Grounding Mat With Earthing Cable - 90x60cm

Current research suggests that regular grounding or earthing can enhance the body’s electrical stability, influence physiological processes, reduce inflammation, and improve sleep and energy levels.

If you are currently under medical supervision, it is essential to inform your healthcare provider about incorporating grounding into your routine. Grounding may impact how you feel, your medical test results, and could necessitate adjustments to your medication. We strongly advise consulting your healthcare provider, especially if you are taking medication for blood thinning, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure control, or thyroid hormone levels.

Key Considerations:

• Blood Thinners: Grounding has a natural blood-thinning effect. If you are on blood-thinning medications like Coumadin, closely monitor your blood levels and consult with your healthcare provider to prevent excessive blood thinning.
• Blood Sugar Regulation: Grounding may improve blood sugar regulation. If you are on anti-diabetic medication, consult your doctor to determine if a medication adjustment is needed.
• Thyroid Medication: Grounding can affect thyroid function, potentially leading to symptoms of over-medication. Consult your healthcare provider if you are on thyroid medication.
• Anti-inflammatory Medications: Since grounding reduces inflammation, those on anti-inflammatory drugs should monitor their dosage and consult with their healthcare provider.

For a safe and beneficial grounding experience, whether you are barefoot outdoors or using indoor grounding systems, it is crucial to approach it with caution. If you have any doubts about the safety of grounding for your condition, try spending time barefoot on natural surfaces like grass, sand, or soil for at least 30-40 minutes a day.

Advice from Experts: According to health experts, grounding helps balance the nervous system, reduce stress, and improve blood circulation. However, as the research is still evolving, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider, especially if you are on medication. Gradually incorporate grounding into your routine and monitor your health closely.

For Those on Multiple Medications: Individuals on multiple medications, especially the elderly or those with complex health conditions, should have a detailed discussion with their healthcare provider before starting grounding. The physiological improvements from grounding may affect medication dosages, and an overdose situation could develop. Your healthcare provider will guide you on the best approach.

What is Earthing (grounding)?

Earthing, also known as grounding, involves direct contact with the Earth's surface electrons, which carry a natural electric charge. This can be felt as a pleasant tingling when walking on wet grass or sand. Scientific studies indicate that reconnecting with the Earth's electrons can stabilize and rejuvenate the body by recharging and thinning the blood, enhancing immune function, and significantly reducing inflammation, pain, and stress. Modern lifestyles have largely disconnected us from this natural energy, contributing to chronic inflammation and various health issues.

How can I experience the benefits of Earthing?

To incorporate Earthing into your routine, you have several options:

1. Go Barefoot Outdoors: Spend at least 30 minutes a day barefoot on natural conductive surfaces like soil, grass, sand, gravel, or rock. Wet surfaces are more conductive than dry ones. Note that asphalt, vinyl, and wood are not conductive.
2. Use Indoor Grounding Products: For those who cannot go barefoot outdoors, grounding can be achieved indoors using conductive mats, bands, and patches. These products simulate the effect of being barefoot outside and can be used while sitting or sleeping.

What can I expect to feel when I start Earthing?

Individual experiences with Earthing vary. Many people report immediate improvements in sleep quality, energy levels, and pain reduction. However, some may experience temporary detoxification symptoms as the body begins to function more efficiently. These symptoms are typically more pronounced in individuals with chronic inflammation or pain who have not been grounded for extended periods.

Is Earthing a new concept?

Earthing is not a new concept. Historically, humans have always walked barefoot and slept on conductive materials, which allowed them to absorb the Earth's natural energy. This connection helped prevent the build-up of inflammation in their bodies. The concept was revived in the late 1990s by Clint Ober and has since gained renewed attention for its health benefits.

Is Earthing important in the modern age?

Yes, Earthing is crucial, especially now, given the global prevalence of pain, inflammation-related diseases, insomnia, and chronic fatigue. Earthing is a simple, natural method that can normalize many bodily functions and address what is termed a "grounding deficit," a contributing factor to widespread pain, inflammation, and chronic disease.

Is Earthing safe for people on medication?

It is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting Earthing, especially if you are on medication. Earthing can enhance physiological functions, potentially affecting medication dosages. For example, Earthing has been known to thin blood, improve thyroid function, and regulate blood sugar and blood pressure. These changes might necessitate adjustments in medication dosages.

Can Earthing increase the risk of being struck by lightning during a thunderstorm?

While lightning strikes are rare, it is advisable to follow standard lightning safety guidelines. Disconnect any Earthing devices during thunderstorms to minimize risk. The probability of being struck by lightning is extremely low, but caution is always recommended.

Can I wear any type of footwear and still be grounded?

Most modern footwear, made with plastic or rubber soles, is not conductive and does not allow grounding. To benefit from Earthing, you need footwear with thin leather or hide soles, which can conduct the Earth's energy through perspiration and moisture. This allows the natural energy to permeate and connect with the body.

Is grounding via domestic mains the same as using an external grounding rod?

Yes, they are essentially the same. Modern homes typically have a grounding rod buried outside, connected to the earth pin on every mains socket through the domestic wiring system.

Is a mains earth connection present in all countries?

• New Zealand: A mains earth connection is required by law and is almost universally present. If you are concerned about the wiring in your property, an inexpensive socket tester can verify a correct earth connection.

Is it safe to ground myself via a domestic electrical outlet?

Yes, it is safe. The grounding systems sold include built-in protection resistance to ensure safety. If a mains socket is mis-wired, the protection resistance limits the current to a safe level, preventing noticeable electric shock. However, using a socket tester to verify the state of your mains wiring is recommended if you have any doubts.
