Ten gentle minutes on clean grass
Walking barefoot on soft grass is an old morning habit in India and a popular 'grounding' trend. The soft surface can feel pleasant and wakes the feet. It is a gentle walk and not a treatment for joint pain, blood pressure or any condition, and claims of 'earthing' benefits are not proven.
Walk only on clean, dry grass, checked for glass, thorns and animal droppings. Ten minutes is plenty. Skip it with open cuts, numb feet, diabetes with foot problems, poor circulation or bad balance, and in wet or slippery conditions. Wash and dry your feet after.
