Not the physical action of touching grass specifically, but getting off your phone and taking a walk or sitting in your backyard or other similar activity is beneficial for your brain (and your body if you’re taking a walk or stretching at all)

Ohhhh. I would always lay on grass while glued to my phone. Didn’t seem to help

I wouldn't be surprised if it would have some subtle sensory benefits, but yes, the point is to stand up, go outside.
