening:
When you plug a grounding mat or sheet into a wall outlet, you're relying on your home's electrical grounding system. If that outlet contains dirty electricity—high-frequency voltage transients caused by modern electronics—it can introduce unwanted electrical noise into your grounding experience. Instead of just connecting you to the Earth's natural energy, you're inadvertently exposing yourself to electrical interference from your home wiring.
Symptoms of Dirty Electricity While Grounding
-
Dizziness or lightheadedness
-
Brain fog
-
Tingling or buzzing sensations
-
Restlessness or irritability
These are signs your body might be reacting to electrical pollution, not the grounding itself.
How to Ground Safely and Avoid Dizziness
If you're experiencing dizziness from grounding indoors, stop using the wall outlet immediately. Instead, switch to one of the following safer and more effective grounding methods:
1. Use a Dedicated Ground Stake like the GroundLuxe Stake
A grounding rod (also called a ground stake) is a metal rod inserted into the earth outside your home, with a wire that connects directly to your grounding product. This provides direct contact with the Earth, bypassing any interference from your home's wiring.
2. Ground Directly Outdoors
Take off your shoes and walk barefoot on grass, soil, sand, or unsealed concrete. This is the purest form of grounding—no cables, no outlets, no dirty electricity.
Final Thoughts
Yes, grounding can make you dizzy—but only if you're grounding through an outlet with dirty electricity. The good news is, there are simple, safe alternatives. By grounding outside or using a dedicated ground stake, you can enjoy all the benefits of earthing without the side effects.
Listen to your body. If grounding doesn’t feel right, change your setup. Dizziness is a sign something's off—and with the right method, grounding should make you feel better, not worse.
