What is GROUNDING ?
Grounding, also known as Earthing, is the practice of connecting your body to the Earth's natural electric charge. This connection is believed to help restore the body’s electrical balance, promoting overall health and well-being.
The Earth has a mild negative charge, and when you make direct contact with it—such as walking barefoot on grass, soil, or sand—you can absorb electrons that may help reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and enhance mood. Grounding products are designed to facilitate this connection, allowing you to experience the benefits of grounding indoors.
Many people report various benefits from grounding, including reduced stress, better sleep quality, increased energy, and a greater sense of well-being. However, individual experiences may vary. As always, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or underlying health conditions.
When we don’t ground ourselves frequently enough, our bodies can accumulate excess free radicals due to the stresses of modern life, such as financial pressures, relationships, and work. This stress can lead our immune systems to overreact, eventually recognizing chronic stress as an illness, which perpetuates the production of free radicals and negatively impacts our health.
By practicing grounding, negatively charged electrons flood the body upon contact, neutralizing free radicals and helping to lower inflammation and associated pain. Ultimately, grounding allows us to reconnect with the Earth, offering a simple yet powerful way to enhance our well-being.
All our products are made with conductive materials that allow electrons to flow from the Earth into your body. By using grounding products, you can maintain a connection to the Earth even while indoors, helping to support your body’s natural processes.
Is there any risk of electric shock ?
No, there is no risk of electric shock when grounding. Our products are designed to connect you to the Earth’s natural electric field safely. They do not carry any voltage or electrical current in the way that electrical appliances do. As long as you use the grounding sheets as instructed and ensure they are properly connected to a grounded outlet, you can enjoy their benefits without concern
What should I expect to feel when I start using EARTH products?
Individual Experiences with grounding
Many individuals report immediate improvements in their health and well-being, including reduced pain, increased energy, and improved sleep quality. Keep in mind that each person's experience with Grounding is unique.
Some may notice sensations such as tingling in their feet or hands while resting, which occurs as the body dissipates built-up electrical charge from daily activities. This sensation reflects the flow of electrons from the Earth into the body, facilitating natural healing and energy balance. The tingling sensation often accompanies an initial re-energizing and normalization effect.
In the early stages, some symptoms can indicate that the body is undergoing a healing and normalization process, as being grounded enhances blood flow and oxygenation of tissues restoring a natural electrical state. This process promotes efficient cell repair and detoxification, which can manifest with symptoms like mild flu-like symptoms. Muscle cramps and disrupted sleep are extremely rare but may also occur. Additionally, improved nerve function may lead to unfamiliar sensations. Earthing provides the body with resources to cleanse and restore itself, which may result in temporary fatigue before increased energy is felt. These responses can vary widely among individuals.
Does my mat (underlay mattress cover) function effectively with a sheet on top?
You do not need direct skin contact with the underlay mat to experience its benefits. As you sleep, your body generates warmth and moisture, which enhances conductivity. This natural moisture allows for effective grounding through any natural fiber sheet, such as cotton, making it a suitable option for enhanced conductivity.
Should I consult my GP before starting grounding?
Earthing can enhance your body’s efficiency, which may impact medication dosages positively.
This practice may thin the blood, improve thyroid function, and help regulate blood sugar and blood pressure. If you are taking medication, it’s crucial to discuss these factors with your GP.

Is it safe to machine wash my products?
Yes, you can safely machine wash your grounding sheets. We recommend using a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can affect the conductivity of the materials. For best results, air dry your sheets or tumble dry on a low setting.
