The newer and updated versions are entirely black and the conductive side can be identified by the Earthing® logo.

Either – it doesn’t matter. The wall switch can be on or off. Each Earthing product connects only to the grounding wire of the UK wall socket (the top pin). This means you can simply plug it into a power extension lead if you don’t have enough sockets available and still be grounded.

Grounding makes the physiology function more efficiently, and this improvement has the potential to affect medication doses. For example, we know that it has a blood thinning effect, may improve thyroid function, blood sugar, and blood pressure, therefore medication dosages may need to be closely monitored and possibly adjusted. We recommend speaking to your GP or medical advisor in the first instance.

Everybody is different and there is no right or wrong response. Many people feel better from the start, they have more energy and less pain. Some can feel temporary symptoms of detoxification as the body starts to function more efficiently.

Most people begin to feel relief or more energy pretty quickly, however some people may feel temporary discomfort or even flu-like symptoms, cramps or soreness. The effects tend to be as a result of a more efficient functioning of the body’s own self-healing and detoxification mechanisms. The discomfort could last a few days, weeks or even long for people with compromised health. As the discomfort fades, you start to feel better and energised. If you find this period of adjustment too uncomfortable, we recommend reducing the amount of time you spend grounding, and slowly add more time as your body settles.

Grounding is a natural thing to do for humans and animals and as such, there are no magic lights, buttons or whizzy tech to show us what is going on inside our body.
So it’s a really common question that we get asked as to whether being grounded is “working” even if the person doesn’t “feel” anything, and it’s completely understandable.

The short answer is……YES! It is working.

Whether you are barefoot on the grass or using one of our indoor grounding products, you ARE getting all the health benefits.

When we consider our whole body, there may be no immediate change, feeling or sensation occurring to us but when we delve into the cellular level, there’s lots and lots going on.

Your blood begins to flow more freely, your nervous system is calmed, and inflammation is being quashed with the flood of electrons throughout our body.

For many medical conditions, by the time you notice symptoms, it has already been rumbling away for a long time and taken time to establish.

So when healing begins through your cells, it’s natural for things to take a while to improve to the point where you notice a change or an improvement yourself.

It can feel frustrating when you first begin grounding and you don’t “feel” the immediate benefits, however keep going with it.

Try and make it part of your daily routine if at all possible – your body will thank you for it in the long term.

When a single cell heals or thrives you won’t notice that, but over time this becomes a cumulative effect and your body will begin to function better and you will notice the difference.

Yes you can use an electric blanket as long as it is in good working order. We suggest warming up your blanket before getting in to bed and then turning it off to minimise exposure to EMFs. However whether these products are on or off will not alter the proper functioning of the grounding mattress cover or alter the benefits you get from it. Always make sure the electric blanket is underneath the grounding sleep mat.

No.
Earthing products and the cords that connect them are designed only to conduct the Earth’s energy to you.
They do not conduct any electric power that operates your lights and appliances. You connect your Earthing product to the ground (earth) contact of a wall outlet or to a ground rod planted in the soil outside.
All Earthing cords have a built-in 100 Kilo-Ohms resistor restricting the current to a safe limit in the unlikely case of an electric current flowing into the grounding wire such as when you touch a metallic object or appliance that is electrically charged due to a short-circuit in it.
