Grounding, or earthing, involves reconnecting with the Earth's surface electrons, either by direct contact outside or through conductive systems indoors, to neutralize free radicals and improve health. This practice brings about an array of positive health benefits.

Earthing and grounding both refer to the practice of reconnecting with the Earth's natural energy, often used interchangeably to describe health and wellness techniques. However, some distinguish between the two: "Earthing" specifically refers to making direct skin contact with the Earth, like walking barefoot, while "Grounding" typically describes the process used in electrical contexts to prevent shocks and hazards. Despite this distinction in technical fields, for health purposes, both terms generally mean connecting with the Earth's surface. To easily engage in grounding, one can walk barefoot on natural surfaces or use EarthLab® products, durable and safe alternatives for indoor grounding.

The design of EarthLab® products is straightforward and effective. Each product is crafted from conductive materials, including silver threads in our sleep systems, which facilitate the transfer of Earth's energy to you. This is done through a ground cord that connects to a wall outlet's ground port. Our products are durable, safe, and available at various affordable price points.

Just like humans, pets can also experience significant benefits from grounding, especially those that spend a lot of time indoors and miss out on connecting with the Earth's electrons, unlike their wild counterparts.

Grounding provides similar health advantages for pets as it does for people. Pets often instinctively choose to rest on Grounding sheets if available in their environment. The practice of grounding can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and stimulate collagen production in pets, enhancing their overall health and well-being. It can also help relieve stress and anxiety in indoor animals.

Many pet owners have noted that their animals are naturally attracted to grounded bedding and products. Pets seem to recognize and seek out the benefits of grounding, demonstrating through their behavior the positive effects they gain from these products.

While there are no specific studies on grounding's effects on neuropathy, there are compelling reasons to believe it could be beneficial for this condition:

1. Enhanced Blood Flow: Neuropathy, particularly diabetic neuropathy, often results from damage to the blood vessels that supply blood to the nerves in your extremities, such as hands and feet. Grounding has been shown to improve circulation, which can increase blood flow to these areas, aiding nerve healing and regeneration.
2. Inflammation Reduction: Neuropathy can also stem from nerve damage caused by inflammation. Grounding helps the body absorb free electrons from the earth, which may neutralize positively charged free radicals that contribute to inflammation. Reducing these free radicals might help alleviate the inflammation associated with neuropathy.
3. Pain Relief: Research indicates that grounding may reduce chronic pain, which is relevant since neuropathy often involves nerve pain. Grounding could provide relief by modifying electrical activity in the nervous system or reducing inflammation.
4. Stress Reduction: Grounding has been reported to have a calming effect, which is beneficial since stress can worsen neuropathy symptoms. By lowering stress and enhancing relaxation, grounding could indirectly help manage neuropathy.
5. Improved Sleep: Better sleep is another benefit often associated with grounding. Since restorative sleep is essential for healing and pain management, improved sleep from grounding might support neuropathy symptom management.

Dr. David Richards, a general practitioner, has documented the use of grounding mats to successfully treat 21 patients with neuropathy, highlighting the potential effectiveness of this approach.

No, grounding products do not emit any EMF radiation or generate magnetic or electric fields. This is because they do not utilize live electricity; they simply connect to the earth.

This issue is likely due to your multimeter. Our grounding cords include a built-in 10,000 Ohm resistor, a safety feature designed to prevent any unexpected current from flowing through the cord into the grounding product, while still allowing your body's excess voltage to discharge safely into the ground.

Most multimeters feature a continuity test function, which is useful for checking if a circuit is open or closed. However, this function typically uses a threshold resistance value (often around a few hundred ohms) to determine circuit continuity. Therefore, it may not accurately measure specific high resistance values, like the 10,000 Ohm resistance in our cord.

Yes, all of our grounding products work effectively in high-rise apartments. No matter which floor you're on, the grounding socket will maintain proper grounding.

There is no evidence suggesting that grounding affects pacemakers or metal implants adversely. Using our grounding products is akin to walking barefoot or lying on the ground outside. To our knowledge, there are no advisories against individuals with pacemakers or implants walking barefoot outdoors.

Grounding can have a beneficial anticoagulant effect, which may enhance circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots. This effect could potentially interact with anticoagulant or blood-thinning medications, so we advise consulting your doctor before using grounding products if you are on these medications.

Here is a study demonstrating how grounding can improve blood circulation, which you can discuss with your doctor to determine if indoor grounding is suitable for you: Read the study

Many of our customers with pacemakers and metal implants use our grounding products without any problems. However, if you have concerns, please consult your doctor before beginning indoor grounding.
