What is grounding?
Grounding, also known as earthing, is a therapeutic technique that involves activities that "ground" or electrically reconnect you to the earth.
This practice is based on the idea that our bodies are meant to come into contact with the earth (a "grounding" force) on a regular basis.
Positive electrons in the form of free radicals can build up in our bodies and direct contact with the ground balances this out as it is a negative grounding charge.
Our grounding sheets and mats are designed to simulate this effect, providing the benefits of grounding without the need to physically be outside.
This can help improve sleep, reduce inflammation, and decrease stress by reconnecting you with the earth's natural energy.
How does grounding work?
Grounding works by establishing a direct electrical connection between the human body and the Earth. This connection allows for the transfer of free electrons from the Earth into the body. Here’s how it works:
- The Earth has a negative charge on its surface. When you walk barefoot or use grounding products like sheets and mats, you allow your body to connect with this negative charge.
- Free radicals in our bodies, which are positively charged and can cause inflammation and damage, are neutralized by these electrons.
- Grounding helps restore and maintain the body's natural electrical state, which can be disrupted by modern lifestyles (such as wearing insulating rubber or plastic-soled shoes that block the natural flow of electrons from the Earth to your body).
- Our grounding products are designed with Silver that mimic the electrical conductive properties of the Earth’s surface, facilitating this electron transfer even when you are indoors or unable to go barefoot outside.
By creating a physical link to the Earth with our grounding products, grounding helps balance the body's voltage to the Earth's voltage, leading to numerous health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving sleep, reducing stress, and increasing energy.
What are the benefits of using grounding sheets and mats?
Using our grounding products offers a wide range of benefits, designed to enhance your well-being by reconnecting you with the Earth’s natural energy. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Improved Sleep: Grounding can help normalize your body's circadian rhythms, leading to deeper and more restful sleep.
- Reduction in Inflammation: By neutralizing free radicals with electrons from the Earth, grounding may reduce inflammation throughout the body, which is often linked to a variety of chronic diseases.
- Decreased Stress: Grounding has been shown to reduce stress levels by affecting the autonomic nervous system, shifting it from a stressed state (sympathetic) to a more relaxed state (parasympathetic).
- Increased Energy: Connecting with the Earth’s energy can lead to an increase in vitality and overall well-being.
- Pain Reduction: Many users report a significant decrease in pain levels, particularly with chronic pain conditions, after using grounding products regularly.

Are grounding products safe to use?
Using grounding sheets and mats is safe and is equivalent to walking barefoot on the ground outside.
Electrical Safety: Ensure your grounding products are connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet or directly to the Earth using a grounding rod. It's important to use the grounding cord provided with your product. The cord we provide has a special resistor that will prevent any harmful electricity from going to the grounding products.
Medical Devices: If you have a pacemaker or other electronic medical devices. “Yes, it is safe. As cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra says 'grounding is no different than walking barefoot outside on the grass or on the beach, which anyone with a pacemaker is fine to do. ... Many people with pacemakers sleep earthed indoors and experience benefits from earthing and their medical device.“
Healing Process: As the body adjusts to being grounded, some individuals may experience temporary symptoms such as tingling, warmth, or a slight increase in pain or discomfort. These symptoms usually diminish as the body acclimatizes to the grounding process.
In summary, grounding sheets and mats are a safe and natural way to enhance your health and well-being. However, it's important to consider these safety guidelines to ensure a positive and effective grounding experience.
Can grounding sheets and mats be used with electric blankets or heating pads?
