Frequently asked questions: FAQs

The answer to the most commonly asked questions relating to Earthing.

What is Earthing?

Earthing, also known as Grounding, refers to direct physical contact with the Earth's surface.  Our products, such as our Earthing mats, desk mats, socks, and throws, are designed for use inside your home and workplace. They are made with a conductive element such as carbon or, otherwise, a silver fibre thread. When connected to the Earth via the Earthing plug and cord, the surface of our products becomes grounded/earthed. 

When will my order ship? 

Our products are in stock here in New Zealand, and the Grounded Kiwi team takes pride in delivering top-notch service with quick delivery. We try to send parcels out as soon as possible, with many orders arriving at your front door within 24-48 hours. 

All items are couriered with tracking; if anything goes wrong, there is no need to worry; the GK team will help get it sorted straight away. 

What should I feel when I start?

Experiences with Earthing vary. Some people report various sensations when they begin Earthing.  We encourage you to try Earthing for at least 40 nights to see how it fits into your routine. If you have any health concerns or experience any unusual sensations, please consult with your healthcare provider.

Do I need to switch the plug on or off?

It does not matter if the power switch is on or off. Our Earthing products are only connected to the 'Earth' side of the electrical system and do not consume any power at all. We always recommend testing your Earth connection first with a socket tester prior to using your earthing product. 

Does my Earthing underlay work with a sheet on top?

Direct skin contact with the earthing mat is not required.  As you sleep, your body's natural moisture allows the earthing effect to pass through a natural fibre sheet, such as cotton.

How do I know if my Earthing product is working?

Our earthing products are designed to connect you to the earth.  For information on how to use our products, please refer to the instructions included with your purchase. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service team. Also, please check out our 'helpful videos' page for more information. 

Can I use the Earthing Underlay with my electric blanket?

Yes. The Earthing mat is best situated between the electric blanket and your top sheet.

Unplugging the electric blanket from the wall before sleeping is also an excellent idea. Even when it's off, if the blanket is plugged into the wall, there will be voltage leakage.

I take medication. Is Earthing okay for me?

Earthing is generally considered a wellness practice that many people explore. However, it's important to be mindful of your individual health circumstances.

Consult Your Healthcare Provider: The best approach is to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new wellness practice, including earthing. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific health conditions and any medications you are taking.

Individual Responses: Everyone's experience with wellness practices can be different. While many people explore earthing as part of a healthy lifestyle, it's essential to listen to your body.

Gradual Introduction: If you're new to earthing, consider starting gradually. Observe how you feel as you incorporate it into your routine.

Personal Monitoring: Pay attention to any changes you may experience as you explore earthing. This information can be valuable for you and your healthcare provider.

If you have any health concerns, we recommend consulting with your healthcare professional before using our products.  The information on this website is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Waking up without brain fog for the first time in years

I can't afford a bed-sized grounding mat, so I got myself this small mat and am using it in bed, either under my torso if it's warm enough to sleep without a T-shirt on, or under my legs if not.
After only one night I could feel the difference.
It is SO GOOD to wake up with a clear head. Thank you!

Isn't Earthing so cool! It is a completely natural way to help the body. Thank you for the review - Happy Earthing - Blake

Very Pleased with the 9000 ppb Hydrogen Water Bottle

I have been using the 9000 ppb hydrogen water bottle for almost 3 weeks now and am very pleased with the results. Often it is difficult to tell with health interventions if they are having a positive impact or not, but I am quite sure the hydrogen water has improved things for me. I have Crohn's disease with associated chronic inflammation and chronic fatigue. My energy levels have certainly improved enabling me to exercise more which I'm thrilled about. I haven't had my inflammation levels tested since using the hydrogen water but my trips to the bathroom have decreased indicating an improvement there for which I'm very grateful. I use the 18 minute cycle 3 times a day. This is one intervention I will definitely continue to use.

Awesome! Thank you so much for the review and good on you for looking at way to support your wellbeing. I understand (through a friend of mine) how bad chrons can be, not just on the body but the constant struggle with energy that 'plays on the mind'. Thank you so much for writing such a detailed review that I hope others will read and get benefit from. Thank you Joan - Blake

Goodbye neuropathy

I didn’t know what to expect when I tried my sisters grounding sheet. But I was surprised that the next day after using her sheet that the neuropathy in my feet was over 50% better. Parts of my feet have been numb for over 25 years. So I was sold on the benefits. I ordered my own sheet which I use under my cotton fitted sheet. My sisters was a silver thread one which I didn’t want as you have to wash it regularly and I could see it might not last long so I went for the carbon sheet from Grounded Kiwi. It arrived quickly with updates on where it was and when to expect it. I don’t notice the sheet under my fitted cotton sheet although there is a warm feeling to it probably just my body warmth reflected. There is an improvement in my feet the more I use it. I am also sleeping better and it’s a deeper sleep. I would have paid the same price as the sheet cost if I could go to a doctor and he could have given me the same benefits. So glad I have the benefits without using medications, but something natural. It should be standard that Beds should be made with grounding sheets made into them so everyone can experience the benefits. I will definitely recommend to anyone. Grounding is great.

Truly amazing! What a change and I am just so happy for you! Thank you for sharing your experience of our earthing mat. I know other people in a similar situation will get great benefit of reading your words.

First time in decades, I've slept this good

Im in love! Since sleeping on the Earthing mat, I feel rested. Its a calm, peaceful, quiet presence and im so thankful I finally invested in a mat. I'm a shift worker and this mat is nothing short of a miracle.
Not only does it give me better sleep, I also have a nigly knee from a torn cartilage, years ago. The earthing mat always sooths it and sees it right the next morning.
Sometimes I feel like I go to bed broken, and the mat gently puts me back together. I really cant imagine living without an earthing mat anymore.
If anyone is sitting on the fence, this is your sign! I higly recommend it!!

It's reviews like this that warm my heart and keep us going. I just love being able to help people with Earthing.
Thank you so much for your review of our earthing mat Caroline

Worth the gamble

Best purchase ever! Results after first night to better sleep; muscle recovery improved; hormones balanced.. Amazing and I cannot understand why everyone doesn’t have a grounding Mat? I’m waiting on the sales to buy my kids one each.

BEST PURCHASE EVER! - What a review! I love helping people

The gift of giving naturally

I was drawn to the Shungite egg as a way to help with the energy in my bedroom and protect me naturally
While I sleep. I was also looking for something a bit different for a friend of mine who had given me a gift also
So I thought that’s perfect it’s special unique and all natural. We both love them. From the moment I held my egg I felt connected and grounded .
Thank you Grounded Kiwi.

Very responsive

I was skeptical but keen to try. Turns out I had quite an experience with tingling feet and hands and then shoulder and legs. I had deep sleep and my husband said his head felt clear in the morning. That's just the first night, with thick brushed cotton sheets and nightwear.

Very happy rookie Grounder

I received my order quickly, and eagerly installed the bed sheet and pillow cover. I was pleased with how easy it was. I had been a little concerned that I would be able to feel the grounding items under my bedding, and especially the pillowcase one. I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and flexible the grounding sheets are, and I cannot feel them at all! I've noticed myself sleeping deeper... waking up in the morning and realising I haven't woken at all during the night and a friend commented I look more rested than previously. My dogs also seem to want to spend more time on my bed than they used to, so I think they are also picking up the grounding! I'm very happy with my purchase.

Hi there! Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying your new Double Bed Earthing Mat and Pillow Cover.

Really enjoying the grounding sheet, I used to wake up very early in the morning with a lot of pain and stiffness in my lower back and it has all but disappeared and sleeping considerably better now

Earthing Mat Satisfaction

I have been researching and thinking of a getting a grounding mat for our bed for a while. Finally got it and super stoked I did. After just a week I’m waking up without lower back pain that I’ve constantly had for years!

Now thats cool!
Thank you so much for sharing this. SO happy to hear that earthing has helped you out with the back pain. It sucks waking up and still being in pain! Not any more!

Powerful shungite…

… which turned out to be far more powerful than its promise. I am a fan of Mt Shasta so have renamed this beautiful precious stone.
I really appreciate the care and attention the team at grounded Kiwi bring to all of their products as well as the follow-up they provide.

Happy desk mat

I'm extremely sensitive and go through phases of struggling to earth because my whole body spins and I'm left dizzy for the day even after just 10 minutes of earthing, so I brought this small earthing/emf mat for my desk because I felt it maybe a nice way to just stop and sit with the mat for 10 minutes and see if I can work through the feelings. It's still intense, but I've been able to stand up and be okay with a few uses. I also purchased it because I let a friend borrow my other medium sized mat. The mats are very well made. The desk one is a decent one for a phone etc devices, added emf bonus with the phone on my lap at times. An as always extremely fast service from Blake and the team at Grounded Kiwi, worth supporting this awesome business.

Thank you for sharing your experience with our Earthing Desk Mat! We are happy to hear that it has been helpful for you and your sensitivities. Our team takes pride in creating quality products and we appreciate your support. Keep on grounding! - The Grounded Kiwi Team

Why didn't i buy this sooner!

For a long time i have suffered from pain everywhere it seems! I'm also at that age where perimenopause is kicking my butt with sleepless nights, body aches , needing a nap during the day etc. After coming back from a short break away in which involved alot of walking my body just didn't cope well. So when we got home your product came up on my news feed. I thought why not got nothing to loose by trying....
Well!! arrived very quickly and i promptly put it on my bed and bedtime rolled around, my body started tingling once i layed down which lasted 2 nights, but when i woke the next day i was energized! Walking was so much easier , the pain in my hips and knees had eased, my muscles were less tense. My brain fog had gone. I felt like a younger me again not a 52 year old lol. It took maybe 3 nights before i noticed i was sleeping so much better and whats even better my husband's snoring has got quieter so he must be sleeping better to !
So summary, painfree at the moment, more energy, better sleep, what more could you ask for. You won't regret buying one. Thank you for changing our lives.

Love the review! Thank you so much Shona!
