📊 Evidence by Outcome
Chevalier et al. small studies suggest normalized cortisol rhythms and reduced inflammatory markers. Studies are very small (n<20) with methodological limitations.
5 studies • Consistency: Low • Effect: Unclear
One small pilot study showed improved blood viscosity (zeta potential) after grounding. Intriguing but unreplicated.
