Earthing, also known as grounding, involves direct physical contact between your body and the Earth's surface.

Think of it as nature’s balance to modern life stressors, much like how the sun provides essential Vitamin D.

When you walk barefoot on grass, sand or sleep on our Earthing mat, the Earth’s free electrons interact with the electrons in your body, neutralizing harmful free radicals and absorbing excess energy.

This is a completely natural process and can help reduce inflammation, ease pain, increase energy and even help you get the best night sleep ever!

In our modern fast-paced lives filled with stress, our bodies often overproduce free radicals, which can become harmful.

By incorporating earthing into your routine, you give your body a chance to reset and heal.

The human body is naturally conductive, meaning when we come into direct contact with the Earth, we can absorb its natural electrical frequencies. This process is known as earthing or grounding.

To benefit from earthing, you need direct skin contact with the Earth's surface. Walking barefoot on damp or wet grass, which is highly conductive and feels great, is a perfect way to ground yourself—just watch out for prickles and worker bees! Whenever possible, kick off your shoes and walk on the grass, beach, or dirt to directly connect with the Earth's energy.

When natural grounding isn't feasible, our products, such as the Earthing mat, grounding mats, Earthing socks, or balnkets, can bring the Earth's healing power conveniently into your home.

These items provide the necessary contact to absorb the Earth's natural electrons, promoting well-being.

Yes, you can use an Earthing Mat with an electric blanket, and we actually recommend it for added protection.

The Earthing mat helps shield your body from the electrical field emitted by the electrical wires in the electric blanket. Ideally, place the Earthing mat between the electric blanket and your top sheet for optimal protection.

Additionally, it's a great idea to unplug the electric blanket from the wall before sleeping. Even when the blanket is turned off, if it remains plugged in, voltage leakage can still occur. Unplugging it can help reduce exposure to residual EMFs and ensure a safer sleep environment.

By following these steps, you can enjoy the warmth of your electric blanket while benefiting from the grounding effects of the Earthing mat. 

Earthing is far from a new age fad; in fact, it has roots in ancient practices utilized by many cultures for thousands of years. With advancements in science and technology, we've been able to validate the benefits of earthing through rigorous testing and research.

Today, we have various products like our Earthing mat, that allow us to reconnect with the Earth's energy from the comfort inside our homes and workplaces. Modern earthing applications emphasize the importance of prolonged connection, as the benefits increase with time.

Additionally, earthing offers protection from the ever-increasing presence of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in our daily lives—something our ancestors didn’t contend with. By integrating earthing into our routines, we not only tap into an age-old practice for healing but also adapt it to our contemporary needs.

When you start earthing, many people report an array of positive sensations and benefits. These can vary depending on the individual but may include:

Improved Sleep: A common benefit noticed by many users is better sleep quality. Some people find it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

Reduced Pain and Inflammation: Some users experience a reduction in pain and inflammation, particularly those suffering from chronic conditions.

Increased Energy: Many people report feeling more energetic and less fatigued.

Enhanced Mood: There is often an improvement in overall mood and a reduction in stress levels.

General Sense of Well-Being: Some individuals feel a greater sense of calmness and overall well-being.

As for detox like symptoms, it is possible for some people to experience mild detox reactions when they begin earthing as your body adjusts to the natural frequency of the earth. These might include: Fatigue: Some people may initially feel more tired as their body adjusts to the new influx of electrons. Aches and Pains: Temporary increases in aches and pains can occur as the body initiates a healing response. Headaches: Mild headaches might be experienced as part of the detoxification process. 

It's important to listen to your body when you start earthing. If you experience any discomfort, you might want to reduce the amount of time you're grounded each day and gradually increase it as your body adjusts. If severe symptoms occur, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional.

Overall, earthing is intended to reintroduce a natural connection between your body and the Earth, and many people find it beneficial to their health and well-being.

When connected to the Earth through an earthing product, there is a direct connection between the Earth and your Earthing mat, pillow, blanket, wristband etc, enabling effective grounding.

To ensure that these products are functioning correctly and grounding your body, you can use a multimeter set to the 'AC voltage' (often marked as "V~" on the device) setting to measure your body's voltage.

Here's how to check: (Also see our video on how to perform a 'body voltage' test in our video & helpful guides secton).

Measure Baseline Voltage: First, measure the voltage of your body when you are not in contact with the earthing product. Note the reading—let's say, for instance, it’s 1.5 volts.

Measure Grounded Voltage: Next, repeat the measurement while you are in contact with the earthing product.

For the earthing product to be working properly, you should observe a significant reduction in body voltage, ideally by a factor of at least 20. So if your initial body voltage was 1.5 volts, a properly working earthing product should reduce it to 0.075 volts or lower when you are in contact.

By verifying this voltage drop, you can be confident that your earthing product is effectively grounding your body and connecting you to the Earth's natural energy.

To experience the full benefits of your Earthing mat, direct skin contact with the mat is not strictly necessary. As you sleep, your body naturally generates warmth and slight perspiration, which enhances conductivity. This natural moisture allows effective grounding even through a sheet. However, the type of sheet you use can significantly impact the effectiveness of your earthing mat. Here are some recommendations:

Natural Fiber Sheets: Cotton, Linen, Bamboo: These materials are breathable and conductive, allowing for effective electron transfer. Natural fibers like cotton, linen, and bamboo ensure that you remain connected to the Earth's energy throughout the night.

Thin Sheets: Single Layer: Thinner sheets are generally better for conductivity compared to thicker ones. A single-layer sheet usually suffices to allow good contact between your body and the earthing mat.

Avoid Synthetic Fibers: Polyester and Other Synthetics: Synthetic materials, such as polyester, can hinder conductivity and thus reduce the effectiveness of your earthing mat. It's best to avoid sheets made from synthetic fibers.

By choosing the right type of sheet, you can ensure that you are effectively grounded and able to enjoy the full range of health benefits associated with earthing while you sleep.

Earthing is generally considered safe for most people, including those who take medication. However, it's important to keep a few factors in mind:

Consult Your Healthcare Provider: The best course of action is to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new health-related practice, including earthing. They can give you personalized advice based on your specific medical conditions and medications.

Potential Interaction: While earthing is not known to interact directly with medications, it can have effects on various physiological parameters like reducing inflammation, improving sleep, and balancing cortisol levels. If your medication affects any of these areas, it’s a good idea to monitor for changes and discuss them with your healthcare provider.

Gradual Introduction: If you're concerned about how earthing might interact with your medication, you can start off gradually. Spend short periods of time grounded and observe how your body responds.

Personal Monitoring: Keep track of any changes in your symptoms or overall health after starting earthing. This can help you and your healthcare provider better understand its impact on your well-being.

Overall, earthing can be a beneficial practice for many, but it's important to approach it thoughtfully, especially when you are on medication.

Living in an apartment or multi-storied building doesn't prevent you from enjoying the benefits of earthing. 

Earthing Products: There are many products designed specifically for indoor use, including earthing mats, earthing sheets, and blankets. These items connect to the grounding port of an electrical outlet, allowing you to stay grounded indoors. Grounding

Earth Socket tester: Before using any earthing mat or other grounding product with a, it's essential to make sure that your electrical outlets are properly grounded. You can use a simple Earth socket tester to verify this.

An earthing mat, also known as a grounding mat, is a device designed to connect your body to the Earth's natural electric charge. This connection can help reduce inflammation, improve sleep quality, and promote overall well-being.

Cleaning your Earthing mat (and other Carbon/ Black Earthing mats, pads etc) is straightforward and important for maintaining its effectiveness. Here's a simple guide to help you out:

Use Mild Soap and Water: Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the conductive material.

Gently Wipe Down: Gently wipe the surface of the mat to remove dirt, oils, and other debris.

Avoid Soaking: Do not soak or submerge the mat in water. Excess moisture can damage the inner conductive layer.

Dry Completely: Use a dry towel to absorb any excess water. Ensure the mat is completely dry before reconnecting it to the socket.

Regular Maintenance: Aim to clean your earthing mat every few weeks or as needed, depending on usage and environmental factors.


Washing your earthing sheet, quilted pads or cotton pillow covers with silver fibers requires a bit of extra care to ensure its longevity and effectiveness.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to properly clean it:

Gentle Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent that does not contain bleach, whitening agents, or oils, which can tarnish the silver fibers and reduce conductivity. Avoid using fabric softeners.

Hand Wash or Gentle Cycle: If washing by hand, gently agitate the sheet in lukewarm water. If using a washing machine, select a gentle or delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water.

Avoid Bleach and Fabric Softener: Do not use bleach, fabric softener, or any laundry additives as they can damage the silver fibers.

Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all detergent is thoroughly rinsed out, as residues can affect the sheet's conductivity.

Air Dry: Lay the sheet flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid wringing it out or using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the fibers.

No Ironing: Do not iron the sheet. Frequency: Wash the sheet as necessary, but not more often than every couple of weeks to preserve the life of the silver fibers.

Following these steps will help ensure your earthing products remain conductive, efective and in good condition.

Yes, you can absolutely still wear PJs! When using an earthing mat, it's best to wear natural fiber pajamas like cotton, as they allow for better conductivity. Synthetic materials, like polyester, can act as an insulating barrier, reducing the effectiveness of the earthing process. So, as long as your PJs are made of natural fibers, you can stay comfy and grounded at the same time!

The only exception to this is if you are using a cotton earthing sheet that has the silver fiber. These products, like our quilted earthing pads, need direct skin contact to work. 

For the best results, it's recommended that the earthing mat be close to your skin. This means placing it directly under a fitted sheet, preferably made of cotton. If you put the earthing mat under a mattress protector, underlay, or mattress topper, it may insulate the Earth's energy from reaching your body, potentially reducing the effectiveness of grounding.

So, to maximize the benefits, use the earthing mat just under a single fitted sheet. This way, you can experience the full grounding effect.
