I used to have a lot of sleeping problems until I found the grounding pad. This device helps me connect with the earth so that I can sleep more soundly. Still, it comes with risks, just like anything else in life.

If you are considering using this product, you need to know the grounding mat-side effects. This article provides you with an overview of earthing, devices like grounding pads, and its risks. Let’s get to it.

How to “Do” Earthing

People used to walk the earth with minimal to no shoes for a long time, but this is no longer the case. Many researchers have looked into whether this change in how we interact with our planet impacts our health. They use the words grounding, earthing to describe touching the earth directly.

Grounding or earthing is the very simple idea of when your body comes in contact with the earth by walking barefoot on it. You can also practice earthing by lying on the ground. It’s just important that you touch the earth with your bare skin and body. This practice is a natural approach to natural health and healing.

The earthing hypothesis is pretty straightforward. Our bodies have an electrical charge. When our body or bare feet touch the ground, it equalizes the charge between positive and negative. When we wear rubber-soled shoes or stay inside, our body doesn’t get the chance to equalize. So, you have to be somehow in direct contact with the earth to “do” earthing.

An earthing device or earthing practice, as a result, uses electrons from the earth. These electrons can neutralize free radicals that are positively charged. For those who are unaware, free radicals are molecules without electrons, which can be dangerous within the human body. So, the ground absorbs the free electrons in your body.

There are two ways to practice earthing: traditional earthing (touching the ground) or an earthing device such as a pad or sheets.

Earthing Products

Since most people do not go barefoot in nature or put their bodies on the ground, there have been new products developed so that you can get grounded without going outside. In other words, they mimic the natural effect of the earth. Grounding pads are a great way to do this. They connect to the earth’s electricity so that you can get grounded anywhere and don’t have to go outside.

They work by connecting to the ground opening of an electrical outlet. Unlike when you plug in a lamp or other device, the cord only discharges energy to the ground via your outlet grounding wire, it does not use the other slots that carry electrical current.

These grounded mats or sheets utilize silver and nylon to create a conductive material. Whenever the grounding plug is inserted into the outlet, the charge can flow through the material and out to the outlet so that you can become grounded while indoors.

Is There Any Solid Research on Grounding Mats?

Although earthing or grounding may seem a bit far-fetched, there has actually been a lot of science done about it and its benefits. There are many ways that it can improve your health, reduce inflammation, and increase well-being. From the Journal of Inflammation Research to the Journal of Environmental and Public Health, many scientists support the idea of grounding.

One of the biggest benefits of using a grounding device is improved sleep. It is able to help you relax and reduce stress, which makes it easier to fall and stay asleep in bed. As you sleep more soundly, your blood pressure reduces, and you can have more energy the next day.

Additionally, a grounding device benefits the immune system, increases cortisol levels, and may ward off chronic disease as well. It can reduce inflammation, reduce pain, heal injury, reduce blood viscosity, and relax your nervous system. All around, a grounding device can help a variety of illnesses and issues.

Risks and Side Effects of Grounding Mats

If there is a lot of unshielded and ungrounded electricity around you, making your body a big grounding wire can increase the chance of electric shock. However, that doesn’t describe most people’s homes. If there’s little electricity around you, grounding is beneficial to the body.

Due to the connection to an outlet, you may be exposed to voltages and intermediate frequencies when grounded this way. If you are worried about this issue, you can use a body voltage meter to test the voltage and frequency noise.

When first getting grounded, some users report that they feel a tingling sensation. Muscle cramps, achy-ness, a foggy mind, headache, and tiredness have all been reported with use of a grounding pad. Most people report that these symptoms go away after repeated use. These symptoms are especially true for those with Lyme disease or with electro-sensitivity.

Is Earthing Safe for Electrosensitive Individuals?

Earthing can either be helpful or dangerous for someone who is electrosensitive. It really all depends on where you are earthing and how. If you are electrosensitive, you need to be careful when earthing and using any earthing products, so you don’t expose yourself to electrical fields and exacerbate your pain.

With that being said, grounding yourself outside in an area with a low electrical field can be a great idea for those with electrosensitivity. More rural areas will be a great place to go since they have lower electrical fields. Look for this sort of location if you want to try grounding.

You may want to start for lower time periods and work your way up. Though many people like to ground themselves for 30 minutes at a time, those with electrosensitivity should start lower.

If you are electrosensitive, it is best to consult professional medical advice for further help.

Should I Ground Myself?

You may not want to ground yourself if you are in an area with unshielded or ungrounded electricity. In other words, do not ground yourself in an area with an ungrounded electrical field.

On the other hand, you should ground yourself when there is little electricity around you. Look for areas that are far away from sources of electric magnetic fields. For example, when you are in a forest, that is a great time to ground yourself safely and healthfully. The earth is a great, natural place to get grounded.

If you are inside, you may want to use a grounding appliance such as a grounding pad or grounding sheets. If you select these devices, make sure that you buy it from a trusted brand.

What’s Wrong with Earthing Mats and Pads?

Many people are fans of earthing mats and pads, but others are against it. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide whether or not you want to use an earthing pad.

Those who are in favor of earthing tools claim that it helps them ground when they are inside. This is especially true if you have trouble sleeping. These devices can help you ground while you sleep, making it easier to relax and sleep at night.

However, there are people who are against using these devices. These people prefer using earth solely. They claim that the point of earthing is to equalize yourself using the earth’s energy, which can’t happen when exposed to electromagnetic fields. When you use a device, you connect to other currents as well. As a result, electric charges flow through your body as well as the charge from the earth.

You may decide for yourself if you like grounding mats or not.

Final Thoughts

Grounding mats are a way to ground yourself without going barefoot outside or touching the earth, but they do come with some possible risks. You can most notably expose yourself to electromagnetic fields when using these devices since they plug into an outlet.

For most users, this will not be a problem, and they will experience health benefits like stress relief, chronic pain reduction, reduction of inflammation, and even sleep improvement. That being said, those with Lyme disease and electrosensitivity may want to opt for traditional grounding than a grounding product.

For many adults, getting older isn’t much fun. There are health concerns to worry about and often difficulty sleeping at night. But what if I told you there was a safe and effective way to get a great night’s rest? Thanks to earthing mats, you can enjoy a fuller, healthier life!

In this article, I’ll show you how to use an earthing mat and talk about some of the many benefits that come with it.

How Do You Plug In a Grounding Mat?

Lots of people frequently ask questions about the use of earthing mats and how they are to be plugged in. Since there are many different types of outlet configurations around the world, it’s important to know whether yours are properly grounded.

The outlets you can use for earthing are called “grounded” outlets. Many outlets are not grounded properly, particularly in older houses. Because of this, you’ll need to check your outlets to ensure that they are properly grounded.

In the United States, you can typically tell if your outlets are grounded by checking to make sure that they have three total holes (two vertical slots above and one hole below). However, this isn’t fool-proof. Houses can be improperly wired or 3-prong outlets can be installed such that the grounding wire isn’t attached. If you have ANY outlets in your older house that only have 2 prongs, you should check to see if your 3-prong outlets are actually grounded as that’s an indication that your electrical system may not be grounded properly.

Test Your Outlets

It’s important to note again that just because your outlet has a ground hole doesn’t necessarily mean that it is indeed grounded. As such, you will need to test your outlet to make sure that it is actually grounded. To do this, you should invest in an outlet ground checker.

An outlet tester will help you better determine if your wall outlet has the proper earthing ground to allow you to plug in and enjoy grounding products. Often these devices come with earthing products to make it simple for consumers.

After you have confirmed that your outlets are grounded, you may plug in your ground cord that came with your earthing product. Each product comes with a snapping portion that fits into the provided earthing cord.

The other end of the cord is equipped with a grounding prong. This is the end that needs to be plugged into the ground port of the electrical outlet.

Once you are connected, your mat should be in good working order. At this point, you may touch any part of your body and get grounded. On earthing mats, it’s best to touch your bare feet. This will ensure that the part of you touching the earth product will get the most absorption of energy from the earth.

Getting Grounded

Remember, grounding pads don’t use electricity. They simply allow energy to exit via the grounding port of your outlets.

In people who are sensitive to electricity and EMFs, grounding products may actually protect them from feeling the effects. As such, you should place as many mats and pads throughout your home to help keep you at your healthiest. Moreover, a sleeping mat at night may benefit you and help you get better sleep at night.

Does Earthing Work Through Clothes?

Earthing always works the best if it is your bare skin that is touching the earthing/grounding product. It is possible to use a grounding device through clothing if there is moisture on the mat. Still, the human body will benefit more from grounding when it is able to touch the mat.

This is why it’s ideal to walk barefoot outside. Your body is getting the most ground energy through its nervous system, allowing you to get the most health benefits. The more skin contact you can get through your body from the earth, the more “charge” your body will feel.

Can You Put a Sheet Over a Grounding Mat?

You should not place a sheet over your earth device. This is because your body needs to have direct contact with the device. The Earthing Half Sheet, for example, needs to be placed on top of your bed’s fitted sheet.

It’s important to mention that you may feel some tingling upon your first time using a grounding item. This is a normal sensation that many people report and is a sign that your body is getting improved circulation.

If you have a question about these results or are concerned, please read the instructions that came with your mat to clear up any confusion about using earthing products.

How Do You Know if Your Grounding or Sleep Mat Is Working?

The best way to check your item is to try using a multimeter to see if you’re getting the energy needed to properly experience grounding. You should also test your grounded wall outlet to make sure that it is actually grounded.

Oftentimes, a ground rod is needed to ensure that you are properly grounded and able to experience grounding. A ground rod will supply the earth’s energy needed to make enjoy your grounding or sleep mat, for example.

You can purchase ground rod kits that will help you connect to the earth’s energy if your home isn’t properly grounded and able to provide grounding.

If you suffer from insomnia, grounding will often help you get the rest that you so desperately need. As an insomniac, I struggled with sleep for years. I have tried countless medications in my lifetime, many of which only seemed to make things worse.

A Safer Option

These medications eventually took a toll on my body and left wanting to find a healthier and safer alternative to get the sleep I needed. That’s when I discovered grounding. Thanks to this solution, I am now able to sleep soundly at night.

What’s more, I have much more energy throughout the day. One of the worst parts of not getting quality sleep at night is how sluggish and tired you feel the next day. It’s hard to get motivated for your life when you aren’t getting any sleep.

Thanks to Earthing and their grounding devices, I am now content to kick all of those sleeping medications to the curb and live my life with a clear head. This in itself is a huge blessing for my well-being. So, for me, I was able to tell in short order that my grounding devices were working.

If, however, you are unable to tell if you are getting the energy needed to benefit from grounding, try the multimeter to test your outlets.

Remember, we’re all made differently. As such, not everyone is going to experience earth devices the same or get the same benefits.

Is There Any Supporting Evidence for Earthing?

We have plenty of evidence to support the free radical theory of earthing. By neutralizing these free radicals, it is believed that earthing can help with chronic disease, as well. Those with health problems report lower blood pressure and better blood flow.

This is mostly due to earthing helping with your blood viscosity. But all these benefits aside, people who are able to sleep well may not experience the same effects. As such, if grounding doesn’t seem to be working for you, it may just be that you don’t have the ailments that grounding is known to remedy.

If your grounding experience isn’t working indoors, you can always go outside and make direct contact with the earth to see if it makes a difference. This certainly isn’t to be taken as medical advice, but it’s worth a try to see if there is a difference between grounding in your home and trying grounding outdoors with the earth.

Summary

There are many adults who struggle with aging and restlessness at night. Thanks to earthing, you can safely combat these effects and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

Knowing how to use a mat will go a long way in ensuring that you get the best results from your earthing device. With the help of grounding, you can show old age who’s boss and enjoy a fuller, healthier life!

I used to have problems going to sleep, so I spent many years researching the best and healthiest ways to fall and stay asleep. This introduced me to the idea of earthing. From there, I discovered earthing mats and their wild popularity. Naturally, I was intrigued.

If, like myself, you are interested in earthing pads, read on.

How Does an Earthing Mat Work?

Earthing mats or pads work by giving your body a direct connection to the earth via the electrical system in your house.

Earthing mats have conductive wires woven into them such that when they come into contact with your skin they allow your body to discharge positive ions into the mat and then through the cord and into the grounding wire of your outlet.

This is exactly what all your electronic devices use the grounding wire for as well, and the ground opening (the round one in the US) should be in contact with the ground outside if your electrical system is properly constructed. (Use an outlet tester to ensure that’s the case.)

What is Earthing?

For centuries, humans had direct contact with the earth by walking barefoot outside. The novelty of your bare feet touching the ground has dramatically increased in the modern era. Very few people today ever feel the earth directly beneath their feet or let it touch their skin directly.

Even though many don’t like walking barefoot, a lot of research has been done to support the healing properties and overall benefits of your bare feet touching the earth. The practice of touching the ground directly can be called earthing or grounding.

Earthing is simply when you walk barefoot on the ground or let it touch your skin directly. Though this practice sounds a bit New Age-y, research suggests that touching the earth has an impact on your body.

The Earthing Hypothesis

The earth has a negative charge. I know that you are going to hate me for this, but you need to think back to high school science class. A negative charge is caused when there are excessive electrons. Electrons do not like to be single, so they attract other molecules to be complete.

This is where it gets interesting. When we touch our skin directly to the ground, our body absorbs the earth’s electrons to neutralize our own charge. As more electrons are brought into our body, they neutralize the effects of free radicals.

You might be wondering, “Why doesn’t this happen when I walk with shoes on?” The reason for this is that most wear rubber-soled shoes. This neutralizing effect does not happen when we walk with shoes since rubber prevents the intake of electrons.

What Is the Scientific Proof that Earthing Works?

The idea of using the energy of the earth to balance the charge of our own bodies definitely sounds far fetched, but it is not. There has been a lot of research done on the topic that proves time and time again that earthing is a scientific process that is beneficial for a person.

The Journal of Environmental and Public Health, the Journal of Inflammation Research, and the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine are just a few scholarly and peer-reviewed sources that have published and supported the effectiveness of grounding.

Health Benefits of Earthing

Since the idea of earthing is a relatively new topic within the scientific field, grounding is under-researched. Nevertheless, recent studies have specifically looked at the connection between using earthing products and inflammation, muscle damage, cardiovascular disease, mood, and chronic pain. It has many benefits for the human body.

One of the biggest benefits of grounding is increased and better sleep. This is because grounding has been shown to relax and improve mood. When this happens, you can sleep more easily. These results also help with stress, depression, and fatigue.

Another major benefit of earthing is its impact on inflammation. Some studies have been conducted that show that grounding helps reduce chronic and non-chronic inflammation. As a result, earthing can also decrease pain and benefit those with chronic disease.

Similarly, grounding can help with post-exercise muscle damage. In this research, it found that grounding after exercise affected the creatine kinase, white blood cell count, and pain. This made it easier for the athlete to recover faster.

Some more recent studies have also shown that earthing can affect cardiovascular diseases as well. This includes red blood cell fluidity, blood flow, and clumping. This specific benefit needs to be researched more.

Here is a complete list of the possible benefits of using an earthing product:

• Improved sleep
• Improves immune response
• Decreases inflammation
• Relieves stress and depression
• Enhances healing
• Improves cardiovascular function

What are the Side Effects of Earthing?

Those with electrosensitivity should be careful when earthing. When you live in rural areas, the electrons are wildly helpful for your body and do not normally affect those with electrosensitivity.

In more electrically polluted areas, however, getting grounded can be difficult due to the increase of the electromagnetic field. If you live in an area with more reliance on these fields, grounding can potentially make your situation worse. This won’t be an issue for most users.

Consult your doctor for further information if you’re still concerned.

What Is an Earthing Mat Made of?

Earthing mats/pads are normally made with some sort of resin and foam. Inside the mat are silver wires that make it conductive. Since electricity chooses the path of least resistance, silver is the perfect material for this. Silver is a great conductive material that is safe use and durable. Without these wirings, your mat would be, well, just like any other mat.

The silver wires will get connectivity through a cord that will be attached to the mat. Often, these cords can be removed so that you can wash them and store it more safely. You will simply plug one end of the cord into the mat and the round into a three-prong outlet.

Homes or wiring systems built before the 1960s may not be suitable for these kinds of products. You will probably need a rod for this purpose. Almost all wiring systems, however, are up-to-date enough. You can use an outlet checker to test for this problem.

Summary

Earthing mats are an advanced technology that gives you the benefits of getting in direct contact with the ground while remaining in your home. By using this product for 30 minutes a day, you can decrease inflammation, boost recovery times, and sleep better. You can also opt for a grounding sheet for even more improved sleep.

Those with electrosensitivity should be careful when using this product, however, because it requires electrical outlets for their charge. Still, most people will get the benefits of coming in contact with the earth all while staying grounded and barefoot inside.

I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping. When I was younger, I could power through my sleep deprivation with the use of some coffee and a smile, but that skill started to wear off the older I got. So, I started researching different products for sleep, and that’s when I stumbled upon the grounding mattress pad.

These products help you connect to the ground so that you can sleep better. I have personally found this product to be one of the best for a good night’s rest, but I had trouble finding out information about it at first. Here is a complete guide to a grounding pad to help other people similar to myself, one of the best options available for a troubled night’s sleep.

Connect To The Earth While You Sleep!

In the modern world, we rarely take the time to connect to the earth. We almost always wear shoes – both inside and outside – preventing us from really getting in contact with the earth or walking around barefoot. Though many people hate being barefoot, going barefoot is great for us.

Walking on the ground or touching it directly is called earthing. It is the moments when our body mingles with the ground in a way that is conducive to our health and wellbeing.

Benefits of Earthing

Although feeling the earth on your skin may seem like a minor issue, coming in contact with the earth via your skin comes with several benefits, and research has been done to support this claim.

For example, one 2011 study found that connecting to the earth improves electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels, immune response, and glucose levels.

Additionally, research suggests that grounding or making an effort to spend time with your feet in nature decreases stress levels, increases serotonin, and overall wellbeing. These also reduce pain and inflammation, chronic or otherwise.

Here is a complete list of the health benefits that grounding can have on the human body:

• Reduces inflammation
• Improves sleep
• Reduces pain and muscle damage
• Improves mood
• Reduces blood viscosity
• Reduces stress
• Promotes relaxation

Grounding Mattress Pad: A Better Alternative

Despite these positive benefits, people still don’t make direct contact with the ground. Whether it be because their lives are too busy or that walking on dirt sounds gross, people simply don’t practice grounding that often.

That is where grounding sheets come into play. These sheets give you the feeling of sleeping on the ground despite remaining cozy and warm in your bed. In other words, it is a better alternative to both regular sheets or sleeping on the ground since it offers the best of both worlds.

You won’t have to wash up as soon as you wake up, but you still wake up feeling well-rested from your cotton sheets and connected to the ground. This is due to their conductive silver materials and metal and natural power to connect to the earth. Hence, these products can be used to sleep easily and relax.

How do Earthing and Grounding Pads Work?

Grounding pads are designed to mimic direct contact with the ground so that you feel more connected as you sleep. This results in a more rested and healthy you.

The Earthing Hypothesis

The grounding mattress works because of the earthing hypothesis. The earth gives off a negative electric charge. When our skin comes in contact with the ground, the negative charge causes an equalization. As a result, the body takes extra electrons and builds up static electricity. This is the earthing hypothesis.

An earthing mattress or pad is designed to mimic the ground. This means that it creates a negative electric current so that our bodies can equalize. Since your entire body – not just your feet – touches the grounding sheets, this creates even more positive effects and connections. The same goes for earthing mats or an earthing pad or mattress.

Conductive Materials, A Cord, and An Electrical Outlet

These devices are made with metals and conductive materials such as silver. The device will then have a cord that you can attach to an outlet. A grounding sheet works by connecting to an electrical outlet for its grounding connection. However, the earthing sheet is designed only to pick up the earth’s connection, not a connection from your utility.

You may need to check if you have the proper electrical plug in your home, but most modern homes have this feature. Almost all modern homes can connect with the grounding sheet. However, you might need to get a rod if your home was built before the 1960s and never received electrical rewiring. You will then use the rod for the connectivity.

All around, a grounding pad is a great way to bring the outside indoors. Simply by inserting the plug into the outlet, your body can connect to the energy provided by the mat so that it can relax, de-stress, and fight pain related to inflammation.

Earthing Indoors with Grounding Sheets?

At first, the idea of a grounding pad or earthing mat can sound wacky, but having direct contact with the ground is a great way to heal your body and experience a number of benefits. By using these products, you can experience their benefits while sleeping.

How to Get Grounded Inside

Getting grounded indoors is really simple. Just plug your grounding mat into an outlet and place it on your bed, office, or couch. Then, let your body on it and just relax.

There are various ways for grounding. If you have grounding sheets, you can place them on your bed. For the bed, just jump right in. You can also place a mat on top of the floor or by your desk. As you are working, put your feet on top of the grounding mat.

Caring for Your Grounding Pad

You need to care for grounding pads, so they remain free of germs and bacteria. However, you need to care for them a bit differently due to their electric wirings and features.

What to Avoid When Using a Grounding Pad

To protect your product, do not apply any lotions or oils to the body parts that will touch the grounded pad. These materials can leave a residue on the sheets and impair the sheets or mat’s conductive material. Since these sheets are not like regular cotton sheets, you do not want to damage them by covering yourself in lotions.

Summary

Get grounded with products like the earthing pads. These items use conductive materials like silver and cotton to give you the natural feeling of sleeping outside. This is one of the best ways to connect to the earth’s energy and improve your health as a human being.

Are earthing mats safe? I have been using an earthing mat for a year now. That combined with walking barefoot has helped me by giving me many health benefits.

Grounding has a lot of potential to do good in the body. I used to suffer from insomnia and was getting sick all the time from lack of sleep. Now, my immune system is stronger than before.

When people find out I use earthing products, the first thing they ask me is if it is safe. I can not give medical advice, but I have felt so much healthier lately.

Someone I know had sent me a pdf of an earthing mat and its dangers. However, much of the information in the document was not true.

In this article, we are going to discuss how grounding can make you feel connected to the earth, how an earthing product uses free electrons and more. Hopefully, this information will make you feel safer around grounding pads.

If you have a question, feel free to contact me at my email address. I would be happy to help you.

This is what you need to know about earthing mats.

What are Grounding Mats?

Earthing and grounding pads are tools that bring one closer to the earth. You would use it indoors to reduce your free radicals and balance your body’s charge.

People use them at home, at work, or their desk, or in bed. As long as it can sit on a flat area, your grounding mat is safe to use.

Once you plug it into an outlet, you want to make sure your body has direct contact with the mat. By doing so, you get all the benefits of earthing.

In short, a grounding mat is designed to mimic the natural flow of ions between you and the earth. The human body can experience this indoors at home or office when you make contact with the mat.

Is Grounding a Real Thing?

Yes, people have been grounding for centuries. Your ancestors probably walked the earth barefoot or without rubber-soled shoes on. This process balanced out their autonomic nervous system.

You can ground at home by simply taking a walk barefoot outside. Studies have shown this can reduce inflammation, blood pressure, and lowers chances of chronic disease.

How Does Earthing/Grounding Work?

When you make contact with the ground, you are making contact with the earth’s surface electrons. They adjust the natural charge of your body, with many people feeling healthier afterward.

Think of yourself as a ground rod. Your body voltage is always changing but needs a ground rod to balance itself out–your feet provide a way for electrons to transfer between you and the ground. When you wear rubber shoes, that does not happen.

Because people get less natural contact with the earth while barefoot now, we are experiencing fewer health improvements and more complications. For instance, earthing may improve your blood viscosity–leading to a healthier heart.

Our bodies run on electricity. Just like an appliance, we need a way to ground and remove excess positive charge. A grounding mat can help you in that regard.

Benefits of Earthing Mats

There are many benefits of grounding that you can get. For instance, you may increase your immune response, prevent cardiovascular disease, avoid jet lag, and reduce inflammation.

It is up to you whether you prefer to achieve this by walking across the earth or by grounding in your home with a tool. Some people prefer to keep their bare feet indoors, especially in city areas.

Dangers of Earthing Mats

Earthing with a mat is only dangerous when done incorrectly or with a damaged product. When you buy a new one, always check it thoroughly. The cord is the most dangerous part since it connects directly to an electrical outlet.

Electrons from the earth are harmless. But too much positive charge in the body can be dangerous over time.

Keep in mind that grounding methods are not dangerous on their own. Products are mostly harmful when something is wrong with one of their parts or when they are used improperly. It’s pretty hard to do that though, at least in the US, because the grounding plug won’t fit into the the outlet slots that are dangerous.

If you are still nervous about grounding with a product, you can always try walking barefoot on the earth’s surface. This is a natural method and is not dangerous at all, assuming you watch where you’re going.

Are Earthing Mats Really Safe?

So, are grounding mats safe? They have many benefits for the body and are not harmful unless used incorrectly or are broken in some way. From my experience, I would say that an earthing mat is safe to use at home.

The positive charge created by an earthing mat replicates the natural one found outside. This makes them easy to use to ground since they have the least resistance to our bodies.

There are far more benefits to grounding than there are negatives. For example, chronic diseases caused by inflammation can have their symptoms reduced by using a ground tool at home.

What Are Grounding Mats Made of?

Most high-quality mats are made from non-toxic materials. That way, they can provide you with a safe path to becoming grounded.

Most grounding mats are made of foam and some type of nylon coating that has conductive wiring woven into it. The wire is typically made of silver.

What Does Grounding Do to Your Body?

Grounding can do a lot of things to your body. I have experienced a lot of these benefits myself and believe that you can too.

I had better sleep and reduced sleep pain. Plus, I woke up without feeling stiff or still tired.

Grounding may also assist in keeping your day-night cortisol rhythm in control and lower your stress levels. It may also improve recovery time after surgery, although research is still being conducted.

If you want to learn more about how grounding can help your body, then I suggest that you test it out for yourself. You can do this easily by taking a walk, using a patented product, or making your own DIY grounding sheet.

I usually use a mix of all the methods. Doing so ensures that I am grounding enough each and every day.

Summary

Most studies point towards grounding tools being an efficient path to gaining a variety of health improvements. There are not many risks, unless your product is broken in some way or used incorrectly. Each time you use the mat, you should check the cord before you turn it on.

If you are still nervous about grounding tools, you can achieve these benefits by walking over the earth without shoes.

In short, there are many safe ways for you to ground at home. Feel free to reach out to me if you have a question you need answering or want to learn more. I have other blog posts on this same topic that you might want to check out.
